Internet Connection Issues

Hi, I have had VM installed for two years now. We signed to an 18 month contract last august and have had no issues until now. The past couple of weeks various devices have been disconnecting from the hub 3. Both phones unable to connect to wifi, Tivo box unable to use on demand services and nest disconnecting. Have used the 192.168.0.1 website to look at hub data. I have noticed that when others have done so they have had zero to minimum Post RS Errors in down stream however each row of mine has values in the thousands. Each time i have ran the VM connection tests it says no issues found, so haven't tried ringing yet as they will only do the same and tell me to turn the hub off and on again which i have done over the couple of weeks. I will post the downstream data below. If anybody has any suggestions to fix the issue please respond.

You say TiVo - is that correct or do you mean V6? The Tivo needs no connection to the Hub - it gets all its data via the co-ax - The V6 however, must be connected to the Hub on ethernet or wifi.

Can you switch the Hub off and unplug it for a few minutes and then start up. When done, check back in the settings and ensure that the RS error counts have all reset to 0. Then check every hour or two to see if they start reappearing - they shouldn't.

Also post the Upstream data tables and the network logs.

Also, in the meantime... If you haven’t already, set up a free and secure “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” (as per instructions on the TB website) when it starts to develop.

Hi aidan956

 

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community. I'm really sorry to hear of the broadband issues. 

 

I've ran a check on the system today and most of your downstream channels are out of spec.

 

This needs a tech so I'll PM you now to get the details

 

Kind regards,
