Video Call “Hell”

cocoland
Tuning in

Since starting to work from home a month ago, on every daily video call, people struggle to hear/see me and sometimes I just drop out of the call entirely. Internet is horrific for video calls, but works fine otherwise (eg browsing, streaming etc). 

Before I switch provider, has anyone encountered this and is it a solvable problem?

Your Pre & Post RS Error counts are quite high.

In an ideal world they would be at zero and stay there. To zero them can you reboot the Hub using this method and then keep an eye on the counts.

Switch the Hub off using the small switch on the rear of the Hub next to the power cord and pull the PSU plug from the wall socket.

Give it a good 5 minutes put the plug back in and switch the Hub back on.

Allow the Hub a few minutes to fully restart then check the counts again in an hour or so.

Hi @MikeRobbo

Thanks for taking a look at this - is there a next step that I should take now?

Thanks for the post Cocoland and sorry for the delay in response.

 

How are things at the moment? Is this through wired as well as WiFi?

 

Thanks, Emily.

Hello, wired is fine, it’s WiFi that has the issues.

Used wired connections or get your self some decent gigabit enabled Wi-Fi broadcast equipment.

I had this problem with Virgin throughout lockdown. They could not resolve it and I switch to BT. ZERO problems now on BT fibre 900.
