Intermittent Broadband - No Ranging Response received

wdmullen
Tuning in

I get dropped packets from a wired connection generally after 3pm every day.  It's a real nightmare as most of us I need to do video calls - and the connection is virtually unusable. The lost packets correlate with critical errors I'm getting on the Hub, i.e "No Ranging Response received". I run network tests and everything is fine. I've call VM before and told to do a Factory Reset which I've done, but didn't fix it...

Down power levels are way too low. may need a Tech visit to rectify

Minimum should be -6dBmV. Is there an attenuator on the coax cable - if so try removing it and see what happens.

I do not work for VM. My services: HD TV on VIP (+ Sky Sports & Movies & BT sport), x3 V6 boxes (1 wired, 2 on WiFi) Hub5 in modem mode with Apple Airport Extreme Router +2 Airport Express's & TP-Link Archer C64 WAP. On Volt 350Mbps, Talk Anytime Phone, x2 Mobile SIM only iPhones.

Thank you for suggestion. There's a lot to unplumb to get to the attenuator, so I'll provide the BQM in the first instance, and then hoping that VM engineer will intervene! Many thanks again, Will.

Can you post a link to the Live BQM?

CLick 'SHare Live Graph' (under the graph)

Then paste the 'Direct Link' into here!
