Intermittent packet loss and disconnects

AdamT3
Tuning in

Hi,

ive been experiencing intermittent packet loss and then eventually disconnecting on all devices on my network, ive been told many times to reset/reboot the hub i have and quite frankly if a piece of electronics requires that many resets to work its faulty.

i have a think broadband monitor setup from ages ago and you can clearly see large spikes 

i recently tried to get help through the webchat service to be told "they have sent strong signals to my hub so if i turn it off wait 10 mins and turn it back on it should be fixed" somehow they knew this would fix a tempermental issues, i said i didnt want to do it as ive had this same advise before.

i actually started believing that maybe the fault was my equipment so changed the switch i was using and requested a new coax cable from you to replace the old one ive had for years. and again it continues to happen

i have a hub 4 and the network switch is not a problem as this issue was happening before the switch was installed and it happens on wifi too
