Why Is My Internet Slow in Derby?
If your internet feels slow in Derby — especially upstairs, in extensions, or in a home office — you’re not alone. In most homes the speed problem is caused by Wi‑Fi coverage, router placement, or internal layout rather than the broadband line itself.
- Slow internet in extensions and rear rooms
- Upstairs Wi‑Fi weak or constantly switching bands
- Smart TV buffering even on “fast” fibre
- Garden office signal dropping during calls
We cover Derby and nearby areas including Allestree, Mickleover and Littleover.
What we do
Router relocation to a better position + wired Wi‑Fi access points for stable coverage across the whole property — including outbuildings.

Why it’s slow (the usual causes)
Router in the wrong spot
Routers placed by the entry point rarely cover a full house, especially with multiple rooms in between.
Thick walls & layout
Metal appliances, foil‑backed plasterboard and dense walls can reduce signal strength dramatically.
No wired backhaul
Without a wired feed, extra nodes can compete and create inconsistent roaming.
Our fix
We install a wired “spine” where needed and add access points for stable Wi‑Fi across the property.
Outbuildings
Outbuildings can be connected properly with cable + access point, instead of hoping a booster reaches.
FAQs
Will this improve upload speed too?
If Wi‑Fi is the bottleneck, yes — better coverage and wired backhaul improves both download and upload stability.
Can you make it neat?
Yes — we plan cable routes carefully and keep things tidy and practical.
Is it disruptive?
We keep disruption low and choose sensible routes to minimise disruption.
