New Hub One Router Disconnects

My new Hub One router disconnects at random times.  I never has this trouble with the old Open Reach/Technicolor set up.

 

It reconnects itself after a minute or so without me having to do anything.  I have not changed anything here regarding devices on the network, etc. and the speeds are okay.

 

Any suggestions.

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Hi there, 

 

I've just been running diagnostics and don't see any obvious causes for this.

 

Please try following the checks here next: https://goo.gl/tu2WWu before reporting a fault over at http://faults.plus.net

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Thanks Adam. The router is plugged into the master socket and the phone line seems okay.  I've got my laptop connected with an ethernet cable and getting decent speeds, download 65.7 Mbps and upload 18.7 Mbps.  Wireless 38.6 Mbps download and 18.5 Mbps on upload so the phone line doesn't seem to be the problem.  The wireless signal isn't as good as I'd have liked but I don't think there's a fault.

 

I just wondered why it dropped randomly and then reconnects by itself.

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Hi @sue_h

 

Thanks for coming back to us.

 

I'm pleased to hear that the speeds etc are good on a wired connection. Just in terms of the drops, could you confirm whether these occur on both a wifi and the wired connection?

 

The wifi troubleshooting here might help if they're purely wifi related.

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Best wishes,

 

Dave

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Hi,

 

The router drops the connection whether I'm connected by wireless or ethernet (or both).

 

I use my laptop wired as it's close to the Hub One router anyway but my husband is using his on wireless.  We both recently logged on and down it went again, for about a minute.  It's annoying.

Hi @sue_h,

 

Thanks for confirming that the drops are occurring on both wired and wireless connections.

 

I can see that we ordered a new hub for you to try on the 10th of May. Please can you advise whether or not you have recieved and connected this yet? If so, did the new router make any difference to your connection?

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

The Hub One router was sent because I signed up for a new contract.  What's all this, one to try?

 

I never had a problem with the Open Reach/Technicolor router set up apart from speed issues.  Speed is no longer an issue, just dropping the connection.

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Hi @sue_h,

 

Thanks for confirming that the Hub One is the one that was sent as part of your new contract. I wasn't sure if you'd been sent a replacement to try yet.

 

As you've mentioned that you didn't have any problems with the Openreach modem/Technicolor router set up, it's possible that the Hub One router is faulty. I have sent you a replacement and it will arrive within 3-5 working days. Please don't hesitate to get back in touch if the replacement router doesn't resolve the dropping connection problem.

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Thanks Emily.  The replacement router arrived today and I was intending to set it up tomorrow but after several disconnections and re-connections this evening the light went red and the broadband symbol turned red and stayed red, it didn't re-connect at all.  

 

I've set up the replacement router and, touch wood, it's got the blue light and I'm back online.  I'll test it out for a couple of days to see if it stays connected.

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Oh my, nothing has changed.  The replacement router drops the broadband too.  There is a support ticket open on my account and someone was looking into the fault but nothing so far.

 

The router flashes orange, then goes solid orange and then the red broadband light comes on for a minute or so before turning blue and reconnects.

Had no help really with my support ticket.  A lovely guy did a GEA test and everything appeared okay, he posted the result in the ticket reply.  I have no idea what it all means but there was a graph too that shows the disconnections, which I've attached

Can anyone here help me out please as this is driving me mad now.  I'm not technically minded, I used the auto setup stuff from Plusnet to set up the router and I never had any trouble with fibre broadband until I got the Hub One router.

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Please, is there anyone here who can help me out.  The broadband is dropping out several times a day.  Connected with an ethenet cable so not a wireless problem.

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Its very disappointing that a Radius Server graph has not been shown so far - this should show how often you line drops.

Do you have a fault open?

The GEA test does show a worry speed discrepancy, so surprised the staff who have responded have not looked at your line in a bit more detail.

Re: New Hub One Router Disconnects

Thanks for the reply.  I attached the graph thing to my post with the chart stuff a couple of posts up.  Are you able to see that?

 

It's got worse and nobody replied to my support ticket since the support guy said the line test was inconclusive and sent me the numbers and graph.

 

Is there anything I can do?  I have never had any problem with Plusnet or fibre broadband until I got this Hub One router.

Sorry, missed the attachment, yes it does not look good, and they should be doing something about it.

Guys, is there something that may have been missed on this one?
