Internet drops out several times a day

[tompullinger79]

My internet drops out numerous times a day from midday onwards, until approx 3pm. This happens with both wireless & wired connections. I have already done the following -

• checked service status for my area online - No service faults detected.
• rebooted router - have done this plenty of times. It takes over 30 mins for the internet to come back on & then it will continue to drop out.

The internet dropping out is frustrating when trying to work from home. 

Can I please have a resolution ASAP.

Thanks

Tom

Can you do this....
______________

Post up your Hub/network connection details and someone will check to see if there is a problem there.  In your browser’s URL box type in http://192.168.0.1  (or http://192.168.100.1 - if in modem mode) and hit return. On the first page up [there should be no need to login if you have done so before unless you have the New Hub4 when you do] click on the “router status” icon/text at bottom-middle of first page up and then copy/paste as “Formatted Text” (not images) 3 FULL sets of data onto here – 2 pages from the Downstream, 2 from the Upstream, & the Network Logs page. Don't worry too much about the formatting it can be easily read & DON’T include personal data or MAC addresses - blank them out - if you copy/paste the data, the board software will do this for you (you may need to click the "submit" button again.

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.

Unfortunately it’s not recognising my settings password when trying to login.

Are yo using the settings password and not the wifi password - try both.

Then if you are trying on a phone - try it on a laptop or computer. If you are trying on wifi do it via an ethernet cable connection. - or vica versa.

Try different browsers.

If all of that fails then a pinhole reset of the Hub is the last resort

Hi John,

I’m now looking at my router settings, however there is nowhere we’re it says “Router status”.

thanks

What Hub model is it?

Hub3's its at the bottom/middle of the first page (scroll down it may be out of view)

You have logged in previously and changed the passwords (as recommended - haven't you?). If not you need to login and do so, then save and log out and do it again.

On Superhubs its at the top right of the first page - like mine
