BT HUB5 Drops wireless & LAN connections 01/01/201...

Hello
Wireless and LAN connections has been working perfectly fine when i first signed up to the complete BT package (broadband,phone,TV) in September 2014. During the beginning of January 2015 to now February 11/02/2015 my wireless connection drops out in the morning and evening multiple times 5am-7am at least 3 times in the morning and at least 5 times at night 6-12. This drop out also affects LAN connections even though the BT HUB 5 is still lit blue, there is no fault light, once or twice I seen the fault light.
I cannot not browse the internet and use Netflix’s etc because the wireless connection drops out regularly. I have spoken to BT’s Global Service Desk who reported there is a problem, however a UK call centre engineer confirms there is no problem and the issue lies with ‘Interference’ and their excuse was it was probably conflicting with other wireless devices which is total nonsense.
I have checked with my neighbours and they have not bought any new devices or changed anything which would conflict with wireless connections, including kitchen appliances. I also have followed BT advise and switch everything off and on again, reset the router back to default, they have reset their end, changed the wireless channel etc. still get the same issues.
Everything has been working fine up until January so something has changed on BT’s end to cause regular problems which affects LAN and Wireless connections. Many sources on the internet suggest firmware and line testing for faults like on their BT HUB5. BT suggest there are no problems and everything is working fine and they have no problems on their end. I’m still waiting for a solution from BT……?; an issue like this would have been resolved or never happened with SKY and Virgin fibre connections.
Please can someone help and adviise best practice to get my BT HUB5 working again properly or suggest what BT must do to pull there fingers out and take ownership of this issue. Many thanks.

Sorry to hijack someone else's thread but I seem to be experiencing exactly the same issue.
Service was installed around about Sept last year and has been fine until the last few weeks when the same wireless drops started to occur.  I have no new equipment connected, but all devices experience the problem.
Having looked at my HH5 version, I'm on the same:
BT Home Hub 5 (Type A) | Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.204 | Last updated 21/01/15
I noticed the update date of 21/1/15 which probably coincides with when the problem started, so I wondered if there might be a known issue with this software version?
Thanks

  • Wifi connection drops but LAN connection is fine

    A strange one.
    I have both WiFi and LAN connections to my HH3 for different computers
    The LAN connection is always fine - good speed, no drop-outs, etc
    The WiFi connection however is a nightmare.  It works for a few hours and then the computer drops the internet connection.
    It is not the WiFi connection to the HH3 as I can still get to the HH3 web page but any internet address gets a "DNS not found" error.
    In this state, the LAN connection still works fine.  I can browse the Internet fine just not from a WiFi connection.
    The only solution is to reset the HH3 fully (a disconnect/reconnect of the internet connection doesn't help)
    Any ideas?

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you need to change the wireless channel on your HH3.
    If you're on Windows then you're going to need inssider 2 or if you're using a Mac, then you'll need to download istumbler
    Download whichever one of those is appropriate to your OS and do a scan for wireless networks close to you and you will be able to see which networks are operating on which channels and change to a less congested channel, if need be
    I hope this info helps

  • Iphone 4 Wireless LAN connection

    I have an Iphone 4 and the Actiontec Router.
    Recently if I leave my home and then return, my Iphone will connect to the wireless but I am unable to get email or do anything that uses the Internet via the wireless.  I have installed a Ping application on my iphone and when I ping the default gateway (192.168.1.1) it times out.  When I turn off wireless and then re-enable it works fine.  
    Additionally if I don't use my phone for sometime it will do the same thing, I cannot get my email unless I disable and re-enable wireless.  Anyone experience this problem or know of a work around?
    I am using WPA2 AES, 802.11G only and automatic channel selection.  I don't have any problems with laptops connected via wireless.  I have also tried used Static IP addressing but that didn't do anything either.
    Thanks, Jim

    yes.  It get 192.168.1.5 for example and then DG and DNS of 192.168.1.1
    My ping program shows me the IP address of 3G and wireless LAN.
    Even if I ping 4.2.2.1 it will time out.  If I disable wireless and ping 4.2.2.1 it works.  Everything begins to work. Then if I re-enable wireless I can then ping my DG and 4.2.2.1 and get email, etc.
    Just seems to happen mostly when I leave for a while then return home.

  • Wireless Lan connection issue with Linux clients

    Hi
    In a large Wireless Lan enviroment for a university, we have 3 WISM moduls attached on a 6k hw - Manged by ACS v6.0.181.0
    We recently upgraded the software version of the controllers from 4.x to 7.0.98.0 - the Emergency Image version is 5.2.157.0
    Since then, the students with Linux clients have massive connection issue - repeated connection lost in a short time period.
    However the students with Windows clients have no problem at all.
    The studends report, that their linux clients getting so much of some kind of unnecessary broadcast traffic which can not be handled by the NIC - and the NIC goes down - and this happens all 5-10 minutes.
    Affected Linux clients are: Ubuntu v10.10 - also OpenSuse, Fedora and Arch-linx with latest OS version.
    Any Idea how I could solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi Nicolas
    Thanks for your reply. The broadcast forwarding is disabled on WLC's.
    Pls find below the attached picture, which shows the captured broadcast traffic on a linux client (sent by a student to me).
    I'm not sure, if its really only the broadcast traffic, which the linux clients can not handle.
    From my point of view, it seems also to be that the linux clients are somehow disadvantaged among the other clients like windows or mac, if they all trying to get a wireless connection.
    But the fact is only the linux clients are affected - and this happens to the linux clients only in our wireless infrastructure.
    Windows or Mac clients have no such problem at all

  • IPhone drops wireless network connection

    My iPhone can't keep a wireless connection. I can establish the connection as indicated by the wireless network icon, but within less than a minute it reverts to the 3G network icon.
    I've tried numerous times to establish a persistent connection, to no avail. During one of those attempts I received an error message "could not scan for wireless networks." I haven't seen anyone else here get that message.
    Any ideas what is going on?

    I suggest resetting the network settings on your iPhone.
    Go to Settings > Reset, and select Reset Network Settings.
    This will erase all existing wi-fi network settings stored on your iPhone. This will require re-entering the password for a password protected wi-fi network and reconnecting to all wi-fi networks that you have access to.
    If this doesn't work, try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so. An iPhone reset does not affect any data or settings.
    If no change after a reset, try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup - which is the default selection when doing a restore. If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring your iPhone from your iPhone's backup will restore the problem. The next step is a restore as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    If no change after these steps and if you are in the U.S., time to give AppleCare a call at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • Satellite P10-873 Wireless LAN Connection

    Hi all,
    I have a Satellite P10-873 laptop. I've just purchased a Netgear DG834GT wireless modem/router and cannot get fully connected to the internet via Tiscali (ISP).
    The problem manifests itself in that I can connect to the router and can even ping various sites on the net. However trying to connect to a site using MSIE I just get "cannot connect" rejection page.
    In addition using the CMD prompt, attempting a Telnet session to a web site on port 80 is rejected e.g "www.bt.com 80".
    I've set all security to a minimum with no effect.
    I have an other notebook which connects and functions perfectly with the Netgear/Ticali setup. I've also identically configured MSIE on both machines without success.
    Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing this???
    Thanks Mike

    I have just set up the same router/modem (yesterday). I had a similar problem until I disabled Norton's Personal Firewall. (Windows Firewall already disabled) It then connected and I set up Nortons again afterwards (despite the manual saying do not use 3rd party firewalls. I also need help with my P10-304. I can't get the Intel 2200BG wireless minicard to work. Any ideas?

  • LAN Connections Drop WRT150N

    Purchased and installed last Wednesday. Wired and wireless LAN connections have dropped twice since then. Can't access 192.168.1.1 at all, for example.
    EasyLink shows message "Different Network Detected". Attempting to use dialogs fails, however, since the router isn't responding.
    If I unplug the router, wait, and the restore power, LAN connectivity is restored.
    Firmware is up-to-date.
    I expect occasional situations like this, but the frequency is troublesome. Any suggestions?

    I have just got this router yesterday. It did this right out of the box. After an hour or so the connection would just drop. For everything. Some other topic on this site suggested power surges for a similar problem. I moved my power supply to somewhere less crowded and have had continuous internet for about an hour now.
    I'll let you know if it worked.

  • N82 V30.0.013 Bluetooth and Wireless LAN problems

    I am using an N82, but it looks like there are similar problems with everything using similar firmware. I didn't have any of these problems with the V20 firmware that came with the phone or after the first V20 upgrade I used.
    I find that my wireless LAN connections sometimes only let me browse a few pages before I get the "web connection timed out" message. If I change wireless LAN connection (I have two, mostly for testing purposes) I can continue browsing. Of course the same error may happen causing me to switch again. Sometimes it just works. Both have WPA set up and the passwords are clearly correct. If I use Real Player I can typically listen for as long as I like. Sometimes the connection to the server will drop for Real Player but reconnecting will work (don't have to change wireless LAN network). With the web browser it seems like the data connection is dead, not a server timing out - the message appears instantly. I think have seen the same problem once with my 3G connection, but I haven't recreated it. Could be my imagination!
    I have never had any problems with IMAP email using either the Nokia client or Profimail on either the wireless LAN connection or 3G. It leads me to believe that there is nothing wrong with the wireless LAN side of things and it may be more to do with the web browser, or perhaps just that the email clients are only talking to one server helps (DNS problems?). Has anyone experienced similar problems with an alternative browser?
    I have also found that when I get to work my bluetooth dongle doesn't connect to my phone. If I disable/enable bluetooth on my phone it will connect. I had this problem with my N80 with the first firmware I had on it and the problem went away after an upgrade.
    So, it seems that both connections are fixed by turning them off and on again.

    Having both routers the same IP address is a little bit confusing, but possible since each router creates it's own subnet and provides full PNAT support. Actiontec DSL modem has to have DHCP enabled since Linksys WAN (not LAN) port should be connected to one of 4 Actiontec LAN ports. Linksys should not have any configuration setup in regards of your WAN account. Just set it to dynamic address. In ohter words:
    1. RJ-11 connect to Actiontec mode/router.
    2. Actiontec modem should be configured to acquire an IP address from Verizon and to provide all authentication info to Verizon.
    3. Actiontec modem should be configured to allow clients to acquire dynamic IP addresses -- DHCP enabled.
    4. Linsys WAN (not LAN!) port should be connected to Actiontec LAN port.
    5. Linksys should be configured to acquire dynamic IP address and no authentifacations.
    6. Configure Linksys to be DHCP enabled or you can use static IP addresss if you want.
    7. Wireless devices would be connected to Linksys and on the way to the Internet addresses would go through double NAT conversions. Any wired device connected to Linksys would have similar  features. Any device connected to Linksys should be able to connect 192.168.1.1 assigned to Linksys, but not to Actiontec.
    8. To be able to connect Linksys and Actiontec would no be able to communicate unless you split 192.168.1.0/24 into smaller subnets and set specific routes in the table. But even you do so you will not be able to access 192.168.1.1 accross subnets boundary.
    Hope it helps.

    Hello everybody,
    i have a problem with my new iPod touch 4. I have a wireless network with 2 laptops and want to integrate my iPod.

The Same presiture happens after while when both (iPod and Laptop) are on the net. The only thing what help, is to reboot the router and reset the networksettings of the iPod. Then when the Laptop is again on the net and I enter the wireless lan key for my network in the iPod I am again on with my iPod. But Apps and Music I can't download with my iPod. If I want to do that, I only get the load screen. The samething happens when my Apps want to log in the internet. But Safari works. On my Laptop I have Windows Vista. My Router is a T-Sinus 111 DSL. Has anybody a idea how I can get a firm wireless lan connection on my iPod.
    Thanks a lot for the Help

  • 802.1x on a wired Lan Connection

    Dear Community,
    i have the job to connect a Windows CE 6.0 device to a Network (wired) with 802.1x. The switch to wich i connect the device  is operating as authenticator and the Wince device is the supplicant. A Radius Server with AD is also present .
    All the informations and samples  that i can find are relating to wireless LAN connections (WZCSVC). A description of the EAPOL API is also absent (or i was not able to find it).
    I'm afraid that Wince 6.0 is not prepared for using 802.1x over a wired connection like Win XP can, but i'm not sure about that. I can not find a definite  statement whether it is possibe or not.
    Does anybody know if it is possible and/or how i can solve this problem.
    Regards Achim

    Community,
    anybody has answer to this problem?  I have to do the same thing...

  • Will 2800-400 BIOS update enable 802.11g wireless LAN?

    I recently bought a Belkin 54G cardbus wireless adapter for use with my Satellite 2800-400, which has a Windows ME OS.
    The setup software wouldn't install a driver, even though ME was said to be supported.
    I wrote to Belkin and they told me that it was because the laptop BIOS didn't support 802.11g wireless and that I should update the BIOS. I updated to BIOS version 2 but it didn't make any difference.
    I don't know if Belkin's instructions were on the right track or whether they were they just pushing the responsibility as far away from themselves as they could.
    Please can anyone tell me if my laptop does support 802.11g wireless, with or without the BIOS upgrade?
    TIA
    Mike

    Thanks for the reply. the notebook does support wireless LAN because I can get a 802.11b card to function OK.

    Well it's done now so there may be other benefits. Not 802.11g wireless though it seems.

  • Urgent! T420 with N6205 keeps dropping wireless connection and cannot recover

    Hello everyone, 
    I bought my T420 model with N6205 network card last December, since then, the wireless connection never functions well. Here's the problem(it happens in my apartment):
    Every once in a while (normally within four to five days), my wireless connection drops automatically. It would first appear as  no connection and it'll try to reconnect, then it appears as successful connected for 5 to 10 seconds(but definitely no internet access), and it'll drop the connection completely again, then automatically repeat :reconnect, drop,reconnect, drop ... never stops. Though I can still use cable to connect to my router to have internet access.
    This problem occurs to none of my smartphones, ipad, ipod touch, my old laptop and my roomates' wireless devices under the same wirless environment. They always have solid wireless connection.
    Of course, regular approaches have been taken trying to solve the problem:
    1. manually disable wireless functionality on my T420, and enable it again
    failed
    2. reboot computer
    failed
    3.  go to power manager and turn PCI express off
    failed
    4. uncheck allow the wireless LAN radio to be turned off when inactive
    failed
    5.updated to the latest driver through lenovo
    failed
    6. restart router
    successful 
    So it may be that I've got a bad router? This is why I didn't post my problem in the first place, since I was hoping it may disappear with other routers. 
    I changed to a new router, the problem persists.
    There's no way I can restart the router every time when my laptop looses connection, it'll affect the other users.
    Based on the description of my problem, I believe there's a great chance there's something wrong with my T420 rather than with my router.
    Is there anybody who can help me with this?
    Can lenovo staff see this post?
    Any suggestion about who I should turn to?
    Thanks a lot.

    What security mode are you using.
    WPA or WPA2? You could change the router to WPA only and see if that helps. I have see some portable devices that don't negotiate the protcol properly but never a notebook. If you have Bluetooth turn it off. It seems to affect my 1x1.
    I have the 1x1 card and it pretty bad connecting at 24 to 48 Mbps only with a good signal. I don't know why Realtek is used in a Business class notebook. Maybe some others can add what they have and is working 100%.
