Recently joined Virgin Media. Hub 5 keeps disconnecting. Not impressed.

I had my 1gb hub installed yesterday morning. Was fine for a few hours and then dropping and disconnecting began to happen, and is still happening now. It is extremely frustrating to deal with, especially considering resetting it does nothing and when I do, it takes a very very long time to reconnect.

I had an engineer out this morning to inspect it, and of course there were zero issues when he did, but like a sick joke I've been dealing with this all day since he's left. The network isn't available when I scan for it. The white light will flash on and off randomly, and then sometimes disappear completely for long periods of time. Sometimes it may even flash a blue light. What the hell is happening?

On top of this, I'm also having connectivity issues with both of your apps - My Virgin Media won't let me connect to services, and Virgin Connect won't let me browse my hub settings, and even says I must install the hub despite the fact that it is literally installed. To be honest, this is unacceptable. If the hub is the issue here, and it's a known issue, why is it acceptable to issue it for general use?

      Do I need to actively be connected to my virgin WiFi for the BQM to be able to monitor the connection though? If so, I'm not sure that's going to be possible with the current instability I'm having. 

      Thanks for the reply btw.

        Hi Ash_Republic,

        Thanks for your post and welcome to our community.

        I'm sorry to hear about the service issues you're having. 

        Please disconnect any Ethernet cables from the Hub and then reboot the Hub.

        Do you have any further engineer visits scheduled?

        Please pop back to us when you can.
