2 Months of constant disconnects. In Modem mode, wired and wireless.

Hello,
Two months now I have had to deal with constant disconnects.
This will go on for hours at a time, every 15 minutes or so.
I'm constantly disconnected from games, my streaming services are interrupted.
I have the super hub in modem mode, and have for years but the past 2 months it's just constant disconnects and reconnects, this happens both on my wired and wireless devices.

Please can you help.

    Connect a PC to the hub in modem mode and see if it still happens or you can do way and put hub in router mode but I'm guessing its your line thats the problem then what mode the hub is in.

    Lets see the connection/Hub data - can you do this....

    ___________________________________________

    In your browser’s URL type in 192.168.0.1 if in router mode or 192.168.100.1 if in modem mode. No need to log in - just click on the “Router Status” icon/text at bottom-middle (Hub3/4/5) or top/right (SH’s) - of the Login page.

    Then… Navigate to these “data pages” and just copy/paste the normal “Formatted Text” (not images) 3 FULL sets of data onto here – 2 tables from the Downstream, 2 from the Upstream, & the Network Logs pages. Don't worry too much about the formatting it can be easily read & DON’T include personal data or MAC addresses - blank them out - if you copy/paste the data, the board software will do this for you (you may need to click the "submit" button again). If character limits are “exceeded” - just do two posts

    Also, If you haven’t already, set up a free, secure and “offlsite” - “Broadband Quality Monitor” to continually monitor the state of your connection and record any true network dropouts , latency issues, packet drops, etc - it will thus allow you to differentiate between those and simple wifi dropouts. It does it 24/7/365 and it keeps a visual record of any/all of your network disconnections, useful data to have to match to the Network logs (in your Hub settings) and also in discussions with VM - note it will take a few hours to start seeing a sensible picture - post up the “link” to the “share live graph”. Click the lower link (Share Live Graph) then, click generate. Copy the text in the Direct Link box, beware, there may be more text than you can see. On here click the Link icon (2 links chain to the left of the camera icon) In the URL box paste the link you copied and then click OK
