slow wi fi and constant disconnects SHUB 2

On our wavelength

As above super hub 2 that's quite a few  years old.

Slow wifi on on Sony smart tv constantly buffering and loseing connection. Hub is uninterrupted and just a few meters away Im  having to rest continually. Mobile phones also lose connection regularly. Tv is becoming unwatchable as I keep having to disconect the tv and reset that.

Tested wi fi speed on phone after resetting hub and download speed was less than 2mbs Up load was 9mbs on a 100mbs package. On desktop windows computer I get  70mbs through powerline adaptor which may slow it a little.  Service status checked and run the remote chcks that say all is ok. Any advice appreciated.

Stats look ok - the RS errors are difficult to see without formatting but look to be ~300/channel - mine have about that - try the reset counter button and see how they build up.


But the logs are "iffy" - I am no logs expert someone else needs to comment - but stats showing no "timeouts" - logs showing it on 1970 dates.

Can you set up a BQM as per below

If you haven’t already, set up a free and secure “Broadband Quality Monitor” to continually monitor the state of your connection and record any true network dropouts , latency issues, packet drops, etc - it will thus allow you to differentiate between those and simple wifi dropouts. It does it 24/7/365 and it keeps a visual record of any/all of your network disconnections, useful data to have to match to the Network logs (in your Hub settings) and also in discussions with VM - note it will take a few hours to start seeing a sensible picture - post up the “link” to the “share live graph” (as per instructions on the TB website) when it starts to develop.

Can you do this first.

Post up your Hub/network connection details and someone will check to see if there is a problem there.  In your browser’s URL box type in http://192.168.0.1  (or http://192.168.100.1 - if in modem mode) and hit return. On the first page up - dont log in - click on the “router status” icon/text at the top right of the login page and then copy/paste as “Formatted Text” (not images) 3 FULL sets of data onto here the Downstream, the Upstream, & the Network Logs page. Don't worry too much about the formatting it can be easily read & DON’T include personal data or MAC addresses - blank them out - if you copy/paste the data, the board software will do this for you (you may need to click the "submit" button again.

I do not work for VM. My services: HD TV on VIP (+ Sky Sports & Movies & BT sport), x3 V6 boxes (1 wired, 2 on WiFi) Hub5 in modem mode with Apple Airport Extreme Router +2 Airport Express's & TP-Link Archer C64 WAP. On Volt 350Mbps, Talk Anytime Phone, x2 Mobile SIM only iPhones.

Thank you John I will try the BQM as you suggest.

I did notice the router is set to modem mode according to the links you supplied in your first post. The first link didnt work so clicked on the second one and that one did. Not sure if this. would make any difference. Thanks for the info.

I am confused now 🙂

If its in modem mode, what is doing the routing? Or have you not got any?

Do you have your own router? If so which one?

What is connected to the Hub by ethernet cables?

And, where is the wifi signal coming from? What powerline adapter is it - does that have wifi

Just checked by signing in and itis set to router mode. It was the second link though that gave me access

For most customers (& me), the second link only works when in modem mode and the first when in normal router mode.... but hey ho... its a VM Hub - so who knows 🙂

Checked by signing in and hub is in Router mode. No idea why the second link worked and the firest didnt.

TPLINK adaptors with no wireless these work pretty well for me.. No extra wireless gear but been thinking it may be a way to improve coverage and reliability.
