Wi-Fi issues on some devices

[ASingh1]

Hello.

I've got a weird problem, involving the Superhub 3. I'm on the M350 package.

Sometimes some of my devices just stop working when on the Wifi. They will be connected but just won't do anything. 

For example, my laptop will say connected and have full bars but then just won't load a page and will error. I've also had this happen with my iPhone 12 Pro, where it's connected but nothing works.
Furthermore, my Ps5 will randomly drop connection while playing and log me out, and it picks up the SSID, but when I do a test on the ps5. Sometimes it fails when trying to pick up the ip address, and others it failed when trying to connect.

I also received an iPad 9 from eBay today, and that's also been doing it, but then on the other hand half the other wifi devices in the house are working fine.

im not sure what to make of this and have a feeling it could be a router issue as this issue only started a few weeks ago and was working before.

Thanks

Hello,

I have looked at what it says.

The Virgin Media hub has been in the same spot for years and never had a problem, only started recently. It is in front of a TV but nothing else near it.

Is there a chance of trying the SH4/5? I am understanding I only have A M350 bundle but gaming wise the SH3 is bad in terms of latency etc. and would like to see if a new hub will fix the issue.

Otherwise, If you can add the Wifi Max pod to my contract without any additional charges through the remainder of my Volt bundle contract, then yes can I have it added on please.

Thank you

Hello,

I've further tried to test the wifi.
So sometimes I can be home alone and still struggle for the wifi to work even though I have full bars of wifi connection.

today I stood in the hallway of the house beneath the router and it did not work even though it was connected. In settings on my phone it will say "no internet connection" while being on full strength.

When it does work, i can get a strong 200mbps+ on speedtest meaning the speed isn't being hindered. 

I highly doubt this is an issue about distance to the router as like I said before, I've never had an issue and been able to play games absolutely fine and connect fine. I understand everything is clear on your end but I'd like to test a new router first before using a wifi booster as never needed one before in 5+ years. 

I would be okay with another SH3 if it is not possible to get anything newer.

Thanks

We would need to review the account to understand upgrade options available and your eligibility for the Pod's. 

To do this, I will pop you over a private message and we can go from there. This will be available via the purple envelope on the top right of this page.

I can't get into my hub settings... unable to load page 😔

Hi there @Fitzari 

Thank you so much for your post and welcome back to the forums, it's great to have you here. 

Can I ask what happens when you try to access the setting page?

The problem has gotten worse over the last 2months...we haven't really had a problem for over 3 years? Every device has connection issues now, , I have the Hub 3.0 ,

use modem mode and get a better router with 1Gb ports

You need to use 192.168.0.1 to access the settings page in hub mode.   192.168.100.1 only works if you are in modem mode using a third party router.
