Hub 5 drops connection

Tuning in

Just got the hub 5 and it constantly drops connection. 

I have reset and rebooted several times and nothing seems to fix the issue.

Try the reset again this way
_______________________

Note that a pinhole reset on a Hub3/4/5 can be a bit problematic - so do it (again) EXACTLY this way (not as the VM website says!).

Firstly, make sure the Hub's sticker/card with the two passwords on it is still there and legible If not – DON’T DO IT !

With the Hub switched "on", disconnect any ethernet connections (leave the co-ax connected) and then push in the “reset pin” with the end of a paperclip/thin nail/SIM tray “tool” or similar (bigger items like ball point pen ends may not press it in far enough) until you feel it at the “stop point” and hold it there firmly for a "timed" minimum of 60 seconds do NOT manually restart the Hub at any time. Leave it 10' or so to stabilise and then your passwords/passphrase for both the Hub settings and the Wifi networks will revert to the two printed on the Hub sticker on its base/side/card. The SSID and passwords will revert to those on the sticker too. Make sure you use the wifi one for devices connecting to the wifi and the settings/admin one to access the Hub.

You will need to reconnect your devices if you had changed the password, or just change the password back to your preferred one.
See if that sorts it

Thanks for your post on our Community Forums @John83, and welcome back to our Forums!

Can you please confirm how the services have performed since your most recent post?

I've been able to look into the local area, as well as your hub and there are no issues that appear to be flagged.

Kindest regards,

Hi John83 👋

Thank you for your reply. I am sorry you are still having issues with your service. 

I have taken a look and can see there are some issues with your upstream that require a tech.

I can get this booked in for you, I will pop you over a PM getting some details and we can go from there, just keep an eye out for the little envelope 📩

Thanks,

Zoie
