New fiber connection keeps disconnecting and asking for username and password

It basically doesn't work because it connects, all seems fine, and then few seconds after the page comes back asking for username and password. This happens in both the phone and the computer. is this a router fault?

Which router are you using?

How are you connecting to it? And which screen is asking you for the username and password?

Hi thanks for responding, it is the plusnet hub one, the screen in my laptop is the plusnet webpage asking to enter my username and password, when I do it goes through and it is "you are connected" and then internet wroks, but it only lasts few seconds and it reloads to the page asking to reenter the username and password.

Hello there,

 

Hmm, this is quite odd. Have you tried a factory reset of the router?

Re: New fiber connection keeps disconnecting and asking for username and password

Dear Anoush,

I have factory reset the router now, and I can't connect to the internet anymore. what do you suggest?

Also, is it possible to cancel my contract with you and get my money back? since I spent a morning with the BT engineer and now I have been 4 days trying to understand why I don't have any internet, it is looking to me that I am not getting what I have paid for.
