You have had multi tech visits and VM can see no issues. In your last thread you said you had a pc connected on ethernet and that had the same issue.

So... can we look at ethernet connections in more detail.

Do you have a "modern" laptop you can use (or borrow) and connect it directly into the Hub on a NEW Cat6 ethernet cable and test to see if that has the same problem. Wondering if there may actually be 2 faults - wifi interfence and an issue with the PC and/or the ethernet cable.

Alternatively - do you have a wireless router you can connect and see if that sorts it? Or borrow one ? Or take a £40 punt (TP-Link Archer C6) on getting one - will almost certainly be better than the Hub router and its wifi capability - so in any event it will be "better" than what you have now

You havent said....  have you used multiple devices or just the same, one, PC, (and not gaming consoles) on multiple ethernet cables? 

If it's just the one PC,  it could have a faulty NIC card.  And I take it because you haven't said, them you havent tried it with the Hub in modem mode with your own wireless router?

it happens to everything that is connected to the wifi even at the same time

That data has a huge number of errors.  When was the hub last rebooted, as that zeroes the error counters?

Hi cashhhhhhhh,

 

Thanks for getting in touch, and a very warm welcome back to the Community Forum! I'm sorry that you're having this issue with your broadband services.

 

I've just checked your account using your Forum Details, and I can see that the Hub has an uptime of 51 days. Could you perform a pinhole reset on the Hub, and then monitor your connection further?

 

Kind regards,

Laurie
