Frequent Disconnects

Hi, 

 

I'm using a plusnet hub one, on Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.263

 

Speed tests are fine, infact I'm very happy here, but i am getting plagued with frequent disconnects.

 

I've checked the router log, around one of my recent disconnects, and I don't know enough to say what's wrong. 

 

Is the frequent 'Lease Requested' a concern?

Re: Frequent Disconnects

Three more disconnects this afternoon, and performance had taken a big hit. I think I'm going to have to call up tomorrow.

Re: Frequent Disconnects

Tried calling them myself today and if you try to go through to the tech support dept there is nobody to take the call, and no online chat at the moment either. Reading on here seems there are quite a lot of us having issues like this

Re: Frequent Disconnects

Thanks for getting in touch. I'm sorry for the issues with your connection. 

@thetarpey those messages in your router logs are referring to disconnects between your router and your devices. I've tested your line today and the tests aren't showing any issues with the broadband signal going into your router. 

I've tried to take a closer look into your router's settings but for one reason or another, the router's not fully contacting our hardware management platform. I'd advise carrying out a factory reset by pushing a paperclip into the reset pinhole at the back for 20 seconds which should sort that out.

If you have issues after, I'd then go through the steps explained Here to separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless networks. You'll then see two available networks to connect your devices to. 

If you find you have problems on the usual network name (2.4GHz), I'd recommend going through the wireless troubleshooting steps explained Here but if you have issues while on the 5GHz wireless frequency, it may be worth posting in this thread Here as we might be able to make changes to your router's firmware version. 

Upon reviewing your account I've added a bit more information on a support ticket you can view by going Here.

@blake48 Our tests aren't showing any definitive issues with the broadband signal going into your router so I'd advise carrying out the above wireless troubleshooting steps too. If you've tried that and there are further issues I'd recommend connecting your router into what's known as the test socket explained Here and report a fault to us at http://faults.plus.net

We can then look at arranging an engineer to investigate further as our testing is showing what's known as a bridge tap that's generally a wiring issue but this may just be a red herring so I'd advise tackling this from a wireless perspective first.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.
