New to Virgin Broadband. First 3 weeks were perfect, however nothing but issues now. We have a Hub 5. First of all my laptop refuses to work, I get a connected no internet message. Mine and all the other phones in the house constantly lose connection. Essentially saying our network does not appear to be connected to the internet. Here is the weird part, since we got Virgin we have had an extender upstairs. Speed is a lot slower, but if we are connected to that we face none of the above issues. Even weirder thing is if we create a guest network the internet works flawlessly too on ALL devices. I’ve already factory reset the hub once and the issues instantly happened again. Any ideas? Not even a month into the contract with Virgin and to be honest this isn’t great.

Can we check… are your issues only evident on wifi connections or do you see them at the same times on devices connected on ethernet cables? If you don't know, can you check on ethernet to help diagnose whether it is just a wifi issue or it could be network connection/Hub related?
Then can you do this...
_______________
Post up your Hub/network connection details and someone will check to see if there is a problem there. In your browser’s URL box type in http://192.168.0.1 (or http://192.168.100.1 - if in modem mode) (DONT click these links) - and hit return. No need to log in - just click on the “Router Status” icon/text at bottom-middle (Hub3/4/5) or top/right (SH’s) - of the Login page.
Then… Navigate to these “data pages” and just copy/paste the normal “Formatted Text” (not images) 3 FULL sets of data onto here – 2 tables from the Downstream, 2 from the Upstream, & the Network Logs pages. 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). If character limits are “exceeded” - just do two posts
Also, If you haven’t already, set up a free, secure and “offlsite” - “Broadband Quality Monitor” to continually monitor the state of your connection and record any true network dropouts , latency issues, packet drops, etc - it will thus allow you to differentiate between those and simple wifi dropouts. It does it 24/7/365 and it keeps a visual record of any/all of your network disconnections, useful data to have to match to the Network logs (in your Hub settings) and also in discussions with VM - note it will take a few hours to start seeing a sensible picture - post up the “link” to the “share live graph”. Click the lower link (Share Live Graph) then, click generate. Copy the text in the Direct Link box, beware, there may be more text than you can see. On here click the Link icon (2 links chain to the left of the camera icon) In the URL box paste the link you copied and then click OK

Ethernet cable has issues too. We are solely relying on the guest connection right now which obviously is not ideal. Having to sign into the router via my phone. Just for complete transparency I’m doing all this for my stepdad, I’m currently living with him and I would say he’s pretty technologically illiterate and relys on me to fix things.

Hey @Fjr1993,
Welcome to the Community Forums and thanks for the post.
We have had a look into the systems and do not see any errors with your systems, can you confirm when the services drop out, what are you usually doing within the household for this to happen?
