Regular disconnections after Superhub 4 fireware update

Hi,

My broadband's suddenly started disconnecting around every 30 minutes or so since my Superhub 4's fireware was updated over 2 weeks ago, the same update which changed the modem mode light to a solid green.

The Superhub 4 is configured in Modem Mode, connected to a TP-Link Router. My desktop computer is connected to the router via ethernet and all other devices are connected via WiFi. The disconnections are experienced through both connections.

I've found that restarting both the router and Superhub 4 together will help avoid the disconnections happening as frequently for a short time, but within half a day it starts happening frequently again.

I don't really have any technical knowledge, so I'm unsure how to read any of the data provided by the router, but hopefully someone can help.

Set up a BQM, but won't be much to look at yet: https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality/share/f319743b4f34453e0009463b7cecfd6bce...

From the stats the Downstream Power levels are almost all below the preferred range.

I wonder if VM new firmware make the hub read power levers to make the hub go wrong so that so that they can be adjusted.

Your downstream is low but then it was low before the hub update so now its a problem...or is the firmware a problem and adjusting your levels will not fix a thing...
---------------------------------------------------------------

Is there anything that I can do about that?

The firmware was updated a while ago, somewhere from 2-4 weeks ago but can't remember exactly. At first it wasn't disconnecting as frequently, but it's continiously gotten worse and worse to where it's now every 30 minutes or so.

Is there anything I can do about the low power levels downstream or does an engineer need to do it?

engineer needs to do it.

Your BQM is red by the way

---------------------------------------------------------------

Ah, thank you. I'll try to get an engineer booked ASAP!

As for the BQM, I gave it another check and the IP address used for it is definitely correct with the modem on and all, so I'm not really sure how to fix that 🤔
