Router keeps Dropping connection , Only 1 upstream channel @ 57 power.

[Gazhuddersfield]

Hi.

Wonder if anyone can help with this.

I have done all the regular stuff including calling up .

Router is just dying intermittantly.

Checking router status reveals only 1 channel working for upstream with power levels at 57 dbmv.

Check for local faults on 0800 561 0061. If nothing then call it in as a fault.

Hi Cardiffman

Thanks for the reply.

I have been on the phone with virgin faults but she said she couldnt do anything .

There are no announced faults in the area and this has been happening for around a week.

Does the image I postod look like a fault to you?

Virgin Media do not appear to detect these very obvious platform issues as alerts than need field repairs.

Thank you Client62 for the reply.

Without wanting to sound like Karen ..

It has got to the point that it resets itself everyday sometimes more than once but the worst part is I have some cameras that use the Wifi to secure the house.

So frustrating . All I want is an engineer to come take a look and fix it. I have restarted ,rebooted ,reset and still the same .

I have made the phone calls . I have done the online checks .

Pretty much guaranteed when midnight comes it will loose connection and restart once or twice.

The network log is all Critical notes.

The upstream doesnt look too good .

I am not an expert but that looks like a lot of errors.

Power level is also very high, indicates cable/cabinet fault, you need a technician’s visit to rectify unless there is an area fault.

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 status, but this is not recommended as it only covers issues that affect a very large number of customers.

VM will not dispatch any technicians while an area fault exists.

If no area faults found:

The primary place to report faults or for service requests is 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.

Hi Gaz. You are missing upstream channels and the one displaying has power levels that are far too high. Post the other stats if you want.

Channel 3 downstream has loads of post RS errors which is also a problem.

Call it all in as a fault and good luck.
