no internet red light

hi,

at midday the internet stopped working, we have flashing amber light on router and solid red light on broadband symbol. looking at the upstream and downstream its 0 for both.

called in today line tested ok, phones ok, just cant connect to broadband.

advisor says problem at our end and is sending out new router.

 

I tried a couple of other routers but still cannot get the adsl to sync,

 

any idea anyone what the issue could be if its not the line

 

following tried,

 

plugged into master socket,

changed filter and adsl cable

factory reset the router

changed user name and password to same as account

 

any help appreciated

 

note* it says in service manual a solid red light indicates username password issue, its meant to be self install and uses setup@plusdsl.net as its login, I changed this to my username as advised but still cannot connect

 

 

thanks

Re: no internet red light

@lyndsaym96 When you changed username did you use username@plusdsl.net?

That suggests it's not a problem with the username/password you're connecting with as even with those entered wrong you should still see a sync speed in the router.

 

We should be progressing this as a fault really. Can you PM your username so I can take a look at what's going on.

Thanks for the PM. Testing the line is showing in sync, which is odd based on your stats above which suggest it's out of sync. It's looking like the next step is an engineer visit, however I would definitely double check that the connection username in your router is in the format username@plusdsl.net

Re: no internet red light

Hi. We had the line tested from the exchange to the property and that seemed to throw up an error. Was promised a 72 he call pack and engineer booked for Monday. Phoned sat and told no engineer had been booked but accepted that 72 hrs had passed. Promised 24 hr phone back. That was 2 days ago. Still no word from plusnet regarding this issue. Unnacpetable not even a sorry. Considering switching to virgin now as need internet and with no resolve in sight feeling this may be our best option. If you able to find any info for us or any clue as to the status of the repair I can be contacted on [Removed]
