Cannot Connect to Internet

I have Fibre Broadband using the Technicolor router.
I have been fine with it for over a month but Saturday 27/10/12 my internet connection light on my Router went off.
I tried everything to reset this by resetting it back to factory settings and entering my dsl username and password in but still nothing and every time I tried to connect the red light would come up then go off after it failed with an error message saying router concentrator not reachable
Any help on this would be great
Thanks

If you can connect following this, you should factory reset your Technicolor with the reset hole at the back (hold this down for 5-10 seconds, and release when you see the power light change colour).
If this then continues to not work after 15 mins or so, contact us and we should be arranging a replacement.
If the above link does not assist, again contact us and we should be raising a fault report for you.

thanks for that Phil I am not currently home so won't be able to test this until later today but I will try setting up the PPPoE and seeing if it helps.
I have logged this in with the Network help support team as of yesterday as I also went through Resetting my router back to factory settings and putting in my dsl details again but no luck, they thought it could be maintenance on the exchange in my local area but I checked this and there doesn't seem to be any problems.
If this still continues I will contact you as what would need replacing just the technicolor router.
Thanks

I tried the PPPoE yesterday and followed the link but with no outcome as I could not connect to it.
I contacted the support team again last night where they told me to turn off my router and modem for 65minutes and try login in as bt_test@startup_domain, password: test this did not work and I have tried everything I can to connect to the internet still with no outcome and with the red light on the router coming on when i try and connect then going off again with the error message saying concentrator not reachable.
Thanks

I have also raised two questions regarding this issue and have been on the phone Saturday, Sunday night and last night.
I am really not happy with this at the moment as this still hasn't been looked into.
If someone could contact me regarding the progress of this and if I could be sent a router to see if a new one works then I would appreciate it.
Thanks

no I don't I live North Wales. Oh really well mine is Fibre to the Cabinet, but I don't think there is a problem with the cabinet as my next door neighbors internet is fine but he is with BT. I just want to know the problem to be honest so I can have my internet back up and running. It could be the hardware but I have only had the install done on 25/09/12 so just over a month

I still haven't heard anything back regarding this matter and I am really starting to get frustrated with this as no conclusion to what the problem is has been made!!
jtm I hope you have managed to get your internet back up and running so i can have a little hope :)....I did phone them again last night and they said it has been logged with the faults team and I should get a phone call or text TODAY.

We'd advise a factory reset of the router next, to do that you'd just need to hold a hairpin/cocktail stick etc in the recess on the back of the router for about 15 seconds, the lights with go out then flash to confirm that's taken place.
The best thing to do after that is to leave it idle for 15 minutes and test the connection. If there's no joy after that drop me a reply and I'll make sure we pick this up again today for you.

Sorry to hear you're still having issues too. In case you were unaware one of my colleagues on the faults team has noted that they'll be chasing the fault up again shortly for you.
