SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync

[stewartrea]

Hi  Guys

Hope someone can point me in the right direction, I have this problem of frequent disconnections on both wi-fi and ethernet, my home network seems stable enough its just the internet connection that seems to drop off at random time, the frequency of this happening has seemed to increase over the last few week. I have  spoken to support and all I have received is to reset the hub, this doesn't seem to work,  I have read here I may need an engineer, but the support team don't seem want to send anyone, 

I enclose an extract from the error log it seems similar to other I see on here. any advise would be most welcome 

regards 

Stewart

Thanks for setting the BQM up @stewartrea

Please leave this running for upto 48 hours so we can gather enough data and take it from there 🙂

Cheers

Hi Guys hope all are well

I posted this a few days ago and it was suggested  "Sit tight for one of the VM forum team to come back" is anyone sure how long this takes? I will say though things have been better, they are not right yet, still having annoying outages for a few seconds and stuff 

regards Stewart

[Serena_C · Accepted solution]

Hi Stewart,

Sorry to see that you are still experiencing these frequent outages, I have booked an engineer appointment for you to get this issue resolved.

I will send you a private message with the details of your engineer appointment and to confirm your address, please look out for the purple envelope in the top right corner.

Best wishes,

Serena

Hi fellow forum members

Firstly I would like to thank the forum team for arranging the visit of an engineer,

I was also encouraged that the engineer announced he had a found a problem in the street cabinet, and whilst monitoring the connection things seemed to improve, however here I am almost a week after it seems my error logs have returned as have my disconnections from the network.

I am still looking for advise please 

I include the latest BQM and also my latest error log

Hi @stewartrea,

Thanks for popping back with an update. I am sorry to hear the issue seems to have crept back up. 

Have you tried another factory reset to see if this makes any difference following the visit?

[stewartrea]

Hi Thanks, Ayisha for your reply, 

we did a full factory reset before the engineer left, that was the last thing he did, I will do it again to see what happens 

[Ayisha_B]

Hi @stewartrea

Please keep us posted.

Cheers

[stewartrea]

Hi Guys 

Well it looks like we are back at the beginning of this thread, I have posted my latest error log and I have a day when I have had numerous wi-fi dropouts, anybody got any further ideas, please 🤔

Drops are clearly visible - Looks like a Tech visit is needed!

Hi stewartrea, 

Thanks for coming back to us with the BQM and your logs. 

I would like to arrange for an engineer to come to take a look at this for you. As you have already had one in the last 30 days, this will be upgraded to a principle technician instead. They will look at the internal cabling, splitters and equipment as well as checking the box outside and the cabinet. 

I just need to confirm the address to ensure we are booking the visit on the correct account. 

I have sent you a private message regarding this. Just click on the little plum envelope at the top right hand side of the page to access your inbox.

Thanks,
