New Hub 4 keeps disconnecting

declan_hoare_nt
On our wavelength

Just received new Hub 4 about a week ago. It is appallingly problematic. Since being fitted it has consistently dropped out on both wi-fi and on cabled connections. All devices connecting to the Hub 4 have had loads of problems - mobiles, desktop PC (ethernet connected), laptops (wi-fi connected), TV connected though powerline devices, virgin TV online app services e.g. BBC iPlayer, YouTube, netflix, amazon prime etc. and PlayStation.

Held for ages trying to get through by phone so thought I would try here. From other people having problems I assume you need BQM and router logs - see below

My BQM  - Ignore the 100% packet loss, this was where we have had the router turned off to reduce its temperature. By the way its no better after its been off overnight - starts dropping out immediately.

Interestingly the router became unresponsive a number of times when trying to login and download the logs.

And by the way I have tried all the usual suggested fixes:

  • Rebooting
  • Factory reset
  • Checked all connections
  • Tried different ethernet cables
  • etc
  • etc
  • etc

Repeatedly

And this is what I am getting every five minutes on my wired connection

No Internet

Try:

  • Checking the network cables, modem and router
  • Reconnecting to Wi-Fi
  • Running Windows Network Diagnostics

The downstream power levels are too low - is there an attenuator fitted to the coax going into the hub?

No not as far as i can see looks like a straight coax from the wall socket to the hub 😥

In that case you'll need VM Staff to book a technician!

Also, set up a 'Broadband Quality Monitor'. This will monitor the state of your connection and record any network dropouts etc - You can do this at ThinkBroadband (https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality)

I'll get on the phone to virgin again see if i can get a hold of an engineer
