How to troubleshoot Daisy Group broadband performance problems
Before starting to troubleshoot the speed of your Daisy Group broadband connection, we suggest that you perform a Daisy Group Broadband Speed Test to benchmark your current broadband speed.
It is a good idea to also find out the minimum download speed you have subscribed to from Daisy Group.
You can find this info by checking a Daisy Group broadband bill, your Daisy Group contract or by contacting Daisy Group.
Common causes of Daisy Group’s slow internet performance
Is it the Daisy Group broadband that is slow or could it be your device (laptop/smartphone/PC)?
You may need to check how many applications are running on your device.
The performance issue may be due to the over-utilization of your device’s resources i.e RAM/CPU Processor and as opposed to a problem with Daisy Group’s broadband connection.
If you’re on a computer then you can use the task manager to see your Processor and RAM utilization.
On any other device, you should try restarting the device which should hopefully kill all applications that may have been using up your device resources.
Run the Daisy Group Speed test on your PC and your mobile to check how the speedtest results compare between the 2 devices.
This should hopefully give you some info to work with in terms of if the problem lies with your device or the Daisy Group broadband connection.

Is the wireless the issue?
The root cause of the performance issue may be your Wi-Fi network as opposed to the Daisy Group internet connection.
You can rule out the Wi-Fi network by simply connecting your PC directly to the Daisy Group broadband router with a network cable and then run the Daisy Group Speed test again.
If the speed improves when you’re connected via an ethernet cable, this indicates that the problem may be with your Wifi network.
A number of things to investigate:
- Are the WiFi channels that you’re using for your Wifi network (SSID) overlapping with your neighbors?
- Is the Wifi signal from the broadband router obstructed?
- Does your performance get better when your are standing directly in-front of the Daisy Group internet router?
Who is connected to my wireless network?
Have you checked that your wireless network password has not been compromised? Do you have an open Wifi network? How strong is your wireless network password? It could be time to change it.
Others could be using your wireless network and using up all your Daisy Group bandwidth by downloading, uploading or even streaming music or videos over your Daisy Group internet connection! Worse still, they may be conducting illegal activities over your Daisy Group internet connection.
There are 3 apps that you can potentially use to scan your wireless network to check who’s connected:
- Windows users can use Wireless network watcher
- MAC users can use whoFi (who is on my Wifi)
- wireless network troubleshooting tool WiFi Analyzer
The above apps will scan your Wifi network and display a list of the connected devices.
Do I need a wireless network booster for my Daisy Group broadband?
You may discover that there are Wifi black holes at your house, a Wi-Fi network extender also known as a Wi-Fi Booster is the best fix to strengthen your Wifi signal to cover any coverage holes.
The Wi-Fi network extender simply picks up the existing Wifi signal as it is starting to become weaker and re-transmits the Wi-Fi network signal to increase it’s reach.
Place the wireless network extender where your wireless network signal from your Daisy Group internet router is becoming weaker.
Place it approximately where your wireless signal drops down to less than two signal bars. Walk around your home with a tablet to find where this is.
When was the last time you upgraded the Daisy Group broadband router?
The Daisy Group and broadband infrastructure, in general, are frequently upgraded to support new features and improve performance as technology evolves. Always ensure that your Daisy Group internet router is running on the latest software.
Most Daisy Group internet routers will allow you to carry out the software update by logging into the Daisy Group broadband router and simply clicking on a button to perform the upgrade.
If you cannot do this, contact Daisy Group and they will perform the upgrade for you or alternatively, guide you through the process.
As well as upgrading the software, if you have had hardware for a long time, it is worth speaking to Daisy Group to request for a router upgrade.
Is the issue external to your home (at the exchange)?
This is probably the most likely reason for Daisy Group broadband performance issues in your area and is more common for internet broadband connections that are delivered via copper phone lines.
If you are unsure if this is relevant in your case, contact Daisy Group who should be able to carry out the appropriate line tests to see if there is a problem on the Daisy Group internet line.
Is the performance issue due to Daisy Group broadband congestion?
If you’re finding that the Daisy Group broadband connection speed in your area is slows down during certain periods e.g over weekends or evenings, then it may be due to congestion during peak times.
You should speak to Daisy Group to check your guaranteed speed.
