Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

Internet has been dropping at the same time every night for the past few weeks, it comes up saying "disconnected" from the internet making me re-enter my passwords into it so after a few seconds it says "connected" then proceeds to do the same thing the next night. i came to see if there was a way this could be fixed as it is a huge inconvenience when i am using the internet and and then i get kicked offline. I get redirected to the log in page each time and it happens only to the router as all devices go offline albeit Ethernet or wireless connection. Phone line is clear with slight crackles every so often.

Is there any way to keep the router connected to the internet without having to log back into it each day as it is very annoying, I've never had to do this with any other ISP.

Re: Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

The issue of disconnecting at 10:52 has been fixed but now it disconnects me at 2pm instead, along with this whenever the housephone rings the internet drops out and disconnects me from whatever i am doing this is inconvenient as i am regularly on the internet is there anyway this could be fixed?

Re: Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

Hi there, With regards to the drops and the phone calls. I'd just like to confirm If you have a spare microfilter (one was supplied with the router). Normally this is caused by a filtering issue either however could still be an exchange issue.

If you have the spare filter you can use the following guide on how to access the test socket and use the supplied filter. The guide can be located here.  Let us know how you get on.

Re: Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

hi, yes i am using the microfilter provided with the router to filter out calls from the broadband but a disconnection still occurs upon a call being received and ended.

Re: Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

Do you have any other extensions in your property, and do they have a filter fitted?

Re: Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

I have three house phones one in the kitchen, bedroom and living room each one has a filter fitted for them.

 

Along with this the internet has just been disconnected at the time it used to be, however it hasn't done this for a few days so i believed it to be fixed but apparently it is not?

Hi @Sandrajward,

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing these issues. I've taken a look into your account today and spoken to our suppliers regarding the open fault, who have advised that an external engineer has been assigned to carry out some work on your line today.

As this is the case we will receive a further update regarding this fault tomorrow and our faults team will aim to get back in touch with you regarding this as soon as possible, however if you are still experiencing any issues with your connection then please don't hesitate to let us know via this thread again so we can investigate further.

Re: Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

Hi thank you for your help, the phone no longer disconnects internet however it still disconnects at 10.52 at night causing me to reconnect the internet each night. I do not know if it will continue to disconnect at 2pm as work was being done on the phone wiring during this time.

Re: Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

I'd like to keep an eye on the line to see how it settles. The new drop wire won't resolve the time related problem, but I want to see everything settle. It's also worth noting if any electrical devices may come on in the vicinity around the time of the drops.

Re: Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

Can you think of anything that changed on the Monday or Tuesday?

These are the only two days where you didn't have the drop at 10:52

Re: Router Disconnecting at the Same Time Everyday

Hi @Sandrajward, if you haven't already, could you connect your router to the Test Socket. 

 

 

If you can connect your router here between the hours of 10pm-11.30pm (with nothing else connected), we can check to see if the disconnect still happens. (When in the test socket it will disconnect the extension sockets.)
