Hi
We have just moved to Plusnet 2 weeks ago and we are unhappy with the sound the router makes. It sounds like its hissing and buzzing and when being used a dragging sound. The speed also dropped to 19 and lost facetime connection and wondered if the faulty router could be the cause of this. We have never had this issue with sky or even talk talk. I logged on to this forum to see if I can cancel as I refuse to put up with that noise for 18 months and seen many other people having the same issue and have been sent a replacement router.
Please could you advise and resolve.
Thank you
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Hi there,
I've arranged for a replacement hub to be sent to you.
If it's not too much trouble, can you send the faulty device back to me at the office for inspection, rather than using the returns back you receive?
See here for the address.
I'll happily apply some credit to your account to cover the cost of postage + inconvenience.

Would be interested to know what causes this.
I had a few PlusNet HubOnes that did this and also my Panasonic TV seems to like doing it when using WiFi.

Hi @superhov
Sorry to see you are experiencing issues with your broadband speed and a noisy router.
When the new router is received, please run a speed test here via an Ethernet cable and Internet Explorer. Once the test has completed, please click further diagnostics then enter your telephone number and run the diagnostics to send this information to us.
If your speed is lower than the estimated speed, please raise a fault here.
If the issue no longer occurs, follow our guide on improving your wireless signal.
Thank you.

Hi @superhov
No problem, there will be a prepaid returns bag sent with the replacement router which you can take to any post box.
Again let us know how you get on.
Thank you.

Hi
The new router appears to have no noise at the moment so that's brilliant, hopefully it will stay that way.
I will return the faulty one to you to the address you provided in the post and not use the prepaid bag as requested.
Thank you for your help in resolving my issue.
Regards
