Connection drops, twice a day at least!

baldyslaphead59
On our wavelength

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?

Hi @baldyslaphead59,

I am really sorry to hear/see that you're having some complications with your connection recently. I'm going to send you a private message in a few moments so we can take some additional details and have a closer look at what's going on.
 

Please respond to this at your earliest convenience and we can go from there.

Thanks,

So I’m having the same problem. It started about a week ago and my connection drops daily and I have to reboot my router. I was told in another forum to try and turn smart WiFi off, which I did yesterday, and yet I have woken up this morning with no connection.

The strange thing is that SOME devices remain connected. For example my Apple TV and Virgin set top box are still connected and I can watch apps like Netflix, but my main devices like phone and tablets have reverted to 4G. I’ve had to reboot the router daily to get a connection, and then it drops again the following day.

I’ll be honest, I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to this. All the numbers and tables and stuff that have been posted by the OP go over my head and I’ve no idea what any of that means haha. All I know is all of a sudden my Virgin broadband doesn’t seem to want to do what it’s meant to.

Hi Zach.

Sorry, can you PM me again please, seems I deleted my reply by accident, sorry!

baldy

Another reboot around 9pm.

Hi @baldyslaphead59,

Thank you for getting back to me via private message to offer some more details. As discussed there, I've arranged for a technician visit to go ahead for you.

For security reasons I'm unable to confirm publicly the date/time of the booking, but you can check via your My Virgin Media online account and reschedule it if needed.

Let us know how the visit goes.

Thanks,

Hi Zach.

In "My Account" I've accessed the help / orders and appointments section / Manage your order and appointment / Quick start or engineer / how to reschedule, whereby it then asks me to sign in (I already have) and greets me with

My Orders and Appointments

It looks like you don't have any open orders!

If you'd like to make a change to your package, its easy to do online.

 

Expecting to see an open order here?

If you've placed an order within the last 24 hours, please wait one full day for this to show. If you still can't see an order this time, contact us to find out more.

 

By clicking the "contact us" link embedded above, it then loops me back to the same cycle, asking me to sign in again, etc etc.

I'll give it until later today as it does state it can take 24 hours for appointments to show, even though I had a text to confirm it had already been booked, yesterday!

If it's not there then, will message back

 

Cheers

baldy
