Connection drops, twice a day at least!

[baldyslaphead59]

I have a hub3 router, and everyday without fail the connection drops at least twice a day.

This has been happening for the past 3/4 weeks and although work was recently planned, and carried out in my area, the problem is still happening. I was hoping the planned work was the solution, but apparently not the case.

I have recently pin reset the router, hoping that might resolve the issue, but to no avail.

The router has not been moved from its "home" for months, and nothing new has been installed near it, so that is unlikely to be the issue.

Once I switch the router off, and back on again, the wi-fi comes back, only for the problem to re-surface again later in the day/the following day

Any ideas what the issue may be?

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Community Forums, baldyslaphead59,

Sorry to hear that you have been having connection issues. How has things been since your post? Is this on wired or wireless connections?
I have run a remote diagnostic and have not been able to identify any issues with your connection.
We can also provide online broadband help here: https://www.virginmedia.com/help/services-support/broadband
Let us know if you need any further help.

Cheers,
Corey C

Thanks for the response Corey, but nothing has changed.

Usually two reboots a day, sometimes 3, which when working from home is not going down well with my employer.

Please find attached screenshots detailing the dropouts, which I have been taking for the last 3 days, including today, as you can see, another dropout moments ago.

Accompanying these is the result of a test I have just run via the earlier link provided in Coreys response, detailing there is an issue.

Hi @baldyslaphead59 

Sorry but I've had to reject your BQM's as per forum rules as they contained your IP address.

Please can you remove your IP address in the photos and then post them again?

Also if possible set up a live link to your BQM, doing that will automatically obscure your IP address.

Is this what you need?

Hi again,

Thanks for that @baldyslaphead59  sorry to mess you about.

That link works and it's obscured your IP address 😀

EDIT - it is no longer working, looks like when you tidied it up it missed part of the URL.

When you click on (Share Live Graph) copying  the text in the Direct Link box (select all) makes it easier for the forum guru's to click on and see what's happening.

It would also be really useful for them to see your stats since the Forum Staff ran diagnostics and didn't see any faults. I could certainly see issues in the BQM.

You should post your router stats here for the learned members to check what the problem is and offer assistance.

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.

Don't login, instead below there click on Check Router Status

From the Router Status” page copy/paste 3 FULL sets of data onto here – from the Downstream, Upstream, & Network Logs pages. 

Pictures aren't any use as they will show your MAC address, but if you copy paste them the forum automatically obscures the MAC addresses.

You may see an error when posting some of the logs, just ignore that and press Post again.  It will probably need 2 posts for all the info, possibly 3.
