Hub3 - wifi keeps going down

Got hub3. Since 5pm yesterday, Internet keeps going down / being really intermittent and no amount of rebooting is helping. What should I do?

Are connections on ethernet cables going down at the same time as the wifi ones?

What are the various Hub lights showing/doing when this happens?

Have you checked first for “known network faults” As well as trying the “check service,” Area status webpage" (link at top right of this forum), 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 down to postcode level.

I do not work for VM. My services: HD TV on VIP (+ Sky Sports & Movies & BT sport), x3 V6 boxes (1 wired, 2 on WiFi) Hub5 in modem mode with Apple Airport Extreme Router +2 Airport Express's & TP-Link Archer C64 WAP. On Volt 350Mbps, Talk Anytime Phone, x2 Mobile SIM only iPhones.

Checked this. Lights are just the white line at the bottom. Not sure how to check ethernet

If the base power light stays solid white and not flashing green - it implies its just a wifi issue and not a VM network connection issue.

Plug a Cat5e (or better) ethernet cable into one of the Hub posts and the other end into a laptop/computer. Then run a speedtest on it.
