Internet stops working once a day requiring a router reboot
Hi, I recently upgraded from volt500 to volt 1gig, which needed a modem change from hub3 to hub5. I use it in modem mode with my own router. Once a day now, the internet completely stops working, and I need to reboot the router by unplugging and replugging. After doing some searching, my 3.1 downstream channel is extremely weak. Channel ID Locked Status RxMER Data (dB) PLC Power (dBmV) Corrected errors (Active Profile) Uncorrectable errors (Active Profile) 159 Locked 32 -15.7 41903970 12674230 Can someone look into this?Internet keeps dropping off for a minute or so
Hello! My internet keeps dropping off throughout the day for a minute or so, both wired and wireless. Tried support and got nowhere. The issue only appeared or started occurring after I upgraded my internet package and got the superhub 5. Support noted that i have had 72 disconnects in the month of june but have been unable to resolve my very frustrating issue. Here are the info from the network log on my router.

Hub 5 Old SSID?
Hi, My old hub was recently replaced with a Hub 5. This is working OK but it is connecting to the old SSID and the new one is not listed on the available connections. It's showing the connection as VM1234nnn 2 where nnn is the old ID instead of VM1234new, which is the new number. When I try to access the Hub settings online it is rejecting my password despite already being logged on with this password. My mobile phone, tablet and laptop all connect to the new ID with no issues. When I try o connect to the hub settings using my mobile it again rejects the password, again while connected to the wifi using this password. It seems to be working OK but I would like it to be sorted and also be able to access my hub settings. Any ideas? Could it be a local setting on my PC?SYNC Timing Synchronization failure
So I have been having issues for the last year since I moved. Just constant network dropouts for a few minutes at a time. I'm quite easy-going so I hadn't really pushed the subject with VM. However, I am currently working remotely and it is causing me a lot of bother. I called VM support on 26/06/25 and was simply ignored in everything I tried to tell the chap on the phone and told that I need to trust him and that resetting the router for the 10th time this week will in fact be the solution to all my problems. Anyway, here we are still having issues. I do not know what steps to take to get real support and another call to the lovely offshore support team may just make me lose it. I can see some logs on my router and every time the dropouts happen the logs are the same. SYNC Timing Synchronization failure Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out 16 consecutive T3 timeouts while trying to range on upstream channel 0Factory restore, restores problems
Hello, I have a hub 5 with 2 extender pods, the pods are identifying as TV boxes and my dashboard in the connect app is showing 9 TV boxes, as it is allocating IP addresses to devices I don't use any more that I can't delete. Every time I do a reset it just downloads this rubbish configuration from VM's servers and breaks my WiFi again. Had an engineer and mentor out today who replaced my Hub 5 and of course it immediately populated itself with the same screwed up device list. I just want to start again and have my router and the extender pods showing, then slowly add devices that I do use. The engineers said they'd never seen anything like it and just took a pic of my wierd connect app appearance. I have turned off smart WiFi, removed Connect app, cleared cache, restarted phone and still a factory reset of the router drags a garbled mess in from the cloud and the WiFi test on the router says you have problems. I've just about had enough. Please helpHub5 smart mode
Hub5 insists on smart mode. I need 2.4g WiFi for old devices (ring 2chimer) which will not work in smart mode. All the app will not let me manage network when using two WiFi frequencies . I have to use pc to change anything. This is very frustrating. Had been using hub3 in modem mode and a netgear router and that worked fine using 2.4 and 5ghz frequencies. Not impressed.PACKET LOSS/DROPS
I've been having issues where my connection experiences spikes and complete dropouts, 30 minutes apart. I have been running BQM since Friday 6/6/25, as you can see in the attached graph from 8th-9th, the space between drop outs are quite consistent. I have: - Fully reset to factory settings. - Disabled IP Flood Detection (suggested solution on another site) - Tested other devices (another PC, 4 Phones, Xbox Series X, 2 TVs) all experience the same connection issues. - Pinged various IP Addresses and all came back with no loss.

This will be the 2nd router I am on, having the 1st replaced by an engineer for similar issues. Frankly, at £96 per month, I expect a far superior service. The speeds are good, sure, fantastic even. But it's no good having "lightning speeds" when you can't use them! If anyone else is experiencing this issue, or similar, please feel free to contribute your findings. VM, I eagerly await your advice/solutions as this is now affecting my employment. Regards.Hub 5 Modem Mode BROKEN
I have a Hub 5 which I've been using in modem mode with a PfSense router. Late last night the internet cut out, and the Hub 5 has now reverted itself to router mode. I've tried putting it back into modem mode but it just hangs on the 'Applying Settings' screen and the Hub 5 does not reboot or enter modem mode. I assume this is another unsolicited, broken firmware update from VM. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
