Yesterday my broadband started intermittently dropping out.
Today failing completely
Been running Gigabit with 3x access points fine for 12 months
Done a router factory reset and now unable to log back into router on original SSID with all AP’s turned off, can sit and watch it cycle on Mac and keeps disconnecting.
Occasionally gets to login page then fails
Tried re connecting APs and they are saying internet not reacheable
Rang Virgin initially they said it was my Wifi coverage but then explained how my setup was fine they then decided a network fault and should rectify within 24 hrs if not ring them back.
But the fact I cannot get into the router would suggest more of a router issue surely?
Just want to reset SSID to previous so all my devices try recconnect to router with the AP’s turned off etc.
Any other suggestions? as I don’t believe it to be a network issue.

If this is still an issue try connecting via Ethernet - and see if you can reach the hub management pages at 192.168.0.01
Sometimes if a hub/wireless router is very busy trying to reconnect to a faulty broadband line it can be difficult to connect to, particularly over WiFi.
There are various other things to try.
Do you actually see the original SSID being broadcast? It's there in the scanned AP network names on you device, or with an analyser app?
Do you get an IP address at the device? - usually shown in the network settings
Can you ping the hub?
