Broadband dropping connection and hub systematical...

I have just got off the fone ( which is the only thing that works correctly ) to a helpdesk advisor who i had trouble understanding or getting to understand me and im none the wiser over my problem
i have been having problems with the broadband connection for a while now but thought it was getting somewhere 6 weeks ago when an engineer was actually tasked with coming to my premises -----praise be there are still ppl employed to physically come and check and repair faults!!!!
he came and checked and replaced cables and sockets and checked the line and i was left with downspeeds of over 6mbs wen it was less than 1 and the signal strength was turned up at the exchange after being turned off????
he said it would take time to settle down and if faults still occured to ring back and put another fault in which i have done.
i was asked about microfilters and how many i said no physical ones as the sockets have built in and went through everything stating it was all done by a BT engineer so all physical connections are correct the only assumption i can now come up with are the hub itself at fault ---- hh2 ---4yrs old --- or the line at the exchange which was touted before and told there was a posible fault.
can someone from BT who may well look at this please do someting about it????
telling me that they are changing settings and it will take 24hrs to settle is not wat i want to hear as iv been all through it only weeks ago
and why would the hub turn itself off and restart thats not settings surely
thank you in anticipation of some assistance of some sort

My airport will sporadically drop connection and cause my network to fall

My airport extreme will suddenly without warning drop connection and have the blinking yellow/orangeish light. Sometimes it only lasts for a few seconds other times it will last for a few minutes. I have looked at my cable modem and it is still working fine with all indicator lights up and blinking in sequence as they should be. Just wondering what is causing this? It has caused for a lot of problems as I have uninstalled and totally reset up my entire network, which has caused me to not be able to install my printer to be used over the network wirelessly. I am at my wits end and about 2 more hours away from just doing a time machine reset to a month ago when things were working optimally. Only thing is everythign that I have downloaded to my itunes will be lost.

No, my airport is over a year old, I have been using this one since May or April of last year. First time I have had any problems out of it. And I refuse to pay money to have an apple service tech tell me there is nothing that can be done.

My magic mouse dropped connection and now won't pair with the mac. When I search for it, it finds the mouse but just won't connect. Any ideas?

What is the difference between dropping-connection and reset?

Hi, Im currently studying HTTP MPF (ASA feature) ,
im just wondering about the difference between dropping-connection and reset (TCP)
can you please tell me how it drop and how it reset ? ?? specific process of it ( eg, TCP handshake, etc)
thanks in advance. !

Reset sends a tcp response with the rst flag set. Drop sends no response.

Broadband Dropping Out and Connection Speed Decrea...

Sorry to be a pain but I am back here again.
Since the last issue with speed, connection drop out and noisey line which required an underground cable to be partly replaced, all has been fantastic and no problem to report. Many thanks to those who were involved in helping with getting that issue resolved.
About 10 days ago the broadband started to drop out at random times but not too often. The broadband hub light would go out for about 15 seconds before returning. My connection would automatically resume and no great problem. It has since become more of a problem and pain.
The frequency of drop out increased with a sort of pattern. Last week an example would be drop out at 11:50 am, again at 12:40 and once more at 1:30 pm. Each time the connection returned my computer icon for wifi would be a warning triangle. I clicked on the icon and would get a message 'limited connection'. The only way I could connect again would be to click the icon and select to disconnect and then connect, making sure a 'tick' was in the box for autoconnection. A bit more of a pain than before but usable. It got more of a problem over the next few days.
The frequency of drop out increased. This became a right pain when trying to purchase things online as I could not be sure in the purchase had been completed or if I tried again would I get two lots? Upon broadband connection returning I would not be able to 'auto connect' but would get the warning triangle of 'limited connection'. I tried the click to disconnect and reconnect but it failed to work. I ended up shutting down the laptop, waiting before powering up. This failed to work as all I would get is the warning triangle and 'limited connection'. The only way I could reconnect was to press the 'restart' button. This worked but it got worse.
The next day the broadband connection would drop out every couple of hours. It got to the point that even pressing the 'restart' button would not allow me to connect. I tried three times and gave up. I had to resort to pressing the very small 'reset' button on the back. This cured the problem for about 12 hours before the drop outs started again.
It is now a case of 50/50 if I can connect to the broadband again after a drop out. It is getting quite frustrating. I only used the small 'reset' as a last resort. I have noticed that the speed of the connection has started to drop down also.
Each time the hub drops broadband and I can auto connect and do not press any hub button, the timer has reset to zero days and zero hours. I know it takes about a week for the connection to settle. I do wonder if these drop outs are messing the connection settings for my line speed? The line used to be rated at 21 Mbps but has decreased to 17 Mbps, my actual connection used to be 19 Mbps but struggles to reach 14 Mbps. It is slowly dropping with each and every drop out.
I also looked at the event log in the hub. Just before each broadband drop out I see a external connection is made with the initials 'CWMP' followed by 'event code 1 boot' or 'event code 6 connection request' or 'event code 4 value change'. Straight after the broadband connection drops out with out fail.
All I can seem to find out is that the external connection is either the hub connecting to the server or vice versa? As for the codes? I have no idea at all.
I only ever resort to pressing 'restart' if I cannot connect to my hub. I have only pressed the 'reset' as a last resort as nothing else worked to allow me to reconnect.
Can anyone offer any help or best a permanent fix?

I connected to the test socket and used a wired connection for the speed test and hub stats.
The hub position and run of cables are the same as when the last engineer advised as the best set up.
Since my last post I have checked the event log and 'CWMP' has made at least two remote connections but the hub did not drop broadband connection. The broadband has been stable but just slower than usual, as you stated due to the drop outs/disconnections.
I guess a case of wait and monitor to see if the problem has resolved itself?
Will the speed automatically return to the usual 18 to 19 Mbps? or will something else have to be done to reset it at the exchange/server?
Here are the hub stats from this morning.

Any more I can do to stop dropping connections and...

I'm hoping someone here can give me some pointers.
About a month ago my broadband speeds started dropping off and disconnecting. I contacted BT and they said it was an issue with my home wiring as there was no fault they could see. Despite the fact that with the hub connected to the test socket I was getting the same results. As I need the internet for my studies I agreed to an engineer's visit. He came the following week and said it was an issue with the exchnage and there was damp in the wires at the pole. He replaced the master socket with one of the new split sockets and said after 10 days it would all be up to speed.
Well surprise surprise, it's not.
I spent a long time on the Phone today and again I was told there was no fault they could see and it had to be my internal wiring and I should upgrade to fibre optic (not really helpful as it will still come down the same old wires from the cabinet to my house). My home hub 3 is plugged directly into the master socket now so I don't see how it can be my wiring. Again I will have an engineer coming out next week. In the meantime, is there anything else I can do to improve my connection?
I'll attach the speedtest result and my adsl noise thing. I've noticed the noise margin is going down which I'm assuming is a good thing although I only discovered this after reading the forums in the last hour or so, so can't compare it to before. The upload speed has been consistent at about 0.5 to 2Mbps for the last four days with a download profile of 2Mbps when it hasn't dropped off (I'm paying for 17Mbps btw, though I seldom get more than 8 or 9).
Look forward to getting some help on this!
Solved!

OK, now connected to the test socket and not much change though the down noise margin is a bit lower.

Broadband Dropping connection, fixed but now gamin...

Hi
Last Sunday our broadband connection was dropping every 15 or so minutes, I called BT and reported the fault. The lady asked me to remove the cover from our BT wall socket and plug the ADSL modem into a diagnostic socket but there was no socket visible after removing the wall plate. She then did a line check and confirmed a problem with the line at the house and an engineer would call me at 9am the next day.
9am on the dot I got a call from the same lady asking if the problem still persisted as they had made some changes. I left a ping test running which gave me a 100% success rate over 20 or so minutes (previous day it was 19% success rate over the same time). So she said they think its fixed and to keep an eye on the line over the next few days.
So, I think the line noise has been cleared up (about 8 months ago I asked for interleaving to be disabled), so the broadband isn't dropping it's connection but now my gaming pings have gone up and latency is awfull, I play Call of Duty Black Ops almost every night so any change in my connection is quite noticicble. People kill me before I even see them and its so frustrating that I can't play like this, not good when your in a clan.
I assume they put Interleaving back on to fix the problem of dropping connections? but now the older gaming problem is back.
Any help is much appreciated.

your noise margin is still a bit high at 12 as normal is about 6 and when the margin drops you should be up to 8mb being max for adslmax
can you run btspeedtester and post the results

BT Broadband Dropping Connection

I have been using my boradband since january with no problems at all.But now the hub v2 drops the connection every 5-10 minutes.I had bt perform a line test and they said that everything seemed to be ok.I tried another router and the problem was the same.I tried the test socket and this was ok too.I replaced an adaptor which I thought might be the problem and it seemed to of worked for a while but then it stared doing it again.
It is a wired connection and my speeds are the same as always.
Can someone help please. I have added this info below if this helps...

Hi Robbie,
Sounds like a spanner in the works here.
Could you have look through this link for me as there is some good info here on devices around the home that can cause this sort of thing.
Are the drops impacting your download speed/IP profile?
Run a test via www.speedtester.bt.com and post your hub stats from http://bthomehub.home and we'll see whats up.
Cheers
Craig

Airport Extreme problems--drops connection and can't change password

Hi, I am having multiple problems with my Airport Extreme (n) base station. All of these problems occur on all three of my machines. MacBook Pro 2007 model, MacBook Pro i7 2.66, and iMac 24".
1. Sometimes the airport connection works, but then drops off for hours at a time with no explanation, and then starts working again by itself. The green light is lit all the time. Also the airport bars on my menu bar are showing that it's connected. However when I go through diagnostics it says I don't have a connection and to restart the modem, which I do to no avail.
2. When it is connected, there is often strange download activity (shown via istats menu), even when no applications are open. It's around 200k. When I turn the airport off the downloading stops. This only happens via airport base station connection, not when connected via ethernet.
3. I have tried numerous times to reset my AE base station password via airport utility. I go through the process. It tells me the configuration changes were successful and then it restarts the base station. When I reconnect the airport connection, it still uses the old password. I cannot get it to actually accept the new password.
Does anyone have similar experiences? I am not sure what to do and have not seen any simiar threads in the forum.
Thanks for any help,
lula

Yes, I am pretty sure it isn't that. That modem and it's connection works fine, but it's on the other side of the house.
These various problems (connection dropping, mysterious download when no apps are on, and not being able to change password) all started about two months ago, before that I never had problems with the airport. I have had the same ADSL modem (provided by my phone/cable company) the whole time.
What possible problems do you think the provided modem could cause?
And why am I not be able to change my airport password? That part really puzzles me.
Do you think if I bought a new modem--one completely independent and not connected to a particular isp it would solve the problem. I am willing to try that, but I don't know if it will make a difference.

Skype drops connection and cannot reconnect after network change

Whenever I switch between wifi and cable or if I enable my VPN, the skype connection drops and does not reconnect. The problem is not the VPN though because when on VPN I can Quit Skype, and reopen it and then it will connect. The same applies when switching between wifi and cable. Having to quit and restart skype everytime I switch really sucks, its supposed to be more "rugged" i would think.

Guys tell you that when they quit Skype and start it again, it connects well! It means nothing to do with local IT configuration. The problem started few months ago. There is a proxy configuration for VPN defined in Skype settings and it always worked fine, switching connection accordingly to the network. Now it loses connection when we switch between VPN and regular network and vice versa. The Skype restart is required each time to restore connection and it is REALY annoying.
If you claimed it worked differently before what changed on your end? Does it behave differently in an older version of Skype (harder to test since they're discontinuing older versions)? Most people who connect to a VPN use a VPN client to do so like the Windows PPTP VPN, Cisco VPN client, etc.. People use varying VPN servers and VPN client versions and they can behave differently. If users have a Proxy server they define that in the Proxy configuration. I've personally never attempted authenticating to a VPN server using the Skype's proxy configuration in connection settings. Split-tunneling is one setting that affects how traffic is handled and can produce a different result. I wish I could tell you there is one solution to your problem. If you determine the process differed in a earlier release, it would be helpful to post the last release it behaved in the fashion you are accustomed to. A contact of mine uses a VPN connection and toggles it on and off especially when we have bandwidth related issue. That does disrupt his Skype connection momentarily but he hasn't had to ever completely exit Skype. However he relies on the VPN client and does not place that authentication information in the proxy configuration.

Airport extreme keeps dropping connection and its driving me crazy

Alright so I have an airport extreme, and I have been having these "dropping out" problems for a long time now. For about 20 seconds, the internet signal is at maximum strength, then for some reason just completely drops for a few seconds then comes back. So basically if I am doing anything like playing a game online or talking on aim it just drops out for a few seconds then comes back. It's driving me mental.
The airport is not far at all from my computer, and we do have 2.4ghz phones, but over at my other house, we have a linksis wireless setup, and my computer is much farther away and there are also 2.4ghz phones there, and it doesn't drop out at all.
I have tried hard resets, changing the airport channel it's on, downgrading to previous airport versions... I know it's not my computer because it does it with both our macs in the house.
If someone can help me fix this it would be very greatly appreciated.

SOMEONE FROM APPLE PLEASE HELP US!
Well I've got the same issues with an n (WDS Main), two extremes (1 WDS Relay and 1 WDS Remote) and 1 express (WDS Remote). The n keeps logging this (the MAC is of the WDS Relay extreme):
Nov 02 20:27:14 Severity:5 Deauthenticating with station 00:11:24:9d:74:91 (reserved 2).
and the WDS Relay keeps logging this (the MAC is of the WDS Main n):
Nov 02 21:01:06 Severity:5 Deauthenticated with station 00:11:24:23:15:d4 (authentication invalidated).
This seems to have begun with a firmware update of the n (7.2.1) and now the n constantly goes from a green status icon in AirPort Utility to an orange one and reports a WDS Error about not finding any other WDS units. Then it switches back to green. At the same time all the base stations disappear from the AirPort Utility and then come back after turning the AirPort on and off on my powerbook menu bar. Cycling the AirPort from the munu bar also restores lost internet connectivity. The actual network connectivity via the WDS network seems to stay up because I have a VOIP box attached to the WDS Remote extreme and don't loose phone service. While I'd like to get the issues reported by the n and the extremes solved at this point I'd settle for finding a way to not loose network connectivity (not the actual AirPort connection) from my PowerBook every 4 or 5 minutes. The syslog on the PowerBook shows:

Wifi Suddenly Dropped Connection and won't work

My iPad suddenly lost connection to my Wifi and asked me to enter my password again to join it. So I did and suddenly none of my internet would work. I tried resetting/restoring my iPad and the network setting as well as messing about with the DNS settings. None worked.
I went into wifi. Chose the network and clicked on the blue dot open the options. I pressed Forget this network and went to rejoin it.
This is where I realised how daft I was being.
I have on the stickies section of my MacBook the WEP password for my wifi. However I had recently changed it so had both the new and old passwords on the stickies.
I had been entering the old password. However the iPad had accepted this and not gave me any error messages until I could not get onto safari. As the iPad was showing Wifi signal with full bars at times it never occured to me to try the other password.
Anyway. I did. and. It worked. Notice other people have this problem. May be that they are as daft as me.

Hi-
Lovely story, and one that I am sure many, willing to admit or not, have experienced.
I know that I am guilty of the same, with regard to the wife's iPhone.
The entire time, I muttered, "What did YOU do?", when it was, in fact, me entering the old password.
D'oh!!
Thanks for sharing!

Broadband drop out

My broadband drops out and all the lights flash. Just joined netflix and we can't watch anything as it just keeps buffering.
At that point I check the bt home hub v2 b and the lights are going crazy. Also at night when I am checking my emails on my tablet the connection will just drop out. I've lost count the many times I've reset the hub. I've pulled all cables and turned off all the things that uses wifi.
I've checked bt for b/b faults and my area code is not in a fault area.
Is it time the hub was changed to the latest bt hub , my sister lives 500yds away she has no problem with the latest bt hub. We have a bt vision box and can never get bbciplayer and other channels on the box.
Can anyone suggest my net move or should I have a rant at bt?
Paul
Solved!
Go to Solution.

when was the last time you renewed your contract? if more than 12 months then you are on a rolling monthly contract and any discount you had has ceased. you could save monet by phoning the uk based options team and negotiate a new contract cheaper and at same time get a new hub thrown in options team 0800800030
the hh2 is old and has known problems
