Hello everyone
I am desperate for some help, as my WIFI has become pretty much unusable for the past 6 months. I really think I need an engineer out to look at this, but I wondered what you all thought.
I am constantly getting random disconnections, every few minutes, on all devices in the house - TVs, laptops, desktop computers.
WIFI strength has also become ridiculously poor - I'm having to connect to my phone's data to stream a TV show or play some music, as my broadband just can't handle any of it anymore.
I've been through all Virgin's help channels and nothing has solved it. I've performed a factory reset many times and it never helps. I'm getting nowhere!
Any help will be most appreciated.
Here's a recent log:

Does it happen on Ethernet connected devices? Please post up/downstream stats.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, it happens on Ethernet too.
I'm not sure if this is the correct Downstream/Upstream info:

Thank you lotharmat. Hope they do pick it up as their phone help just isn't helping!
I will give that a go this morning and post it here. Thank you for the link. 🙂

I think I've set that up now. So, I guess it will just monitor my usage throughout the day? And a bit later, I can just create one of those graphs?

Hello again
Here's my graph, not sure if I've given it enough time? How is it looking?
Been getting dropouts all day today as per usual. So frustrating!
Cheers
