I have been using a TG582n for my ADSL connection for nearly two years - not the best router in the world but it provided a rock solid connection. Am in the process of upgrading to FTTC so have been sent a Plusnet Hub One - connection drops constantly
(16268.380000) PPP LCP Send Termination Request [User request] the all time record for my connection crapping out was 3 mins. Plug my old TG582n and connection stays up.
Was told by support to raise a fault ticket #125917827 as SNR was high.
(16288.840000) ETHoA is up - VPI: 0, VCI: 35 Down Rate=4928Kbps, Up Rate=448Kbps; SNR Margin Down=15.0dB, Up=26.0dB
Have been sent a replacement Plusnet Hub One and problem still persists. Although ticket has been updated with "I have been doing a full diagnostic test of your line today and haven't been able to find any issue that would need raising to our suppliers."
Using upstairs extension or Master Socket makes no difference to SNR.
Looks like I will on my 3rd Plusnet Hub One by the end of the day.

Thanks, I was sort of thinking I may be chasing a problem that might not actually exist once I have been cutover to Fibre. Not a fan of the Hub One. I was running with a TG582n flashed with Zen Firmware so that I could run it as a modem only with a Cisco ASA5505 and an Apple Time Capsule for my LAN but wanted to simplify my connection so thought I would just run it with the supplied hardware..

I can't understand why the Hub One device which should be ADSL compatible is configured like that. I wonder if @bobpullen could throw some light on this?

@Anotherone thanks for offering to get assistance from @bobpullen. It looks as if my FTTC cutover is in progress as following message in the logs on my Plusnet Hub One.
(32797.820000) WAN operating mode is VDSL

Good stuff, but will you get the sync speeds you expected?
Bob's input is still needed though, as it seems to highlight a problem.

Agree if Plusnet are sending out Hub One's with the incorrect configuration then it needs to be resolved.
BTW I got a response to my question #125917827 and a configuration issue was found on my line which has been reset. So hopefully we get a good sync speed.

Thanks for that. At least Bob maybe able to explain what it's doing if it's not actually an issue, so then we'll know for the future. They seem to be sending out the Hub One to ADSL users as well now, at least that's an impression I'm getting.

Struggling to justify this one if I'm honest. It's as if you've two network interfaces configured in parallel. How did you have the router configured? You were using the DSL and not the WAN port to connect the router to the phone socket weren't you? What else did you have plugged into the router?
I'll admit, it does look odd. We've not shipped that many Hub Ones to ADSL customers, but even so, I'd expect to have encountered this problem before now if it were a widespread issue.

Hi Bob in answer to your questions above.
1. You were using the DSL and not the WAN port to connect the router to the phone socket weren't you? Yes this is exactly how I had it configured with the RJ11 Cable Connected directly to the Phone Socket using a Micro Filter.
2. An Apple Time Capsule was connected to Ethernet Port 1 and this is used to provide Wi-Fi access with the Wi-Fi on the Plusnet Hub One turned off. The Apple Time Capsule is configured in Bridged Mode so all Routing, DNS forwarding & DHCP services are provided by the Hub One. If you have any more questions happy to answer them for you.
Simon

I am on ADSL, was sent a HubOne at start of new contract; recently exchange upgraded to 21CN and have been having UNTIL RECENTLY, horrendous disconnection issues with HubOne.
One of benefits (of 21CN) was supposed to be better line stability (+ possibly minor speed jump).
Stability wasn't good initially though speed improved to circa 3.3mb which is good for me on long line (5km+ from exchange).
Since stability improved last week speed has dropped down to 2.7/2.8mbps; did try & router restart yesterday (after 4 days of solid connection) in hope of getting faster re connection, but still at the 2.7 figure on pcl-bng02 gateway.
No disconnects since reconnect.

Thanks Simon. I remain confused in which case. ETHoA is the interface for the red-bordered WAN port as far as I know

Hi Bob - just to confirm you confusion - I was 100% not using the Red WAN Port. Seem to have a stable connection now over VDSL at around 35Mb/s which considering I live out in the wilds of Gloucestershire I can live with.
