Hub 3 with M600 Broadband. Two devices connected via Cat5 and numerous devices via WiFi ay varioius times. When it is working the WiFi is brilliant. No issues. The wired connections are constant with good speed and no connection issues.
The issue is this. The WiFi will periodically drop out. Once a week or several times a day. It will eventually return. Open the router settings page when this happens and I either see that the WiFi channels have both been disabled. Enabling again sorts the issue until the next time. Or when logging into the settings, the connected devices logo takes an age to turn green then all is good again. Hard wired is constant and no pronlems presented. Ping tests when the system as a whole is working show good connectivity to various other locations with no packet loss etc.
I have now had three very exasperating calls to Tech Help. They run all the usual tests etc etc and no apparent issue. Yesterday I was told there were issues with the service in my area which might affect the WiFi output. It has been left to monitor for 24 hrs. I tried to explain that this is ongoing. I feel the Router itself may be failing. But they wont send a new one. The inference being that until it fails no go.
Can WAN and service issues cause the router to disable WiFi on a fairly frequent basis? Also when I have to reset the router settings it can take 3/4 attempts for the router to save any changes.
Any advice or knoweldge would be greatly appreciated.
