I have an SH2. From day one it has always had a few RS errors. I was told by those in the know that its a "feature" of the way that the Hub makes its connection. They mount up with time.... I have just looked at mine and they are below (now reset to 0 🙂 )

I have never had any problems on my connection - so I just ignore it (I am in modem mode though)
What connection problems are you having?

What is the evidence for packet loss - have you got a BQM you can share with us?

Agree with John.  Historically SuperHub 2 does rack up a few PostRS errors without impacting performance, whereas the later Hub's should be zero.

Been running this Hub2AC for years, and have only recently had issues with packet loss.

I use a box internally to measure packetloss. and the fact that ive had lag and disconnects in games as a result. here is the post RS error log since my last post.17:0317:03

 

And while a few post RS errors over a long period of time is fine. The images you are seeing are from 13:30 today.....

The Post RS errors are the ones to worry about and they are increasing too much in the time period.

Check with Area faults on  0800 561 0061 or if you have a VM landline 150

If no faults found

Call Customer Services on 0345 454 1111 or if you have a VM landline 150 or wait a day or two for a VM staff member to get to your post.

Worth trying to see what VM say... but all I can add is that... the accumulating PostRS errors on my SH2 has never been a connection issue in the last few (>5) years. Connection has been fine in all that time.

You might want to setup a BQM over at https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality that'll show what's going on with your VM connection.  Post a LINK to a LIVE, SHARED graph here and we'll see what's happening.  Usually needs to run for 24 hours before we can draw reasonable conclusions, but the live graph will continuously update so you can post the link immediately.

If you try phoning in and asking about packet loss and errors, the offshore staff won't have a clue what you're talking about.
