Internet keeps disconnecting

Had this issue December last year, engineer called and in his words “ tidied up all connections and removed some unnecessary bits”. As of Sunday the problem has returned. Internet drops Wi-Fi signal is still present on device’s, two white arrows appear on virgin tv box. This lasts for approximately 30 seconds before connection is restored and occurs multiple times a day. This also occurs during the early hours of the day when nobody is using the internet. have tried rebooting the hub & factory reset the hub.

      Hi Jacquimark 

      Welcome back to the community forums. 

      Sorry to hear that you're having service issues at this time. I have checked the system at our side and can see that your service is affected by an SNR issue (signal noise ratio) at this time. I have raised this to the team to investigate this further and to get more of an update for you. My apologies for any inconvenience this issue is causing you, the team will be working to have this resolved as soon as possible for you.

      For some reason the web site will no longer let me add my BQM picture! But it’s basically a red oblong.

      Hi Jacquimark 

      Happy to hear that you services are all resolved for you. 

      If you have recently had your hub replaced you will need to re-set up your BQM with your new hub's IP. 

      Just set up as normal with the new hubs information and the BQM will start to monitor the new hub service going forward. 

      Please let us know if you are having any further issues or have any questions at all. We'll be here to help on the community forums if needed :).

    Hi Carly, the thinkbroadband BQM automatically brought up the router IP address. I think there must be something in the hub 4 settings that is causing the BQM to not get through. I’m not sure what settings to change. 
    thanks.

      Thanks for your reply Jacquimark 😊 Sorry to see you've not been able to set this up.

      I'd recommend checking the hub and BQM to ensure the IP is correct. If that doesn't help please go to Advance settings > Tools > Pings > Wan Ping Respond then Respond to ICMP echo request sent to WAN IP in the hub settings. Then check the router is set up to accept ping requests on WAN be a button that says 'reply to ICMP requests.

      Please let us know if this helps or not, we can assist further if needed.

      Regards

      Nathan

    Thanks for all the replies. I did a hub reset. I kept the pin pressed for just over 60 seconds, The hub light flashed again. I then waited until the Wi-Fi had returned before plugging in the Ethernet connections. The BQM now appears to be working.

        Since the hub / router was change from the hub 5 to the hub 4 the internet has been working fine without any problems. But the BQM shows basically red.

    The technician will confirm if a charge is applicable and a £25 Appointment Charge or a £25 Missed Appointment Charge may be applied to your account.
