DNS issues

[#1]

Hi
We are having multiple devices with connectivity issues and after experiencing it myself I switched my pc to a direct DNS provider, which resolved the issue. Is there a way to change the DNS settings on the router, I can't seem to find it.
Thanks
Tony

@TONYOH Welcome to the forum.  🙂

If it's a Plusnet-supplied router, then unfortunately, no.  😥

@TONYOH couple of questions...
1. Is the problem temporarily resolved if you reboot the router?
2. If you configure a device to go direct to the Plusnet DNS servers (212.159.13.49 & 212.159.13.50), does that also 'fix' things?

Hi Bob
The outage is normally less than a minute, so I haven't managed to reboot yet. Yes, we have devices using direct server addresses to bypass the issue, though not the Plusnet ones, but I can try those. I normally see this when gaming, so I expect it to reocurr if these changes have not solved the issue. Will update in the week if I have noticed it. Thanks

Thanks, doesn't quite fit the symptoms of what I suspected.

Just to confirm: you are using a Hub One router?

Let me know how you get on as I may still be able to help.

Ok. Yes it's a hub one. We switched a month ago. Firmware . 4.7.5.1.83.8.263.

So it looks like a WiFi issue rather than DNS. It happened last night on my laptop. I had been using it all afternoon and then it kept disconnecting and my phone also lost WiFi. About 7 times in a 15 minute period. I switched to a wired connection and all was fine.

Will try and take a look tomorrow for you...

I have the same on and off internet issue since 3 days ago, in the evening mostly.

I tried all sorts of online tweaks, I`ve changed the DNS address, reinstalled my network adapter, reset the router, nothing worked, I have no stable internet connection in the evening.

My phone also losses wifi signal so it`s not my laptop`s fault.

Any advice?

@TONYOH - I've pushed an update to your router. You'll need to reboot at your side to apply it. Keep an eye on things and let me know if it's helped.

@Doinita - sorry to hear you're having problems but it seems your issue is unrelated. Firstly, you are not using a Hub One (you have a Hub Zero). Secondly, your physical broadband connection is dropping out. I would suggest you start a new thread and if you haven't already, report a line fault here.

Hi Bob, thank you for your reply, I`ve researched a lot on this forum and bought a Bt Hub 6 off Ebay, hopefully I`ll have a better  internet connection if I manage to install it

So far my internet didn`t drop at all today, it`s just slower than usual, not  much I can do apart from reporting it, thank you

[#12]

Thanks Bob. I've rebooted. Will monitor for the next week.

Hi Bob

Seems much better, only noticed one drop, which is fine. Thanks for your assistance.

Regards
Tony

Actually tonight has been pretty bad with disconnecting, spoke too soon
