Renewed my Plusnet Contract and opted for the new Plusnet Hub 2 Router, swapped over to using it and it works great apart from now and again it will start having a really poor ping on Wired and Wireless devices at the same time.
Usually the ping is 16-20ms (74Mb Down/18Mb Up) and gaming/browsing is fine but at random points in the day it will go to 100-150ms ping causing noticable issues, especially lag in gaming. I never had any issues with the Hub 1 Router.
Is there a way I can force any new firmware to come down?
If I restart the router it is usually fine but it will return sometimes quite soon, sometimes OK for a couple of days. It does correct itself as well without me having to do anything, it is just very random.
Download/Upload speeds remain at about 80% of what I usually get when this happens.
Router is plugged in exactly as the old one was, directly to the master socket (BT 5C) which has no additional phone points (or even a phone) connected to it.
Any ideas?
Cheers
