Hub 5 Keeps Randomly Dropping

Covad1983

on ‎14-03-2023 21:50

Virgin Media upgraded my wifi router to the Hub 5 but now I lost connection roughly every hour for roughly 2mins.  It’s incredibly annoying.

I have Amazon Eero mesh wifi set-up (which was working fine on Hub 4) but I don’t think that the problem as other hardware connected to the Hub also loses connection.  The Hub 5 has wifi disabled so it’s effectively in modem mode (but not actually in modem mode as that messed things up for some reason).

Virgin support on the phone have been dismissive and unhelpful, requesting me to hard reset the router and wait 24 hours but I’ve done this and it’s still a problem.  

Anyone any other suggestions on how to diagnose the problem rather than just resetting the router.

I’m really fed-up.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

No, all I was told was to reset the router and then when that failed she said I needed an engineer to visit.  

I don’t understand why you can’t be monitoring this yourselves and identifying the issue remotely.

Hi Covad1983,

Thanks for getting back to us.

We cover a huge network, and some issues can be highly localised or even unique to individual customers. The issue could be due to damage to internal or external cabling and so if customers don't notify us, we are unable to investigate and offer further support.

We can see that you have had your visit, how did it go?

Our engineer was very friendly and changed a number of pieces of kit.

 

Unfortunately, the problem persists. I’m very fed up you’re still unable to fix this.  What do you propose are the next steps,

Why not try the eero's with the Hub in modem mode again. It may just have not been set up in the correct sequence - this one......
________________________
Set the first eero unit to have its WAN port set to be in.. Dynamic/Automatic IP or DHCP (& Nat) mode, Then, disconnect all cables from all eero's units and switch them off and unplug them.

Then, put the VM Hub into modem mode and wait for the set up to complete and light to go "steady white"

Once it’s in modem mode, the VM hub “MUST” then be powered off. Switch your first eero back on on and make sure it’s fully initialised (leave 5 min) and then put in the Cat6a ethernet cable from its WAN port to the VM hub - use its 2.5 GB port for that

NOW… power up the VM hub and wait 5-10 minutes for The Hub to initialise and and you should get a connection. Use the recommended App to connect the other eero units to the first one.

This order only needs to be done the first time you connect the eero's router to the VM hub.

Thank you for your suggestion and taking the time to post.

 

im not sure that’s the solution as other devices plugged into the hub also drop at the same time, for example, Sky TV.  So I’m presuming that as everything drops, then it’s down to the hub or the connection.

 

thanks again though.

Could you please provide some stats so we can look at the condition of your circuit. 

How to get stats from a VM hub (no need to logon to the hub)

Open a web browser and go to 192.168.0.1 router mode or 192.168.100.1 modem mode

  • Click on the “> Check router status” button
  • Click on the “Downstream” tab, copy the text and paste into your reply, do not take a screen shot
  • Click on the “Upstream” tab, copy the text and paste into your reply
  • Click on the “Networking” tab, copy the text and paste into your reply.
    • Do NOT post photos or screen shots they will be rejected as they contain MAC addresses. The board software will automatically change MAC addresses to **:** if done as above.

Hi there @Covad1983 

 

I'm so sorry to hear that these issues have continued, I have had a look on our side and I can see there are a few issues that I do think would require another visit from an engineer to best resolve.

 

I will pop you a PM now so we can arrange this, please keep an eye out for the purple envelope in the top right corner of your screen alerting you to a new message.
