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...
First obvious thing is to plug your laptop directly into the network cable in the garden office and see if the same happens. That can rule out the access point or not.
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/
