Hi all. First post.
I am having an issue with my Note 10.1 (2012 edition).
If I have my wifi enabled, it causes the internet access speed throughout the house to drop severely in speed. This even effects my PC connected to the router via an ethernet cable. I have tested this using speedtest.net on my PC, and initially the ping is in the region of 1-2 seconds, download speed of ~ 100 kB/s. If I turn off the wifi on my tab, the ping goes immediately right back to ~30 ms, and download speeds up to 6MB/s (performed both on PC and Note 2). I have a number of other wifi enabled devices (various android tablets and an XBOX360 and PS3) connected to my router as well, which does not cause issues.

My router is an EE brightbox router, and has no other problems bar this one.

I have just upgraded the Note 10.1 to KitKat, and I factory reset it just before upgrading.
It is very frustrating - and annoying. But it is definitely due to the wifi on the note tab causing the internet to slow.

Any help / ideas on how to fix this will be gratefully accepted!
