Keep dropping connections (WiFi and Wired)

darren-w-gray
On our wavelength

Evening Everyone,

So - I am trying to understand where I am dropping both Wired and WiFi connections. I was originally having problems with my Hub3 (on it's own running router mode) dropping connections on the WiFi. I presumed it was the age of my route and the fact I was using a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ (so able to run on 802.11ax). 

Did my research, bought a TP-Link Archer AX50, thought it would solve things. It' only highlighted that I also have connection drops on my wired network as well. I have since tried every combination of

  • Modem Mode for the Hub3,
  • Router Mode with the AX50 in AP mode,
  • WiFi only running of one or the other (and 2.4 on one 5 on the other) 
  • I have checked the connections are tight

None of these seem to make a difference.

It happens probably once an hour to once every 2 hours when I am at home, any time of day or night (I work shifts, I can be waking up at 2am and it will do it) - I can be sure that i will be in the middle of a WiFi Calling call on my mobile and it will drop.

I wonder if anyone has any ideas?

Currently, using the Hub3 in Router Mode with WiFi off - AX50 in AP Mode with WiFi on; these are the 'runners and riders' based on what I think you like to see.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

So, having a technician take a look at things yesterday.

Nothing seems to have changed

Hi darren-w-gray thanks for getting back to us.

Sorry to hear the technician visit has not resolved your intermittent connection issue.  I can see that you're still liaising with my colleague Carley regarding this issue, so I am going to leave you in her very capable hands.  Do please keep us updated though.

Regards

Cheers Lee,

Appreciate the touching base. It reminded me to update my BQM after an area outage at the weekend - and gave me a chance to move over to Modem Mode (I only went back to Router mode for fault finding).

Will also post up to date tables shortly for Carley.

Hey darren-w-gray, thank you for reaching out and I'm sorry to see you are having some connection issues on a wire and WIFI connection.

How often has this been going on, and when do you find it most dropping on the WIFI or cable connection? 

I've also had a look at our end and everything is health wise with the levels and there is no outage / planned work.

How has it been since you've been in modem mode, have you seen any major differences? Thanks

Hi Matt,

Having left it a week or so, trying to hope it would settle, I am still seeing the dropouts across the connection.
It does not appear to be the router, I still have access within my network; but I have to turn off and on the wifi again on my phones to regain Wifi.

Hi @darren-w-gray

 

Does this happen with any other devices or just your phone?

 

Does this happen in multiple locations in your home?

 

Please pop back to us when you can.

Hi Vikki,

It does not happen as often as it was before the tech come out, but still happens.

It can happen when I am within a few foot and direct line of sight, as much as on the other floor of the house.

It happens to some of the devices on WiFi, but also noticeable on wired devices as well. Theee is no discernable patten though as not all the devices are active at the same time.
