Intermittent Connection with Varying Speed

mildenhall
Rising star

I have Gig1 broadband and phone and get a patchy connection in the morning with 60s ish disconnections, T3s, and also varying speed. I accept it might be something to with my hardware however please can someone check that my signal levels etc are up to scratch just as a process of elimination? Thanks! 🙂

They look fine - but you are missing a Table of errors for Up (T1-4) & Down (RS).

Any Network logs in there too ?

Also, If you haven’t already, set up a free, secure and “offlsite” - “Broadband Quality Monitor” to continually monitor the state of your connection and record any true network dropouts , latency issues, packet drops, etc - it will thus allow you to differentiate between those and simple wifi dropouts. It does it 24/7/365 and it keeps a visual record of any/all of your network disconnections, useful data to have to match to the Network logs (in your Hub settings) and also in discussions with VM - note it will take a few hours to start seeing a sensible picture - post up the “link” to the “share live graph”. Click the lower link (Share Live Graph) then click generate. Copy the text in the Direct Link box, beware, there may be more text than you can see. On here click the Link icon (2 links chain to the left of the camera icon) In the URL box paste the link you copied and then click OK

Hi mildenhall, 

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums. It's great having you on board with us in the Community. 

I'm sorry to hear that you are having an issue with your network. Checking our systems, I can see all is looking well with the Hub in terms of power and signal levels, uptime and time outs. There are no faults open that may be affecting you either. 

Can you expand on what sort of set up you have there? 

It may help to set up a broadband quality monitor here. Once you've done this, please post your live URL link so we can monitor things and we can go from there. 

Keep us posted 🙂 

Thanks,

Thank you both for your replies.

I am using a Hub4 in modem mode with a brand new Netgear Nighthawk AX11000. I have taken speed tests using a Cat6 cable via a 1gigabit managed switch box from my i7 Windows 11 ASUS laptop and i7 Dell Windows 10 laptop. I'll keep monitoring the situation.

My main concern is intermittent disconnects when I am live streaming seminars on Thursdays and Fridays. The speed is just acceptable at 600mbps however I am paying for 1gbps.

This is my BBQM : My Broadband Ping - Nighthawk

Any QoS set on your Router?  What does www.samknows.com/realspeed show with a wired test direct to the Hub ?  Can you test with Windows in "Safe Mode with Networking support"

Your BQM looks pretty perfect btw.
