Can I ask you to try one more thing, IMightAsWellBashMyHeadIn?

 

Try while connecting to a different network, either another WiFi or mobile data and let us know if the issue persists then as well.

Hi Hannah,

It’s significantly faster if I change to mobile data so the issue is definitely linked to my home wifi network.

Dropbox is the only issue I have with uploads or downloads over multiple devices over wifi.

    Hi Nancy,

    Yes I have as mentioned in reply 2.

    In another current thread it appears to be related to MTU size. I can not change that setting.

    Looks like I’ll have to try another service.
