Broadband Crashing regularly early morning

My broadband is crashing on a regular basis early morning. It doesn't  automatically  reset after these crashes with the hub requiring a manual reset. A replacement hub provided by Virgin shows same symptoms. The hub is the Arris VMDG640.

I have the Thinkbroadband BQM installed that shows the actual outage time.

Grateful for any advice.

    Hi Kath,

    Many thanks your reply. I have checked all my cables are tight. I don’t think the replacement modem is new as it came loosely packed in a cardboard box with no protective polythene bags on  the hub or the accessories. The information card which gives the password for the hub was missing along with the small connector spanner. The hub itself was dusty.

    However I went ahead and installed it to see if it made any difference. 
    Over the first two days the hub crashed in the early hours and required a manual reset. Since then the system has been stable but I did experience  occasional  crash  free days with my original hub. I have been in contact with Virgin Media  support who  originally ordered the replacement hub and they have arranged  for an  engineer to visit tomorrow afternoon. 
    I will keep you posted of any findings and also try and fathom how to post the the BQM link.

    Kind regards

      .

      Crashes started to appear during August and through to September . The crashes in question are mainly from the hours of 2-6am.This monitor ended around 2pm on 4th September which was the time the replacement hub was installed. The manual hub resets were performed during my waking hours

  • Hi Lucks, 

    Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. It's lovely having you on board with us in the Forums. ⭐

    We're sorry to hear you're having issues with your connection which is causing your hub to need to be rebooted. If the same is happening after installing a new hub, it's likely an issue with either your equipment or the cables. Can you ensure the cables are all tight?

    Can you also post the link to the TBB graph?

    Many thanks,
