Need new router (contacting on behalf of my parents)

stoffle
On our wavelength

Hi.

My parents wifi (wireless) connection is really slow or is not even loading webpages at times. Even when in the same room as the router.

Their router is pretty old I think, here is a picture of it https://ibb.co/jHGgWTq and I think it needs replacing and or their connection tweaking.

I can give further details. My mum has told me that she can't get through to speak to anyone on the phone.

 

Thank you.

it'll be difficult to work through this for your mother if you've not got delegated authority on teh account..

the hub you posted a picture of is the Hub2ac.  Until about three months ago, VM were encouraging customers to swap these out for the Hub3 but there's currently a hardware shortage on the hub3, so they aren't swapping out hubs unless there's a proper fault.

that said, there are a few things that you can ask her to do before that gets in the way.. firstly, does she have any devices with an ethernet port that she can use to test with - i.e. is a wired connection any quicker / more stable?

next, it's worth posting up some details from the hub - browse to the hub on  http://192.168.0.1 - don't log in, click Router Status (top right of page) - copy/paste the tables from the Upstream, Downstream and Network Log tabs back to this thread - you'll need multiple posts for this, the info wont all fit into a single one..

Power levels look too high - you'd need an engineer to rectify this.

Your "parents" 😉 would need to be able to pass security via Private Message on here for an engineer to be despatched!

The down power levels are all out of spec (too high) probably will need a tech vistit to get them back in range.

A VM person should respond here in a day or two but they will only deal with the account holder - so you will need the full details.

Hi stoffle,

 

Thanks for posting on our community forums. We're sorry to see that your experiencing issues with our internet services and looking at your logs there are definitely some power level issues.

 

I have double checked from our end with the details your have provided form your community profile and can see that there is a downstream power level issue that we need to address.

 

As we will need to book a technician for this I am going to pop you over a private message to take some details from you.

 

Please click on the purple envelope to accept the chat.

 

Kind regards Jodi.
