Loss of 100 meg

on ‎11-08-2021 11:29

Loss of 100 meg speed

19 minutes ago

Had a lot of T3 time-out's over the last months, they seemed to have settled down over the last few few to maybe just once or twice a day, but my speed has more than halved to around 30 to 40 meg as opposed to the 100meg I was constantly getting , did nothing to router and wiring while the T3 time-out's were a issue, maybe 7 to 8 times a day at their peak, just left it settle down , but this speed issue is bugging me, I know the ISP contracts say "speeds up to " and they do no guarantee them but ever since it became a 100meg connection 2 yrs ago it stayed at 90/100 meg, checked my local area via virgin media site ,no problem in my area they say,checked the wiring connections and all seem sound,

got a Super Hub 2 ,

Is that wired or wireless speed?

(I'm a little concerned about the N/A's in the hub stats - that could indicate a channel problem!)

I think it would be a good idea to try a full reset to factory settings a this can help - definitely worth a shot!

Make sure you can read all the default passwords on the base of the Hub before you do this

Unplug all ethernet cables

With the power on and the co-ax connected; press and hold the reset switch with a paperclip or sim removal tool for at least 60 seconds.

Allow 10 minutes to reboot, reset and stabilise

A few T3's is not a problem - there are non showing in the T error table.

I note that one of you down channels is not "locked on" - that's not right. I would do a 60-second pinhole reset and then take a look whether all 8 are then locked on

Do that first and then we can look at speeds when you have 8 down channels

Hi Steve,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us in our community and welcome back, sorry to hear you aren't getting the your expected and experiencing time outs, I have had a look at your account using the details we have for you and can see you have already spoken to us.

 

It does look like there are some SNR issues which may be caused by loose connections, can you try a pin reset on the Router just to rule out a software issue, 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.
