Blog2020 ≫ I bought a new router

Trying to get to the bottom of my home internet issues (commonly referred to as the WIFI but it's really a bigger issue than that) I bought a new ruter1. Things seem to be marginally better right now but it could be just coincidence, or that I've physically moved things around the house. Fortnite is downloading a new update, I'm on the internets, and the boys are watching IPlayer all at the same time, and no-one is screaming.

Replacing the router and rebooting everything has made my Google Home home automation mostly start working again. Still got some small issues with grouping of lights, but getting there.

Man alive it is hot again, though only 28°... I think the boys would like to play in the paddling pool again, they had a whale of a time out there yesterday.

I think the heat might have made our internets worse. We're using 4g, so we are affected by the number of other customers using the same mast at the same time. This hot weather has attracted hundreds of people to the beach, and so they're all connected to the same mobile mast as me.

Clare is working today, I'm achieving relatively little. I tried to do housework and ironing but it's too hot.
