Connection keeps dropping every few minutes. Ayrshire.

[LochyMacleod]

Every few minutes my connection will completely drop for 10-30 seconds making 99% of online games unplayable. 

So not only games but discord and i cant even load a webpage when it does it. 

Its been doing this for the past 24 hours at least..

 This is my sam knows but even with only 93mb i should be getting full drops in connection. Usually this is fixed with a hub reset though. Yesterday when i ws having these issues my sam knows was showing full speed. 

[LochyMacleod]

Also im on a fully wired connection. Direct from my hub to my PC.

It was also happening on both my sons Xbox Series X's and they are fully wired too.

Hi LochyMacleod

Welcome back to the community. 

Sorry to hear you're currently experiencing connection issues. Thank you for posting your hub log and BQM link. 

I can't see any issues on our side either that might be causing these connection and speed concerns. There are also no area concerns. Has this issue just started to occur? Have you made any changes at all to your equipment? What ethernet categories are you using? Does your WiFi devices also have similar speeds that never exceed 94mbps?

Please can you try a 60 second pin hole reset on the router. This will revert any customisations back to factory settings and full update the router with firmware/software updates. Please do not reboot the router whilst it is completing the pin hole request.
