Speeds are much lower than other devices on the same network
WiFi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting

Quick checks you can do at home

Restart your router and modem

Why it can happen in Basingstoke
Local issues can also make WiFi feel inconsistent. Some areas may have more signal interference due to building density or nearby networks. Walls, floors, and home layout can also reduce range, especially with older routers.
That said, if your WiFi is only weak on one device, or the issue started after a drop, spill, or repair, hardware problems become more likely.
When your device WiFi hardware may be faulty
A faulty WiFi adapter or damaged internal component can cause:
Weak or unstable WiFi reception
Limited range compared to other devices
Connection timeouts or repeated authentication failures
Hotspot issues, where your device cannot maintain a stable broadcast
If your device was dropped, had liquid contact, or shows WiFi problems after screen or casing work, the wireless hardware may need inspection.
