    Hey paul464646,

    Welcome back to the Community Forums and thanks for the post.

    Sorry to see you have been having these issues, looking into our systems we do not see anything that would flag as an error, can you confirm if you were able to check for any local outages or if this has since improved?

    Joe

        Hi paul464646 

        Thanks for coming back to us.

        The router has been up for over 2 months.

        Are you OK to unplug it, wait 5 minutes and re-plug in again for me? Then monitor the connection?

        Best wishes.

  • Hi paul464646,

    Thank you for reaching out to us in our community and welcome back, sorry to see you are facing poor ping, I was able to locate you on our system with the details we have for you however was unable to see any issue, as you have a 3rd party Router and as advised have ours in Modem mode this means there is only so much we can see, please put the Router back in  Router mode so we can further checks.

    Regards

    Paul.

      Correct I the VM modem router is in modem only mode. As I run a custom router for security + VLAN's + VM! Putting the VM modem router back into router mode, would mean I taking my network offline whilst you test! as I'm not willing to compromise my network security / configurations with a VM modern router on my LAN.

      What other options are available? As issues with my ping and more so the poor "Post RS Errors" numbers are related to the VM modern on your cable side i.e. downstream + upstream connection and not the router side of functionality which is LAN side?

        Hi paul464646, thank you for your response.

        Unfortunately, we can't support you any further via this avenue unless you're willing to put your Hub into router mode.

        In order to minimise the amount of time you'll need to make the change for, we'd suggest calling the customer service team on 0345 454 1111 (Option one, then two, then one), or 150 from a Virgin Media landline, and doing it while on the phone.

        Please let us know how you get on.

        Regards,
        Daniel
