Hi, several months ago i was experiencing unstable connections to online games that i play. I had asked on here for help and got told you couldn't see a problem. Through trying different things turned out the router was the cause of the problem, since then i have been using an old spare one my father had, but the problem is occurring again, is there anyway i can test to see if it is the router again? or can i get another sent out?

Hi, yes it is a wired connection, with only my pc connected to it. There is a single master socket that got installed when i moved here.

Hi there,
i have just had another look at your connection.
Whilst I can see that your router is syncing with our network - you have no active session at the moment in time.
Can I please ask if you still have a router connected?
Thanks

Hi @Artfal,
Thanks for confirming that. I've tried testing your line again and the test is running correctly now. However, it's still not picking up the cause of this issue.
Please see the ticket on your account here for a copy of the test results and details on the next steps towards getting this issue resolved for you.
Regards,
Emily

Hi, as requested i have done the BT Speedtester.
I have always used speedtest as a rough guide to see if any problems are arising, but this and the problem i had several months ago seems to affect me when i'm in games that need to send a receive information very quickly, overall speeds are often unaffected.

Hi @Artfal,
Thank you for doing that. Upon carrying out further testing it appears that your router is connecting on the wrong details, which could explain the performance issues.
Please can you try a factory reset of your router? There's a pinhole on the back and you'll just need to push something into this for at least 15 seconds whilst the router is powered on. If the issue persists once you've done this, please can you send us the router's serial number via private message and we'll make some changes on this side.
Regards,
Emily
