My network seems to suffer from occasional dropouts when either there is no connectivity or greatly reduced speed.  These last a few minutes then all sorts itself out. Below are the Upstream and Downstream data from the hub.  I don’t have a speed test because by the time I from what I’m doing and reach my wired PC it’s often sorted out, but it is definitely an annoyance.  Happens every couple of days.

Looks like noise on the circuit, as you should have zero PostRS errors. 

You could try a factory reset on the Hub as below;

Remove any ethernet cables from the Hub and hold the pinhole reset switch for 60 seconds. Do NOT reboot the Hub, just let it do it's thing. Note you will need the passwords from the bottom of the Hub afterwards, so make sure they are legible.

Note this will reset the Hub to "out of the box" and will remove any custom settings you may have made.

Also consider a BQM as this will record the state of your incoming circuit   www.thinkbroadband.com/ping

Hello BrynClarke

Thanks for your post and sorry to hear about the above issue

Have you been able to get this sorted yet?

Please ignore it if you dont require any assistance

Sorry been too busy to look at this- will maybe have time next week.  No private message apparently received but thanks for offer of help - I may take you up on it if factory reset fails to resolve

[Beth_G]

It's no problem at all BrynClarke,

I can see that my colleague Gareth has definitely sent you over a PM - can you not see this in the purple envelope folder at the top right corner of your screen?

Kind regards

[BrynClarke]

No PM - using Safari on iPhone6s, top message (most recent?) was 21/11/21, Congrats from mod team.  I’ll try logging in on my PC in next day or so.  Also planning to try factory reset of hub this coming Friday 

[BrynClarke]

Same on PC - most recent message is 20/11/21.  I suspect there may be an issue with my Community account? Or did you mean some kind of private message other than within the Community messages?

[BrynClarke]

If I try to open the most recent message (210/11/21) on either iPhone or Windows 10 PC,  I get message "Authentication failed for the action you are trying to do. This failure could be due to your browser not supporting JavaScript, JavaScript not being enabled, or trying to use the action URL directly in the browser address bar instead of clicking the link on the page. " so I think there must be a problem with my account/message system.  JaveScript is enabled on Safari on my iPhone

Hi BrynClarke,
Thank you for reaching back out to us in our community and welcome back, sorry to see you weren't able to join us in a private chat, I have been able to locate your account with the details we have for you and wasn't able to see any issues at all, all levels at present look normal, what I can see though is that your Router hasn't been rebooted for 49 days, Can you please try a pin reset on the Router just to rule out a software issue and also refresh the router, first check all the internal connections are hand tight then push a pin/ paper clip in the back of the Router where it says reset, push in until you feel it press then hold in for a timed 1 Minute, do not reboot during or after and allow 15 Minutes to settle afterwards.

Regards

Paul.

OK have factory reset Hub 3 as per above instructions, am now up and running again.  No PostRS errors as yet - will look at the status tomorrow and post back.  Many thanks for the help

Bryn

PS can I set up a Broadband Quality Monitor if the hub is in modem mode?
