WiFi with Mobile Devices
I’ve noticed a few threads with issues around WiFi connecting to IPhones. I've been experiencing the same issues, however, my wife is on Android and having the same issue. We consistently have drop out on wifi with various apps buffering for ages. However, our Amazon fire stick seems to work okay. I’ve had two engineers out who can’t find any issues and even replaced the hub 5. It appears to work periodically, but will just stop and drop out frequently. I’m at my wits end as can’t find anything to resolve the issue. The last online chat resulted in Virgin sending us a WiFi booster, which I’ll try this weekend. As a last resort does anyone have any suggestions? We’ve had no issues for over a year, but something must have changed in the last 6 months as it’s complete hell now.56Views0likes6CommentsWifi and upload nightmare issues.
Across all our devices for the last 4 months wifi connected devices are intermittently not loading, they just drop off to mobile data or say connected no Internet. We are on the gig bundle. When doing Sam knows tests all looks fine but it's not. The engineers even experienced it when here. When doing speed test downloads speeds are fine but errors out on upload. Had 3 engineer visits, a new hub a new booster, One engineer said he found a ghost network. Even when all hubs etc where off still showing the network. It's driving us crazy, wifi tvs connect and seconds later lose the network again. As do all mobile devices, laptops etc... Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated48Views0likes6CommentsNetwork issues still unresolved with no communication
How do you get an update on what VM is doing to solve network issues? in January there was a broader issue in our area where all of virgin media went out for a couple of days. Ever since then we have had nothing but network issues specific to our Internet, including latency spikes and drop packages to a point where the Internet will just stop working for periods of time. The virgin media website assessment tool also shows that this network intermittent signal issues related to our area all the time when you run it, but then says there’s no known issues in the area. After five engineer visits and then a complete replacement of all items from virgin media to our home, the last engineer spent an hour in the box on the street and worked out that there were numerous issues related still to the network. He was escalating the issue to the network team. That was well over a week and a half ago and still we are having the same issues and there’s absolutely no way to contact anyone at virgin media. To make the situation even more frustrating you can’t even raise a complaint on the virgin media website because that functionality doesn’t work. Short of simply changing providers which also includes television services how else are you meant to progress with this situation?66Views0likes3CommentsMicro Internet Outages Every Few Hours
Hi all, All help greatly appreciated. Setup : Smart Hub 5 (modem mode) Issue : Every few hours my internet drops for approx 20-30seconds and then recovers. Observations : There is a lot of US profile assignment change logs. I think this are related to the times when my internet drops. "US profile assignment change. US Chan ID: 6; Previous Profile: 12 13; New Profile: 11 13.;CM-MAC=" Seen a couple of these in the current log. Nowhere near as prevalent "DHCP RENEW WARNING - Field invalid in response v4 option;CM-MAC=" Various errors logged (see screenshots below) What's changed? Have been running the Smart Hub 5 in router mode recently. Don't remember observing this initially but not 100% ruling it out. However, based on the Smart Hub logs it feels this is Smart HUB to Virgin infrastructure issues instead of it being my router plugged into Port 1 of the Smart HUB My next door neighbours recently has had Virgin Media broadband installed. Again I did not notice this initially so think again this is not related. System status : [Seems to be a lot of errors being logged such as] Adding upstream stats for reference And overall status Thanks in advance for any help or guidance76Views0likes8CommentsConsistent network disconnection only when attempting to play games
I've been dealing with persistent network disconnections that only occur when playing online games. This issue has been ongoing for about four weeks and has become increasingly frequent. While gaming, the router intermittently loses its internet connection, but the connection stabilizes once I stop playing. I'm using a wired connection to my router and have attempted multiple troubleshooting steps. I've reset the router both via the recessed reset button and by unplugging it, but neither method has helped. I even upgraded to new Cat8 Ethernet cables, yet the issue persists.24Views0likes1CommentPoor internet connection when camera connected to network
Hi all, I am using a Hub 5 in modem mode. The modem is connected to a Unifi dream router, this in turn is connected to a switch and a camera is connected to that powered by poe. Now the problem is, I've noticed over the past couple of weeks that the camera although permanently online switches between a Excellent and Poor connection experience. I've tried the following things with no joy: plugging the camera directly into the router I've replaced cables I've removed custom firewall rules I've tried hard resetting the camera I've rebooted the router Given the camera fixed IP address The unifi network health during this time looks fine, nothing untoward. I then turned my focus on the modem and have been examining the Network logs. I've noticed these critical entries over the past few days. Do these mean anything to anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 16 consecutive T3 timeouts while trying to range on upstream channel 8;CM-MAC=9c:24:72:4c:4f:83;CMTS-MAC=00:01:5c:83:84:51;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1; Unicast Maintenance Ranging attempted - No response - Retries exhausted;CM-MAC=9c:24:72:4c:4f:83;CMTS-MAC=00:01:5c:83:84:51;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1; SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync;CM-MAC=9c:24:72:4c:4f:83;CMTS-MAC=00:01:5c:83:84:51;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1; Ben144Views0likes12CommentsUnable to open job website
I can't get into a website for job searching because every time I try to, it takes me to a different site. When I turn off Virgin Broadband and try to open the same website again, I stay on that website instead of being sent to a different one. What might be going wrong? I turned off child protection and virus security, among other things. Should I switch my internet service? Thank you!!!Solved230Views0likes5Comments
