Hub 4 Losing Internet Connection Every Night

Joining in

I have been having this ongoing problem for around a month whereby, the internet connection on my Hub 4 drops every night between 22:00 - 00:00. All Wired and wireless connections are dropped with a slow flashing white light on the Hub. Sometimes power cycling the hub and the connection is restored within half an hour other times it doesn't come back online until the following day. 

Any advice on troubleshooting this further is appreciated.

Regards

Andrew

First thing is to set up a BQM to record these events as data for VM. Also check if there is ongoing work at your location. 

Try in 2 places

1) Try the “check service,”Area status webpage (https://www.virginmedia.com/help/service-status)
2) Then also Try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues and fix estimates, down to street cab/ postcode level.

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
