What speed are you paying for from NowTV? What NowTV box do you have?

The TV may be the limiting factor, as the wifi in most TVs is terrible.

Can you try running a speedtest when your phone is connected to the wifi...when standing near to the NowTV box (to see if it's the NowTV box or the TV).

Hi
The biggest number i saw while standing next to the box with my phone was 144Mbps

The box matches up with pictures of the now tv broadband hub two online

In theory, even the cheapest one (excluding that bluetooth adapter) from your Argos link will work - just depends on how far away from the NowTV box is the PC (I think your motherboard supports wifi6 - if it's the PC from your previous posts)?

But this one supports the higher speeds/specs that your PC and the NowTV Hub2 (i.e. 802.11n/ac) does...

I'd estimate the direct distance to be around 5M from the box to my room, not sure how I'd measure the exact distance. Good to know we wont have to spend £50!

Yes, that distance is fine…was just worried that you were 30m or so away at the end of the garden or something.
