Broadband dropping every night

Hi

I noticed my internet dropping evry night at around 1am. The router displays green lights and goes through the motions of rebooting; sometimes this is for a few minutes, sometimes longer. I searched these forums and and set up a BQM. Here's the results since 12th July:

Previous to setting up the BQM I had tried rebooting the router plenty of times, factory resetting the router, checking all cables etc. I've also noticed poor upload speeds and poor game streaming and issues with connected devices in the morning. The time of day this occurs is extra annoying as it's the only time I have to enjoy online gaming.

I hope I have linked the BQM images correctly and hope that someone can shed some light on these issues. If there are further tests I can complete to help diagnose and resolve this, I'm more than happy to attempt them.

 

Thanks

Not the easiest way to get your BQM - but I looked at a couple of them and they are about the worst I have ever seen !

Apart from the 1am drops what is connectivity like the rest of the time - any noticeable issues?

Are you in normal router mode or have you got the Hub in modem mode with your own router ?

Can you post up the hubs stats as per this...

In your browser’s URL box type in http://192.168.0.1  (or http://192.168.100.1 - if in modem mode) and hit return. On the first page up [there should be no need to login if you have done so before unless you have the New Hub4 when you do] click on the “router status” icon/text at bottom-middle of first page up and then copy/paste as “Formatted Text” (not images) 3 FULL sets of data onto here – 2 pages from the Downstream, 2 from the Upstream, & the Network Logs page. 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.

Thanks for your reply.

 

Sorry for the BQM links, wasn't sure which links to use and the post preview gave me no insight as to which one would work.

The router is in normal router mode.

Connectivity is generally ok, except in the morning after a connection drop my phone requires reconnecting to the wifi (despite it appearing as if it's connected) and sometimes my Google hub speakers lose their connection. Upload speeds are often attrocious for no discernable reason, when streaming games I get bad network warnings when the broadband package I have should be more than suitable. Some websites load as if I'm still on dial-up but when I follow that up with a speedtest I get ok results: 125-175 megabits per second, over wifi upstairs from the router.

You have a problem on the Up channel 4 lots of T3 drops and its on 16qam (should be 64) - other up channel power levels are a bit low too - Hub may be struggling. It needs VM to look in more detail - I will flag for someone to take a look on here.

Thanks for your messages and clearing data protection, nevc,


I have set up an engineer’s visit for you which you will be able to view from your online account here.


Cheers,
Corey C

Excellent. I'll update this post once the engineer has visited.

 

Many thanks again

You're welcome. nevc. Happy to help.

Update:

The engineer turned up and checked everything over, replacing some of the internal cables to be on the safe side. Following the testing he did on the external cable/fiber he discoverd that a reading from the outside box to the hole 10 meters away from the propery was way off. He said that it looks like that short bit of fibre must be faulty. He organised for that section of fibre to be replaced and that was done today. Thus far everything looks fine and judging by the small amount of data available on the BQM it looks like the issue is resolved!

Big thanks again for the help in this forum and a thumbs up for the service by the engineers!
