Sky Stream UI is abysmal

Happy Sky Stream user here. Been using it for about 3 months and it’s fine. We don’t have full fibre to our house as it’s not available in my area. We use a 5G router with unlimited data plan connected to a set of Deco M5 hubs. My two Sky Stream boxes are connected by Ethernet to the nearest Deco hu

They think I'm crazy

The latency is really specific to everyone’s own setup and then the things they don’t have control over, external factors right behind the router all the way to Nvidia. What works for you might not work for everyone. I’ll say I have really rarely issues and most of the time I’m using a wired connect

My Parents’ WiFi keeps disconnecting on their computer.

Nothing you've said provides much information of use, the Ethernet "Played up"? What do you mean played up, its a cable. Then the Wi-Fi dongle "Played up"? What does this mean?

Reasonable Home Network Setup?

people, quit downvoting OP. they are obviously beginner and are eager to learn. that's a good thing. on consumer hardware, enabling a "guest network" will, in reality, set up a separate VLAN in the backend of the system- hidden away from the user. the reason why it's only available via wifi on consu

The glazing has to stop

you don’t even need a wifi 7 router technically. i’m still on a 3-pack of Deco M5’s that i bought 4 years ago so it’s at least that old. any decent router from the last 5 (maybe even 10) years is probably fine.
