WiFi Posts
Slow speeds, dead zones, flashing lights and dropouts are almost always fixable without an engineer visit, and this section shows you how. The guides here cover the WiFi problems UK households actually search for: hub status lights decoded model by model, routers that disconnect at the same time every evening, signal that will not reach the far bedroom, and the settings your ISP hub hides from you. Every walkthrough is written against the real admin screens of the hubs Virgin Media, Sky, BT, EE and Vodafone supply, so the menus match what you see at home. Start with the Virgin Media hub lights guide if a light has changed colour, the universal router lights guide for any other brand, or the weak WiFi signal fixes when everything works but feels slow.
