Having to reset router nearly every week

[EdiTWD]

I've been with Virgin for about 4 months and at the start it was fine no issues then about 2 months in I constantly get these lag spikes where I basically lose Internet connection despite it indicating I'm connected. Games wouldn't work and websites wouldn't load only solution they had was reset the router but now it's happening every week and I'm forced to reset my router every time. 

Anyone else have this issue?

Local Fault ?

Call the automated number 0800 561 0061 to see if there is fault in your street.

Hub Signal Level Checks

Via http://192.168.0.1/ connect to the Hub in Router mode, do not login in, scroll down to "Check router status"     Use http://192.168.100.1/ for a Hub in Modem mode

Using the Hub's "Check router status" tabs check the Downstream and Upstream power levels are in spec.

( If already logged in to the Hub menu, the same info is available at : Advanced settings >>> Tools >>> Network status )

Downstream Power Levels of -7 to +7 dBmV are preferred, +10dBmV is the max acceptable, with a SNR of 33dB or higher across all DOCSIS 3.0 channels. Rising error counts across many channels is a current service noise fault.

Upstream Power Levels of 35 to 49 dBmV are preferred, with QAM 64 Modulation mode across all four to six DOCSIS 3.0 channels.  Seeing QAM 32/16/QPSK is a current service noise fault.  Seeing less than four DOCSIS 3.0 channels is usually a signal level fault.
