For the last couple of months my VM Hub is randomly disconnecting and come back online after a 1-2 minutes. I have a 100 MBPS connection and it is generally stable. The disconnection generally happens in the afternoon.  I have to switch mobile hotspot when I attend important online meetings due to poor reliability of VM connection. Any help to resolve this issue?

Thank you

Is it just disconnecting on wifi devices or do those connected on ethernet cables do so at the same time?

This to help ascertain whether you have a VM network connection issue or just a wifi one.

What are the various lights on the Hub doing when disconnects happen?

Do wired connections also drop?

All my devices are connected via WIFI (no wired connection). All connected devices disconnect for a short period.

Go get a better wireless router with 1Gb ports and use the hub in modem mode.

I have exactly the same issue - WiFi drops out for a couple of minutes, about once an hour. Then it comes back

Ethernet devices are unaffected so I'm certain it's the hub.

"get another hub" is not a credible option. I've had perfectly ok WiFi for seven years in this house before I switched to Virgin. It's not necessary to make an additional purchase in order to use the service I'm paying for.

Here is my network log:

It seems something has changed with VM BB service recently as many people have experienced similar disconnection issue with the router.

Is there a solution to this problem (e.g settings on the router) instead of buying another router?
