Post RS errors and was unable to stream a TV show earlier that usually plays okay. 

Think broadband QM showing some noise on line.

192.168.0.1 says issue with WiFi but virgin media website says it's fine.

Sorry for the multiple posts I was having issues creating them.

Is there anything I can try doing to resolve these?

I wanted to check with the experts on here first as have not had best experience with support over the telephone. 

 

Many Thanks,

Hannah

Should have mentioned it's hub 3 on 100mb package. 

Usually maximum 4 devices connected normally 1-3 (2 smartphones and a TV) on this occasion there was a tablet and 3rd smartphone using would this be enough to push it over?

BQM looks finr - Hub data ok - the RS errors may be historic build up so can you do as below..

Also, are the issues only evident on wifi connections or do you see them at the same times on devices connected on ethernet cables? If you don't know, can you check to help diagnose whether it is just a wifi issue or it could be network connection related?

What are the various Hub lights showing/doing when this happens?
_________________________________________________________

Switch the Hub off and unplug it from the mains supply for five minutes. Whilst it's off, do a quick check that all of your coax cable connections are in nice and "finger" tight - at the Hub and wall box and also at any connectors etc. Ensure there are no “unterminated cable loose ends. Disconnect all the connections and reconnect to be sure. Also check that the internal wiring is ok with no kinking or chaffing, check that all looks good with the outside cabling and wall box (no “staples, etc.,) piercing the cables.. Then switch the Hub back on and leave ~5 minutes

When all done, check back in the settings and ensure that the RS error counts and T3 errors have all reset to 0. Then check every hour or so to see if they start reappearing - they shouldn't. If they do (particularly the postRS and T3 ones) you have a problem (noise) that only a Tech visit will sort.

BQM is a bit busy at peak times but your PostRS errors should be zero. Something to keep an eye on. 
Also do not upgrade your speed, as 100mb is fine for your devices, and it will make no difference to the state of your incoming circuit.

Good Afternoon @HGP, thanks for your post

Are you able to provide us with an update on intermittent slow speeds?

There doesn't appear to be any outages currently showing in the local area.

Do you experience issues on Wi-Fi connections only, or is the replicated on Ethernet connections also?

Kindest regards,

David_Bn
