BT Homehub 2.0 Dropping all connections. Wired and...

Hi All
I recently joined BT a couple of months ago after being with Virgin. I was very happy with the speeds up the service to begin. Then the homehub started dropping all connections, both wireless and wired. This would happen about once or twice per day and the only way to get the connections back would be to power off the homehub. The lights remained all blue and there was no apparently connection issues after ringing through to support. After a few calls to BT they agreed that the router was faulty.
I then received a replacement hub, and after connecting it, I found that it was even worse. It lost all connections about every 20 minutes to the point where I had to hook up the one I was about to return to BT.
I have read similar threads, but nothing has been able to solve my problem. I have checked the channels and tried changing them, although I was the only router on a particular channel to begin with.
I am about to ring up BT tomorrow to request yet another homehub. Before I do I was hoping that someone would be able to help. In the entire time I was with Virgin for 2 years, I think I lost connection maybe 2 or 3 times over 2 years with their supplied netgear router. This is why I really feel the fault is with the router and not the line. I am not against just buying a new router, so any suggestions that people have used with BT would also help.
See below for my router ADSL settings and also speed test results.

AE Dropping all connections randomly and then rebooting.

The problem I am having is my Airport Express will randomly drop all incoming and outgoing connections. This usually happens when I am running AirPlay via my AppleTV and using the internet at the same time. I only have a 1Mbs/s speed. I was watching American Gangster yesterday and redownloading my music on itunes, and suddenly it drops and gives the "You need to be connected to home sharing" then it switches and says I am not longer connected to the internet, then a few moments later it connected again. This IS the AE right? It has to be if the internet is cutting out as well, it wouldn't be just the Mac's Airport card. Should I just get it replaced?

I have a Galaxy S3 and love this phone but here at my new home which has absolutely no trees of bushes blocking anything, my phone calls are dropped ALL THE TIME and it's driving me crazy. Verizon finally said that they would come out and boost the signal but haven't seen anyone in two weeks. I have called Verizon tech help for one year to get help with this, either trade phone or something. I am so frustrated! I picked Verizon for the clear calls and coverage inside hospitals and buildings but it's been terrible. I have had three of these phones replaced. I need a different model like the S4 or the S5 I think cause it's something in this model.

Verizon is quickly becoming the worst cell phone company out there. To read all of these pleas from your loyal customers is just so sad and pitiful. You need to be sued for your data overage charges that you are intentionally imploding on your customers. They have pleaded, very intelligently, with you to do something to fix the issue and you willingly have NOT. As is with my reception issue that I was promised a signal booster for two months ago, so is this issue with the data. You don't follow up and solve the issues. Therefore the courts will find you fraudulent. When I was promised by your super tech that I needed a signal booster and he was sending it out overnight at no charge to me, I was relieved that it would finally be taken care of so I wouldn't lose faith with Verizon. Well, that was two months ago now with no record of it ever being ordered or on my file anywhere. I have since called three more times with hours of conversations about that issue and two more techs have told me they were sending me a signal booster with no follow up what so ever. WOW! That's pitiful! You may not care now, oh but you will later when you lose lots of money and business.

BT HomeHub 3 keeps dropping Broadband connection a...

For the last three years I've been having issues with BT HomeHubs dropping broadband connection and we still haven't been able to find a permanent fix. When it first started it only happened maybe once ever to months so it was never too much of an issue. As time progressed these broadband drops started to become more frequent, there was never a pattern, but you could be using the Internet for hours with out any issue then suddenly it would start to lose and gain connection every few minutes for 30 minutes to an hour. This became ridiculous in the end so we proceed to get an engineer in to check everything out. At the time I was using a HomeHub 2 and it was decided by the engineer that it was an issue with the modem so they were all replaced. This solution fixed the connection issues for a few months, but then they started again. So after another year had gone by, with the issues just as bad as before we got another Engineer in. This was about a year ago from the time this post is being written. Apparently even though we had been paying for Unlimited Broadband since the first engineers visit there was something at the exchange that was capping the amount of usage and this was causing the sporadic broadband drops. We later heard that the problem at the exchange had been fixed and at the same time we upgraded to a BT HomeHub 3 as if I recall it would also help,as well as making the engineers visit free of charge. So a year later and I still have problems with losing my broadband connection. I must say it's not as bad as before, but it can get very irritating when the drops follow each other in quick succession. It really would be nice to find a fix for this once and for all. Every time we get in contact with BT we always get asked the same questions over and over until eventually we have to get an engineer out so I thought enquiring on the forums might be a better idea. I'm sure I can't be the only one with these issues that's for sure.
Just to be clear I have gone through everything on the Broadband connection list multiple times.
1. I've turned my hub of and all devices of periods of more than an hour with no success.
2. Just checked again and there is no problem with the Broadband or any other BT services in my area.
3. No issues with my phone line.
4. All the power cables are plugged in properly, but as I never have issues with the power dropping or the hub restarting I'm not sure how much this would matter.
5. The wireless has never dropped and even using an ethernet cable the problem still persists.
6. Connection trouble shouting find no issues and just tells be to get in contact with BT.
7. My Hub is usually connection to the Test socket as it's the one located in the room where we have our PC. I've tried using the main one and the problem still persists.
8. Well I hope someone here has the answer to my problems.

WRT54GS Randomly Dropping All Connections

I have had problems with my WRT54GS v6 router for several weeks. It has gotten progressively worse, and all communications with tech support have only provided temporary resolution to the problem.
About every 2-4 hours, I will lose network connection on all of my hard-wired and wireless devices (4 hard-wired computers and 2 wireless devices). Once I power cycle the router, the connections will be restored, but drop again after 2-4 hours. When I lose the network connections, I obviously lose my ability to ping the router (pings will state "request timed out" during this time).
I have upgraded the firmware, changed the frequency from the factory default several times, and have renamed the SSID as I was instructed to do by Linksys. However, nothing seems to permanently resolve the issue.
Does anybody have any links to info or other posts that I can try, or any ideas on what I do in an attempt to resolve the issue? I have been thinking about going and buying a new router, but want to exhaust all options prior to doing so.

Are you using any peer-to-peer (P2P) software? If so, this is a known cause for router slowdowns and disconnections.
Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses on your network? If so, please list all the fixed addresses that you are using. Are you using the default DHCP server range of 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 ? If not, then please state your DHCP server range.
Are you using cable or DSL?
You said you have had problems for several weeks. Is that when you installed the router - several weeks ago? Has the router ever worked correctly?
Do you have wireless security setup on the router?

E1000 Drops All Connections Every 30-60 Minutes

I recently bought a refurbished E1000 wireless router from Amazon, and from the first day I've had recurring connection issues with it. Every half hour or so it will lose all of its connections (wireless and ethernet) and requires a hard reset. After resetting, all connections are good for a little while but then the problem occurs again. When plugged directly into my modem (Motorola SB6121), my internet access is completely fine.
The router has the latest firmware as far as I know (2.1.02 build 5 May 6, 2011), and I've tried to change several settings (MTU to 1400, Fragmentation Threshold to 2306, etc) but to no avail. Does anybody have any suggestions to help fix this issue? I'd be happy to supply more information if it helps.

You'll have to try and isolate the issue. Could be the modem, could be your isp, or could be the linksys.
http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Connectivity-and-Modem-Help/Having-issues-with-your-Motorola-SB6121-Ple...
If your motorola SB6121 breaks it's highspeed connection even for a moment, the modem will drop out of bridge and turn it's DHCP server on and mess things up.
You can ask your ISP to monitor/log your connection and see if anything is happening.

WRT54G2 keeps dropping connection, wired and wireless

I have a Scientific Atlanta modem with WRT54G2 wireless router. Both are around 2 years old. In the past few months, I keep getting periodic connection drop, couple times a day, day on day off. I have 2 wired connections and 3 wireless connections to the router. I check with my internet provider, Cox, they say my connection is fine. So I guess it's the router or modem problem.
The funny thing is when connection drop, I cannot access any web sites via wired and wireless. However, my downloads in iTune are still running fine at full speed. I have to unplug and replug both router and modem for it to work again.
Is there a way to fix this? or do i need to buy a new router or modem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's possible that Cox only recognizes the router's MAC address, probably the reason why you can't connect directly.
Anyway, try to lower the MTU settings on the router.

Re: BT HomeHub 3 keeps dropping Broadband connecti...

I feel for you and good luck getting the problem resolved - sorry but I am in the same boat but this is our story.
We had a seperate phone/ADSL line just for broadband and had a business package. We were sold, and guaranteed in writing, a min speed of 5.3mbps which never ever happened - best was 2.2mbps, worst was 0.17mbps. Line kept dropping, repairs took weeks instead of the 36hrs promised. This went on for 5 years until I sued BT through the County Court and won. BT said they would defend until 2 days prior to hearing then tried to settle. Judge found fully in my favour.
Gave up additional line, business package and just went with a domestic phone/broadband package. Had the socket moved centrally in the house and BT installed new cable from socket right out to pole connecting to network. I was told expected speed would be 3.5mbps and indeed it was - life was good until BT Openreach started playing with cables down the road. Ever since, line has been noisy, broadband drops out every 15-20mins and speed reduced to under 2mbps. I have had two engineers out (we know most in the area by their Christian names now) and both have said the whole estate of 94 houses needs re-wiring. we have aluminium cables, old junction boxes etc etc. Every Openreach engineer we've spoken to groans when they get a job in the area as they know that, until its re-cabled, it is just useless. They have confirmed 100% that problem is not on our property.
I have complained to standard broadband help desk, level 2 helpdesk and Manager but all I get is "we'll send an engineer out" which they do, he tries to fix it, doesn't succeed and we start again. They won't let us speak to Openreach management so my only option is to issue proceedings against BT so they in turn, can put pressure on Openreach. Am also trying my MP but don't hold out much hope there.
We are only 3miles from the UK's 2nd busiest airport so not exactly the hebrides.
Sound familiar?

John46
I understand that Openreach do not deal directly with the public but, if all BT as my provider do, is just keep calling out an engineer who does not improve the problem and we go around in circles, then what am I supposed to do? If Virgin, Talk Talk or Sky were my provider, then the situation would be the same. I am in the process of downloading (when it works) the Annual Return from Companies House for both BT and BT Openreach and will write to each of the Directors at their home address and continue doing so until one day, something is done about the situation.
It must cost Openreach £300 each time an engineer comes out - multiply that by the number of houses having problems and the frequency of visits and I would estimate it is costing them well over £100k each year. I also presume that the £1300 I was awarded by the Court against BT was also claimed back from Openreach. As they say in the U.S., so the Math[s].

E4200 Constantly Drops Connections (Wired and Wireless)

My E4200 seems to be dropping connections throughout the day. For wireless it'll still show full signal and connection, but there will be no internet activity for about a minute. Then after a minute things will work just fine again.
For wired I notice it in my XBox mainly when I get dropped from games as constant as the wireless drops.
I believe my modem isn't the problem since the old router never dropped connections on the hard wired devices. Occasionally my old D-Link router would drop wireless, but never this frequent
I am running 1.0.02. I've rebooted the router/modem several times. I even reinstalled the entire setup with the current version of Cisco Connect as the tech person suggested, but still no help. The first week or so using this router was flawless, but ever since then it's been dropping connections several times throughout the day to any device connected (wireless or wired). The problem seems that the router just hiccups the connection very quickly, so quickly that Windows doesn't even recognize the connection has been lost, but long enough to drop a multiplayer game on XBox or to have me mashing refresh on my internet browsers.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I have not had this problem with my router and have had it since Feb 2011. I did have a range extender from WNR2000RPT Netgear that I had to reboot everyday and finally threw it away and bought the Linksys RE1000. The combination is flawless in my 3000sqft. house. I will say though it may have to do with your setup and what channels you are on. I have my router setup just for wireless and not as a DHCP server and let my FIOS router handle DHCP. Just so I am not running 2 seperate networks in the house. I also gave my E4200 a static IP as well as the Range Extender static IP. So there would not be IP address conflicts that could cause for possible issues. I did have a problem with the latest firmware disabling my USB for my external hard drive so I had to downgrade to resolve that issue.

Airport Extreme 802.11G often drops all connections after a client leaves

After I disconnect one of my computers from the network. The network drops every remaining connection a few minutes later. If I try to reconnect I get a "Connection Timeout". I have to power cycle the Extreme to fix the problem. I first noticed it a few months ago when shutting down my work PC but it recently happens when I switch to another network from my MBP.
Running latest firmware 5.7 and OS with IPV6 off
Any ideas why this happens after a computer leaves the network? Very frustrating..... The lights still blink as normal during this state.

Just shutdown 2 pcs and it happened again. The middle light in on solid, the right one is flashing, the left one is off.

My Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client drops the connection suddently and is unable to re-connect until I restart my laptop

Hello all,
My company has deployed AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.1.04059 and we use Windows 7
The client works fine most of the time, but all of a sudden the connection drops. I can see both the Windows Network and Sharing Center and Cisco AnyConnect suddenly disconnected. This happens most of the times that I change to another location with a different wi-fi network. With my past Windows 2003 and AnyConnect versions (not sure which one that was), the VPN connection would be recovered shortly after re-connecting to the new wi-fi, but with this version it will never allow me to connect to the new wi-fi. Sometimes, if I use the troubleshoot manager from Windows, it will reset my network adapter and that will allow me to connect to the new wi-fi network. Most of the times it won't.
In those cases, I need to close all programs, log off and log back into Windows. Some other times that will not work either and I will need to restart the whole machine. Restarting the Anyconnect related services alone does not help.
I am worried because today I lost the connection all of a sudden in my own home, while any other device could easily connect to the wifi. Anyconnect will simply say that it is unable to connect. After many tests I had to reset the computer.
Am I the only one seeing this problem? Any advice anyone can give me?
Thanks in advance,
Antonio

So it seems that I was barking at the wrong tree :)
After a bit more research on-line, I found that changing the Power management options for the Wireless network adapter resolved the problem.
I went to Control Panel> Device Manager> right-click on Wireless Network Adapter> Properties > Power Management tab > Uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'
So far so good. Hope this helps others.
Best,
Antonio

My Verizon MI424WR router resets and drops all client connections without my intervention

I have noticed my devices lose their Verizon MI424WR router and Internet connection (wired and wireless alike) for some time now (months) on a regular basis. Sometimes multiple times a day and at different times of the day. You typically have to be actively using a device to notice these events. I have one client that will display an "Internet Connection Restored" message until I return to view it and I can see that this happens quite frequently overnight when there is minimal Internet usage. During a recent "outage" I quickly ran to the router to find it was in the process of rebooting, however, I did not perform any direct actions (e.g., cycling the power or applying admin config changes) that would have caused it.
What is/could be the cause of this? Is Verizon support pushing silent router maintenance updates that require resets? Am I exceeding the maximum TCP connections the firmware will allow before faulting to reboot? I require high availability and uninterrupted connections and would prefer to know the routers limitations or when any remote automated maintenance requiring resets will be occurring if that is in fact the cause.

My router routinely runs for months between resets, which are caused by me needing to move a cable or a similar. Only once did I notice a reset due to a Verizon update, and that was when the firmware was updated a year or so ago.
You can check the router's up time on the "system monitoring" web page. This will let you know when the last reset occurred.
You should not see resets unless you cause them. The symptoms you describe are not typical. You might need a new router. If you think so, contact Verizon support.
Good Luck.
