It sounds like it's an upload issue if you can hear other people fine. Does the speed test have any more information about line quality (ping, jitter etc?)?
Might be worth running the same tests in the house as well because it might be an issue outside your house rather than between house and office
Wondering if anyone far more knowledgable than me can help on something that is doing my head in currently.
We have a garden office that has Cat5 cable coming from the router in the house, in the office I'm using one of these: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/tl-wr802n/
It's set up as an access point, so when working or Zwifting we use the separate wifi connection transmitted from that dongle. Just ran a speed test and it's saying 72mbps D/L, 18.5mbps U/L. This seems like it should be fast enough for everything I need to do.
I have zero issues with this setup except in the last couple of months or so, whenever I am on Zoom I get issues with 'connection unstable' and me lagging/freezing so people often can't hear what I'm saying. Generally I can hear everyone else OK.
I am unsure what exactly could be the problem here, the various settings of this mini router aren't easy for me to make sense of. I'd appreciate any tips or suggestions on what to do in terms of troubleshooting, as I'm pulling my hair out a bit because like most people I spend a [un]fair amount of time on Zoom...
