Broadband connection dropping upto 20 times in a d...

Having read others troubles and suggested solutions I thought I need to start my own thread to post the stats of the problem I have.
I'm staying with my inlaws and there broadband connection is atrocious, dropping the connection on a regular basis both day and night. Sometimes all is well for hours and others the link is up down up down not maintaining a connection for more than a few minutes at a time. This happens at random times but also almost guaranteed when an phone is in use (incoming, outgoing or sometimes even just if a receiver is lifted)
Below is what we've tried so far:
Original Thomson BT Home Hub (White) dropped both the internet and sometimes the hub would restart. I read this device had restarting issues so I think this was 2 separate issues. This has been replaced with a Belkin device. Belkin modem also dropped ADSL line (line and internet light on router both go out) but most of the time it is much quicker to reconnect.
Router is plugged in in upstairs office on an extension so I've tried moving it to the 1st BT socket in hallway. This is an old small square socket with no split facia or test port.
Replaced the RJ11 cable from filter to modem.
Replaced the ADSL filter modem is connected to.
Disconnected all other phones in household (there are no other devices eg fax)
Quiet line test performed at main socket no odd noises and only the very faintest of hiss (lower pitch than hiss but I can't describe) Almost inaudible anyhow.
With all of the above tried the line still dropped and so I've all but run out of ideas. What's the next course of action? Calling the call centre? I wanted to make sure our side was all in order before raising a fault ticket.
For ref the line has dropped twice while I was composing this post. Once with no apparent reason and once more while receiving an incoming call. Thanks for taking the time to read this I’ll post the stats from the router below.

Thanks for the reply I'll take a read of that.
It's taken this long to get back online and post the modem stats, sorry about the formatting.

  • Broadband connection drops when a phone call is re...

    Hi
    I am new to this forum so please let me know if I don't supply all the necessary information.
    For a couple of months now we have had a consistent problem with the broadband connection dropping when an incoming phone call is received, prior to this it had been fine for a long time.  After making the normal user checks, as recommended by BT, the problem persisted.  A BT engineer visited my house and was able to reproduce the fault at the master socket.  He traced the line back, via the manholes under the street to a connection box outside the village.  After working hard for four hours he seemed to have fixed the fault and was able to demonstrate streaming video uninteruppted by an incoming call.  He told me that he had solved the problem by re-routing the line, he also replaced the mark 2 router with a mark 3 router.  Twenty four hours later the problem returned and is again absolutely consistent - even with just the router connected to the master socket the broadband light will go out when an incoming call is received.  On phoning the helpline I was told that there was a problem at the exchange, which should be fixed within 24 hours, but it wasn't and I didn't hear back.  Further investigation showed that both of these issues had been marked as resolved.  We are a long way from the exchange and have had a history of problems with both the line itself and the exchange.  In the past the hard working BT engineers have always managed to get things sorted out when they have visited.
    This time I am struggling, as I can't seem to find the right approach to BT to persuade them to build on the work that the engineer who came out so recently did - I always seem to end up describing the problem from the beginning and then being told that it is my internal wiring that is at fault, nobody will acknowledge any of the work that has been done by the engineer that visited or the person that approached the exchange.
    Sorry for such a long post, but it is very frustrating - I have considered changing the phone number so that nobody can make any incoming calls, but then I would have no phone!!
    Any ideas would be gratefully received.

    Hi John
    Thank you for your very prompt response.  Clicking on that link does not show up any problems in my area or with my line.  I have limited technical knowledge, but what you say about high resistance does fit the facts.  We have had a lot of problems over the years, most of which have been traced back to faults between the box at the edge of the villagae and our house - we have had the line replaced more than once, although I'm not exactly sure what that involved.  In the past the fault that recurred was very slow speed and dropping of the broadband connection, this is different now in that the speed is actually now quite good for our area, but the connection drops when a phone call is made or received.  I did have the fault logged with BT, but it has now disappeared from "track faults" without being resolved.
    When everything is working it is a very good service.  My friend in an isolated village in North Wales had BT broadband as soon as his local exchange was enabled.  It has provided faultless service ever since, at a higher speed than I can get on the outskirts of a major city.
    Thanks for the support, it has made me feel much less isolated - I'll keep reporting it.
    Regards
    Richard

    I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
    Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
    Best of luck.

  • Satellite L300 PSLBGE network connection drops at random times

    Hey,
    I've had this problem with my laptop since I bought it 1.5 years ago.
    Now I run Windows 7 x64, with the latest bios (version 2.20-WIN; date 25/02/10), chipset and wireless (the card is a: Realtek Wireless LAN Adapter 8187B; driver version: 62.1182.0331.2010) drivers.
    The problem is that my network connection drops at random times.
    This happens both with my wireless and lan card and it happens with a variety of routers ( at work and at home I use a linksys wrt54gl but I have tried it on other routers with the same result).
    I don't think this is a hardware fault since the network seems to work fine under Linux ( I've tried Ubuntu 10 ) . Also a while back I took it to the warranty service and they said the hardware is fine but I should "not use many programs at the same time and use Windowx XP".
    From what I understand the various devices (wireless card, network card, webcam, etc) inside the laptop are connected to some sort of usb hub. My guess is that is something wrong with this 'hub' since the webcam is also working faulty.
    Thanks,

    >From what I understand the various devices (wireless card, network card, webcam, etc) inside the laptop are connected to some sort of usb hub. My guess is that is something wrong with this 'hub' since the webcam is also working faulty.
    No, the WLan card and LAN card are not connected to any USB interfaces just the webcam so this cannot be any USB issue.
    I think it could be an Windows issue since Linux is OK
    I think you should check the power management settings in Win 7 and for Wlan /LAN card. This can be done in device manager -> WLan / LAN card properties -> Advanced tab.
    I recommend also updating the Win 7 to the latest state install all updates and patches

  • Home hub 3, broadband connection dropping

    Hi, just a few days ago I recived my new home hub 3. The reason I wanted the upgrade from the hub 1 is because the broadband connection would drop and also the old hub would reset it self constantly.
    The new hub is much better in terms of not resetting itself, if i try and watch something on 4od etc, youtube, it feels like any stress and the braodband connection drops, I had this on the old hub but it feels like its happening more now.
    So much so I decided to make a paint version of my wiring so someone can maybe help me out.
    http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r173/guysy1110/​routerproblem.png
    Sorry the paint image came out much smaller than I wanted.
    The main phone line is dowstairs in the lounge, its split into 2 using a 2 way splitter, one goes to the main phone which has a microfilter attached, the other plug leads up to the spare room and there a phone box (sorry not sure what its called) is in place, this box was split into another one because a long time ago there was a router that lived in the spare room (the split box is unused). Probably confusing people now, but the main box upstairs in the spare room is extended into my room and then a microfilter is used and then goes into the hub.
    The extension cable is FAR too long, possibly 10m of cable wound up and tucked behind the drawers. Could this be a problem? I guess so.
    So my main questions are, if both the router and main phone have new microfilters on, what other causes could keep my router dropping the broadband connection? the extension into my room is FAR too long possibly 10m which is wound up behind my drawers, first off im going to get a shorter cable. 
    Also the microfilter is closest to the hub, would it be better at the first source downstairs, or even in the spare room?
    Any suggestions would be great. thanks.

    Im reviving this thread, so far from the phone box upstairs Ive shortened the cable, It still goes into my room but now instead of having a ridiculous 15m amount of calbing unused Its a straight 3m from the other room to mine.
    This has slightly improoved things.
    However the hub still suffers and drops the broadband connection when under "stress" when the phone rings it sometimes drops, and when downloading files it drops halfway through if the file is large which is a massive pain.
    On the downstairs master socket I removed the facia and did a quiet line test on the inside socket, there was no noise. I used a corded phone. I wasnt sure if it mattered but I tested all other sockets using this method and none had any noise.
    I phoned BT and was advised to take the hub closest to the master socket, but if i do this I have no wireless card in my PC so cannot connect, The obvious option is to get a wireless card but that will cost money. As will buying the power lines.
    Any suggestions? I guess plugging the hub in downstairs and trying to connect to something is the best option.
    Any advice please?

  • Ongoing Broadband connection drops and slow speed ...

    Over the last few weeks i seem to be having random issues with my Broadband connection and teh connection has become very unstable and unreliable
    The connection will randomly drop and re-establish, often at a much lower speed that it should be. I regularly get around 3 - 4MB download speed which is good for my area but often find that when it reconnections i get around 1MB. To resolve the issue i usually have to restart my hub (BT HH2) which then usually gets me back to the normal speed. 
    Luckily I do have a SamKnows box which shows this issue in a graphical form. Note how unstable the connection and speed seems to be! Surely it is not be like this?

    To me this is suggesting a problem with the line/BB connection, would this assumption be correct?

  • Broadband connect drops constantly

    I have connection drops at least 10-15 times a day.  The lights on the HUB remain blue.  I have to restart the HUB which  fixes the problem.  It is not the type of service I should have to pay for.  Have called BT about this 5 times, and they aways tell me to go in settings and change the channel.  That solves the problem for all of 60 mins and then the drops happen again.  BT sent a new HUB a while ago, but the problem remains.  I am sure its the line, but BT states that their tests show no line intrference.  I am reaching the end of my patience.  Can anyone help please?
    BTW:  the connection dropped while I was typing this post :-(

    Hello, thanks for the quick response and advice.  Yes, it the wireless connection that keeps dropping (at least 25 times yesterday).  I have gone into the router settings and changed channels multiple times, refreshed channels, unfortunately none of this helped.
    Have downloaded inssider2, from running it, i see a mssive spaghetti of networks, but i have been able to isolate mine and have chosen an optimal channel (fingers crossed)
    Tried the quiet line test, and the line is silent
    I am connected to the master socket. No phone extensions in the home.

  • Access Points connection drop approximately 30 times with 802.1x Radius

    Hello Everyone,
    As you can see from the top this is my problem that could not solve for 2 weeks. To summarize again, I used to my access points with standart configuration, I mean vlans, dhcp and other basic configration. After we increased security of our access points we started to encouter connection drops issue.
    These are the example logs;
    Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station xxxx.xxxx.xxxx (my mac address) Reason: Previous authentication no longer valid
    Also a lot of:
    interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station xxxx.xxxx.xxxx (my mac address) Reason: Sending station has left the BSS
    as well as we have a lot of authentication failures such like:
    %DOT11-7-AUTH_FAILED: Station xxxx.xxxx.xxxx (my mac address) Authentication failed
    What should I do ?
    Thanks in advance

    I have finally found something to look into :/

  • Broadband connection dropping 20 times per day

    Hello I am staying with my parents who use the BT broadband.Their internet has always been suspect but I have never had call to interfere until now. Any attempts to watch streaming or use download sites cause frequent connection crashes. The internet cannot then be found until the router is restarted. It's clearly more than a traffic problem as this is happening during the day during the week as well as at weekends. Any other ideas before I get in touch with the helpdesk?
    Thanks

    welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
    are you connected to the hub by ethernet or wireless?  if wireless is it the wireless connection and all lights on hub are blue?
    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) bt speedtester and post the results .
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

  • BB connection dropping 20 -30 times a day

    Hi, hope someone can tell me if I have a faulty Home Hub 3, or is it is an outside problem.
    I have had connection problems before, but they have seemingly resolved themselves. Last November it was bad, and I eventually emailed BT with a complaint. They came back with all the usual tests to do, which I had already done. Without doing anything myself, the problem went away. I had also bought a Home Hub 3, and installed that, but the connection issue had been resolved by then. Now I am having the same problem, - it started in June, - the first Sunday of the month, when the conenction went down about 20 times whilst I was on Skype ( a regular Sunday date, so nothing unusual). No problems then until July sometime, when connection was very iffy for a day or so, then no problems until the first Sunday of August, last Sunday, when it went off umpteen times again, for a couple of minutes each time. 
    BT are at present installing Infinity in the area, so I had thought it might have something to do with that, but the problems have persisted all this last week, - every day it has gone down 20 -30 times, for a minute or so, then come back.
    I have now ordered Infinity and the engineer is coming on the 21st. But today the connection has gone down about 15 times already, and I'm not sure I can stand another 11 days of this.
    I have done the Quiet Line test, - no noise. I have plugged the HomeHub into the test socket (with an ADSL filter), with no phone connected, and the connection still drops. The Broadband light on the hub goes off, then flashes orange, pink, and then back to blue. The hub is in the bedroom, and I have seen it flashing whilst I'm lying in bed, at 2 in the morning!

     If anyone could tell me whether I should ditch the Home Hub and install my old Netgear DG834GT, then I will try that. If it doesn't solve the problem, then what do I do? 
    I should add that I am deaf (husband did the quiet line test!), so rely on the internet for communicating, - and I would not be able to hear anyone on the phone, - BT advisors etc, - been there, done that, and it was VERY frustrating!! Husband is a total technophobe, so no good either.
    Any advice would be warmly welcomed. Thanks for reading.
    Solved!

  • Connection dropping. Same time every day. Packet B...

    Hi there, I am at the end of my tether trying to get assistance through the BT phone number. Here is the background.
    I had a 2nd line added to my property in September 2013 to be a dedicated broadband line, no other phone ports were created other than the master socket. The BT Home Hub is connected to this master socket and I connect to it via WiFi upstairs. No telephone is used on the socket. The router is the small black one with the 3 blue lights that you see on the advert.
    The connection has been fantastic up until 12th February when I reported Fault ref : VOL051-**********
    At the moment that Fault ref has a graphic showing Broadband Problem at Location (1) BT Retail Servers.
    I'm from an IT background and feel I understand a lot of what goes on, any questions, just ask me.
    I am a Sports Trader and have dedicated software that has a Ping graphic, this means that at all times I can see that I have a stable connection (or not).
    Overview : At 9:30pm every other day, my connection becomes unstable, the ping graphic flashes red showing that some pings to the server are taking in excess of 1000 milli seconds, when they are normally around 60ms.
    Over the next 5 minutes, everything grinds to a halt.
    I then moan for the next hour rebooting, restarting until things settle down to normal around 10:30pm.
    During this hour, there are times where my router can't connect to broadband, there are other times where it claims its connected but the speed is akin to an old dialup.
    I have disconnected anything wireless around the house over the last month, nothing is solving the problem.
    I've looked in the Event Logs and I am convinced there is something far wrong internally. I will paste this below.
    I also ran a tracert to google.co.uk during the problem time tonight, it took forever and I will also paste this below.
    I had been out tonight so returned home and tried to start working at 22:07, my wife had been on the connection from a different laptop earlier.

  • Odbc connection drops after some time over vpn -- help needed

    hi,
    sorry to tell u that i am not able to find the right suggestion/ solution in previous posts in this forum. my problem is like this:
    I am running oracle database (11g) on windows 2003 server. my oracle client (9i) is accessing database on that server. if the server is on a simple LAN, all the clients are able to login and the connection is lasting fine. recently, the server is configured in a VPN. now the clients are not able to sustain the connection for long time, the connection is getting dropped within minutes. whats the problem with VPN? even though the cluster configuration (VPN) is said to be done properly, whats going to be the problem?
    my client side application is with VC++ and using ODBC for accessing database. with oracle Net Configuration Assistant, the connection is working fine even on VPN, but when my application is trying to access the database over VPN, the connection seems to be intermoittent. please suggest me in this regard. thank you in advance.
    swamy.

  • Slow Broadband Connection Speed

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice please.  Thanks.
    I have a BT Home Hub 2. I have had it for about 4 years. I have generally always received a very good stable broadband with speeds that are acceptable for my use. 
    About 5 weeks I started to have problems with the broadband connection dropping out several times a day and then the wifi signal being intermittent.  I put up with it for a while but then decided to contact Customer Services.
    After several phone calls to Customer Services I had replaced all filters and wiring and plugged my router directly into the Exchange socket in the wall. None of this made the slightest bit of difference.
    Finally, about two weeks ago, I was asked to replace the router with another one which I did.  This made an immediate improvement. I was told that it would then take about 10 days for my line to stabilise but I should see a gradual improvement in the speed over that time.
    Since then the speed has actually gradually deteriorated and for the last couple of days it has been running at 0.6mbps (the slowest it’s run since the problems first started).
    I’ve spoken again to the Customer Services who say that this is part of the stabilisation process and to be patient for a few more days and it will improve.
    I’m not an expert but is the guidance I am being giving correct or am I being giving the round around? It just seems odd that the connection is getting worse not better.  Am I perhaps just being too impatient and will it start to get better?
    I’d appreciate any advice please.
    Thanks.

  • HT1595 BT Home Hub1 drops broadband connection with Apple TV 3

    Hi.
    Just got Apple TV3 home and set up which was easy to start, but as soon as I try to homeshare my BT broadband connection drops and needs reset - using home hub 1. Is there a settings fix or is a new router the only option?
    Thanks,
    Col.

    Hi.
    Have checked my firmware which is up to date and have also disabled my firewall to check if it was creating problems but no change. BT channel change not helped yet but could take 12 hours to activate. Broadband works perfectly until I attempt to open any Apple TV application then it drops. Also I mistakenly quoted I have Home Hub 1 but I actually have HH2. Channel change might help but tbh I don't hold out much hope.
