Auto switching to best connection
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have a Virgin Media Super Hub 3 connected to a Virgin Tivo box, in the bedroom on the first floor. In the lounge there is a Virgin V6 box (the engineer said the hub needed to be connected to the box in the bedroom, rather than the lounge).
The wifi is fast but the range is not great. I bought the TP-WPA8630 as wifi in the downstairs kitchen is very patchy. The super hub 3 has both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz connectinos, but I don't have to pick the best one, it does that automatically.
I've set the TP-WPA8630 extender and adaptor up, and see both the 2.4Ghz wifi hotspot and the 5Ghz hotspot. The problem is I have to keep manually selecting the TP connection when I move between the lounge (where the Virgin wifi connection is good) to the kitchen. It then doesn't pick up the Virgin connection when I go back to the lounge, so you're constantly manually selecting the best connection. I can see the Virgin connection in the kitchen but it's very weak and will drop. I tend to use an iPhone or iPad when on the wifi.
Is there a way to ensure you can automatically connect to the best connection, without having to go into the iPhone/iPad and click off the weak signal and select the strong one?
Thanks in advance
