A couple of times over the past year we have had a problem where the wifi would drop from our devices unless we were in the same room as the router. Someone kindly gave me directions to check the router status and post the figures, a problem was identified and an engineer came out to sort it.
Well - the same thing has been happening for the past few weeks - no devices are connecting unless we are in the living room - so I am going to post the figures again ad hopefully someone wiser than me can see if there is a problem! Here goes:

Five of your downstream levels are too low, unless there is an area fault you will need a technician's visit to rectify.
Check with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 If you have a VM landline 150 this goes down to post code level. You could also try the web page http://www.virginmedia.com/servicechecker although this only covers large outages.
VM will not dispatch any technicians while an area fault exists.
If no faults found:
Call Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post.

Thank you Tudor, I have checked the website at the postcode level and it says there are no faults reported.
If anyone knows how to flag my post to a staff member, I would be grateful.
Thank you 😊
