Netgear DGN1000 - streaming issues

[FiveTimes]

My old router (philips) packed in last night and I had a spare netgear dgn1000 that was issued by orange when I join them for broadband,

today the wireless signal strength has been dreadful (im less than 1mtr from router).

Also when I try and stream anything I am getting a lot of blocking.

Anyone had similar issues and overcome them ?

TIA

Sounds like my crappy sky router (which to my knowledge is a rebadged netgear)
No tips sorry!

Try to change the default MTU size to 1500 or 1450 or experiment with it or goddammit call tech support! BTW the netgear dgn1000 was a good router.
