M500 broadband keeps losing connection

on ‎28-01-2021 11:23

Hi all
Could anyone help me I recently upgraded to virgin m500 broadband from m300 I am getting ok speeds at times but the issue I am having is it keeps losing connection and devices keep getting disconnecting at least 4/5 times a day ie my son is doing his a levels and it kept on dropping connection yesterday I have tried all the basics like turning the router on and off etc it used to happen on the m300 but it seems to happen even more since I upgraded. I have read posts on here with photos of router status and bqm monitor I can get them if anyone can help thanks in advance

Connect to the hub by clicking on this link http://192.168.0.1/  That should pull up the log in page for the hub.  But don't log in, just click on the link "Check router status"  That'll bring up a window with five tabs.  Open the Downstream tab.  Select all the text (Ctrl-A if using a keyboard), copy it (Ctrl-C), then paste it (Ctrl-V) into a reply here.  Post that, do the same for the Upstream and Network log.  You'll get an error message when you post the Network log, just click on "post" a second time.

Then we can check for any obvious problems with power, noise or error counts.

Is your son connecting by WiFi?  If so check what happens with an ethernet connection.
