Frequent Disconnects

Hi, 

My Virgin media router is constantly losing connection and takes around 5 minutes to start working again. Frequency, varies but on average a couple of times per hour, each time it resets the system uptime clock.  There are daily T3 timeouts but not nearly as frequent as the loss of connection. 

I have already switched the router off for 30 mins to see if that helps but no joy.

No reported issues in the area.

Any help appreciated.

Hub stats look absolutely fine!

What happens to ethernet connected devices when the drops occur?

I'm wondering if it is purely a WiFi issue!

Hi lotharmat,  

It impacts all devices (most of my devices are wired).  

My Asus router (VM router is in modem mode) reports DHCP error each time in case that helps.

 

 

We're going to need to rule out your router (which could be on broken)

1, Try connecting your router to a different port on the hub
2. Try a different ethernet cable
3. Remove your router completely from the equation

If you are still getting the same issues after this; VM will need to investigate.
Also - Have a check on 0800 561 0061 to see if there are any local issues that could be impacting you!

Hi Natalie,  

Thanks for your message.

The problem seems to have rectified itself without any of the troubleshooting required.  

FYI this happened to me a couple of months ago as well and, again, lasted about 24 - 48 hours before righting itself. 

Best
