Strange connection problems

Hello,

 

I have had a very stable connection since upgrading to Fibre almost 18 months ago.  On the early hours of Sunday morning (26th) I lost connection completely but by 10am it seemed to be up and running again (there were BT openreach engineers out at my exchange on Saturday).  

 

Today however, I come home to find that:

 

1- my sky box cannot connect to on demand but is connected to the router 

2- I can't connect to my steam account - error messages saying no connection

3- when I am web browsing I have to click refresh as I keep getting "not connected to the internet" errors

4- video streaming either works fine or I get "cannot load data" errors on netflix

 

All of this is happening despite speedtest.net and BT wholesale speed tests showing my normal connection speed and ip profile.

 

When I log into my router to test internet connectivity there is a red cross next to "Internet" and "Connectivity to IPv4 Gateway".

 

I have tried bypassing the router but the same issues are happening. 

 

Are there any problems in the Scottish Borders area that are known that can explain this?

Re: Strange connection problems

There's nothing I can see that would have caused this.

Is it still ongoing?

Might have resolved itself again. Will check when I get home.

Re: Strange connection problems

Seems to be working now.  Sky, Steam, browsing and streaming services connecting as normal after another restart of the modem.

 

Router still has a red cross next to "Internet" and "Connectivity to IPv4 Gateway (172.16.19.146)" not sure what that IP address is.
