No ranging response

My hun constantly kicks everything offline and the critical error messages say no ranging response received.

Meanwhile, are the issues only evident on wifi connections or do you see them at the same times on devices connected on ethernet cables? If you don't know, can you check to help diagnose whether it is just a wifi issue or it could be network connection/Hub related?

What Hub model is it? What are the various Hub lights showing/doing when this happens?

Upstream bonded channels

 

It’s mainly just WiFi but almost all the connections we use are WiFi.

Partial set of stats (missing 3 down channels data - and the T error table) but you need to start from a blank sheet so do this....

Switch the Hub off and unplug it from the mains supply for five minutes. Whilst it's off, do a quick check that all of your coax cable connections are in nice and "finger" tight - at the Hub and wall box and also at any connectors etc. Ensure there are no “unterminated cable loose ends. Disconnect all the connections and reconnect to be sure. Also check that the internal wiring is ok with no kinking or chaffing, check that all looks good with the outside cabling and wall box (no “staples, etc.,) piercing the cables. Then switch the Hub back on and leave ~5 minutes

When all done, check back in the settings and ensure that the RS error counts and T3 errors have all reset to 0. Then check every hour or so to see if they start reappearing - they shouldn't. If they do (particularly the postRS and T3 ones) you have a problem (noise) that only a Tech visit will sort.

Thanks will do we’ve had engineers out previously with the same issue and Ive asked if the coax connection they put into the house could be any longer as it’s only 1meter coming into the house behind a radiator so it’s got to be stretched to max to get the hub positioned upright atall. 

Hi there @Katyhopes, thanks for your post.

I'm sorry to see you are having this ranging response error, jbrennand has given some good advice for this. How is everything looking for you after following this?

If you need any further help please let me know.

Regards

Nathan
