Recently upgraded wifi modem to a Telstra Smart Modem 4 and also upgraded to FTTP (now 525 MMPS). We had continual freezing/buffering beginning with the circle of death. After researching the topic I discover the Google streamer requires WPA2 so not to comprimise the entire home network by degrading from WPA3 I have added and now configured my Netgear extender to WPA2 with a seperate SSID and we now have viewing pleasure for around 40 minutes then it drops out with the circle of death. The signal strength is around 250 MMPs. The only time we have joy is when I hot spot my android and it will stream till the cows come home ..... what now ? As a temporary last resort I am going to buy a cat6a lan lead and try a hard wired connection between the streamer and modem. Is it the Telstra wifi modem at fault here ?
