BT Infinity Keeps Disconnecting

Hi everyone so here's my story so far,
During November 2014 we upgraded our BT Broadband to Fibre Optic. 2 weeks later the engineer came out and installed it. Later that day our brand new BT Hub started to disconnect from the internet the main blue light would turn orange then start flashing and 2 minutes later it would turn back to blue and all was fine. However it done this for 2 weeks every single day at least 5 times.
I then phoned up BT and explained to them what the problem was they done a line connection test and said there is a fault within our area and that an engineer would fix it soon. A few days later we got an email saying that its been fixed and we had noticed it hadn't cut off recently so we said okay that's fine all fixed then. However a few days later our BT Hub once again started to show the orange light and cut off from the internet this day happened to be windy outside and every time we got a big gust it would cut out. It got so bad at one point that it just kept cutting off every 5 minutes so I decided to just switch the BT Hub off completely and turned it on a few hours later, it still crashed once or twice every hour though.
The next day we phoned BT again and explained that despite their help from before it is still not fixed. After a 2 hour phone call with them they said that they would send an engineer out in 5 days time. 5 days later the engineer arrives as planned he looked at the BT Hub set up and said our cable from the BT Hub to the phone line was wrong. I said to him the engineer who installed it done everything you see here so he must have done it wrong. He got the correct cable and connected it up and also done a line connection test from within our house and all the results came back fine.
Over the course of nearly 2 weeks the BT Hub rarely crashed but still every few days it would cut off again. Yesterday we had another spell of windy weather outside the first windy weather in a while and the BT Hub crashed again and again the orange light would flash exactly like before.
I really think that there's a loose connection with the cables outside in our local area somewhere that every time we get windy weather it cuts off our fibre optic connection. When I try to explain this to anyone on the phone they simply just don't understand and it feels like I'm never going to get this fixed. Can anyone suggest something I can do?

Your speeds are seriously below the estimate and your raised noise margin indicates you have a line fault.
You will need an engineer to attend to fix the fault.
You should phone the helpdesk and request an engineers visit.

BT home hub keeps disconnecting with the same mess...

As post says above my BThomehub for BTinfinity keeps disconnecting ever 15 or so minutes and I have to go and have it automaticly connect again.
It keeps telling me along the lines of
"[email protected] should be set as your username"
"your username is currently [email protected]"
There are no problems around my area.
Is my BT hub breaking down? And what can I do to fix it?

Not on infinity myself, but that just looks daft.
You don't need to use the default of 'bthomehub' before the @, but anything you want.
I wonder if you were to change this, would this error message then disappear....?

Skype keeps disconnecting my internet.

Hello I recently just moved house and acquired BT Infinity 2. Ever since moving house and Internet provider joining skype calls keeps disconnecting my connection. I am currently on a wireless connection and have had BT Infinity since Thursday the 13th of February. If anyone could please help me I would be really happy.
Thanks, Simon.

I cannot currently connect to my Hub with an ethernet cable as my computer is upstairs. I do not understand how I never had this problem when I was on a 2mb download speed connection with Sky but now I have this problem on a 20mb download speed connection with BT.
Is there anything else I can do to solve this problem, I have tried turning my hub off and on but that doesn't seem to work? Would you recommend trying the reset button to make the hub default back to factory settings? I wasnt sure whether to try this since it sounded a bit scary and I didn't want to mess things up more.
Also while I'm here, how would I go about have an ethernet cable port put in my bedroom? Could I get an electriction to do this or would I have to get a BT Engineer to come and install me one as that would be the only way I could get a wired connection from the living room downstairs where my hub is to my bedroom upstairs?

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

USB device keeps disconnecting/connecting after upgrading to Windows 8.1

I have a device(Pedal for Sim Racing) connected via USB, everything is working fine in Windows 7 and 8 but after upgrading my machine to Windows 8.1 the device keeps disconnecting and connecting for like every 2 seconds. But after I open the Property Sheet
in Game Controllers panel the disconnection issue was gone, if I reconnect the device the issue persist. Other people who have similar device also encounters the same issue after upgrading to windows 8.1. The issue persist with or without the device driver
installed.
Any idea, what might cause this?
Best regards
mark

I'v got this exact same problem with my Win 7 desktop. I've also got pedals and wheel but don't see it as different than all the other USB devices. I'm using a bunch of USB, but no hubs, including 3 external storage hard drives. But the momentary
disconnect appears in all devices as best as i can see..even my long time trouble free head phones..keyboard..and all. Sometimes the sound goes away and if I unplug and replug them the sound comes back, and other times I have to exit and re enter the
game. I also get video crashes ..maybe not related.IDK..and have to restart all, because I've got three black screens in Eyefinity. For years my system was trouble free and its just slowly started getting worse. I've thought it had to do with system "sleep"
etc but long ago went to never sleep max performance etc..Makes no difference. Keep thinking its my hardware or my house wiring etc..But can't seem to solve it. I replaced my Mobo/chip/ram maybe 6 months ago and that appears to have not helped. It seems
to be getting worse. I hate to start replacing parts piece by piece..cost a lot of money and sometimes doesn't help.
When I'm playing a game I can often hear "faint" sound of USB connect disconnect happening with regularity..that little bing/boink sound etc..So it must just be constantly happening...Seems weird. Didn't have anything like this happening years
ago with pretty much the same hardware and same Win7 with the continuing updates etc.
What can be causing this common problem?

My internet keeps disconnecting

Hi,
I have seen many posts now about macusers having the same problem as me. I have recently upgraded to IOS Lion and have kept the software updted on a weekly basis.
For some reason my wireless internet keeps disconnecting at speradic times during the day and it has become very irritating. It is not the connection as my PC, Iphone and Ipads are connected while both my Macbook pros decide to go wandering. I never had this problem when i was using the previous operating system but i see other uses had problems with that as well.
Does anyone have any fixes for the problem or know of any patches that can solve the problems. Please help a very irritated Macuser.
Thanks Nobby

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

External hard drive keeps disconnecting and then reconnecting

External hard drive on Time Machine, running via USB keeps disconnecting. Get the pop us that the drive wasn't disconnected properly. This Mac is brand new as is the hard drive. It is a Seagate 1T Free Agent.
After a minute or two it reconnects. I've run Seagate diagnostics and it says the drive is fine.
Any suggestions?

See #A1 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for a handy widget that will display the backup messages from your logs.
See what that shows; there may be a problem with the backup, which results in TM ejecting the drive. If so, the disconnect may be a symptom, not a cause. If so, see #C2 there. If not, or if you're not sure, copy and post them here.
Also, to rule out other USB problems, disconnect everything but keyboard and mouse; connect the drive directly to your Mac (no hub).
Make sure all connections are snug and secure.
Try other ports, cables, and combinations of the two (a plug that works fine in one port may not make good contact in another one, and throw intermittent errors).

My iphone external hard drive keeps disconnecting so it tells me I disconnected improperly. I have changed electric cord directly to outlet and usb also direct, and it still happens.

I store ALL my photos (400 events) on an external 1T hard drive. The hard drive keeps disconnecting so it get a msg telling me I disconnected improperly basically which is a serious no no. I then have to re-start. I have tried connecting directly to the wall outlet, to a super duper surge protector and also have connected the usb (was on a usb port) directly to the computer. But it continues to happen a total nusance. What do I do?

I would first contact Seagate's tech support for a possible solution. If that doesn't prove successful then I would try a different product or consider building your own.
Basic Backup
Get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
Silver Keeper
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
Cool Drives
OWC
WiebeTech
Firewire Direct
California Drives
NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

WiFi keeps disconnecting in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on Macbook Pro

I have an early i7 2011 Macbook Pro. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 my WiFi keeps disconnecting. There isn't a certain time it disconnects - sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes for just 10 minutes. When the connection is lost, it shows that its connected in the taskbar at the top, however when going into network preferences it shows the WiFi as turned off. In order to turn it back on I need to restart the Mac.
I have tried the following:
reset SMC
delete network preferences
create new network connection
add DNS servers
Add manual MTU
Require password to turn on/off WiFi / change network (still disconnects!)
Change order of preferred networks
I phoned Apple Care who told me to delete the network preferences, this worked for about 5 mins and then the problem returned!
I cannot change the router settings as I connect to my employers network. All other employees using Window machines are working fine and my iPhone connects perfectly fine also.
Somebody please help me! I feel my only option now would to do a clean install - not ideal! Apple, please HELP.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Hi - I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2010 which drops the wifi connection randomly (not necessarily when I move it or the lid - see other posts on this) and then often ends up freezing when I try to investigate.
I installed Mavericks to see if that would resolve the issue but it doesn't.
Somebody in one of these posts suggested it might be a faulty connection between airport card and mother board... which I suppose could be caused by a jolt to the machine (mine travels as hand luggage on planes every now and then).
I am running OS X 10.9 on a 13 inch Mid 2010 MBP with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3 memory.
If anyone comes up with an answer to this PLEASE post it here so that we can all resolve our wifi dropping/freezing issues!
Thanks

WLAN keeps disconnecting on N8

I now have a new problem with my Nokia N8. When i'm connected to my WLAN netwrok, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. I've reset my router several times. but it keeps doing it. It happends when i use the Dukto App and when I download files onto the N8. It's really starting to annoy me know. How can I get the N8 to stay connected to the WLAN network?????

I go back and forth between two countries. in my house in mainland europe which has a Bluewin router, what you are describing happens all the time, then in the UK my phone works perfectly fine thorugh my virgin media wireless hub. Also works fine through all other routers and public wlan etc.
So yeah i agree with kelevra, it has something to do with the hub. I dont know if theres a solution. probably not. its just once again down to nokia cutting corners with their sofware again i suppose.

Skype account keeps disconnecting after 30 seconds

hi guys,
its driving me nuts. my skype account keeps disconnecting after 30 seconds and i haven't even done anything. it does it on windows, and on my iphone too.
what's going on? is this a problem with skype? i've seen similar posts. and i'm using skype 6.20

That generally means there is an issue with your Microsoft account. You may have to verify some settings in your account to make sure a configuration isn't causing it. The only solution I'm aware of is temporarily unlinking your account. I do not know if reconnecting it will resolve the issue right away.

Keeps disconnect and reconnect

I have a retina Macbook Pro 13"(latest), iPad(3rd genernation), iPhone 5 and iPod shuffle(latest) and I am sure all their systems as well as iTunes on my Macbook Pro are latest version. The thing is that whenever I connect my iPad and iPod shuffle and try to sync using iTunes it just keeps disconnect and reconnect. At frist I thought there might be some problem with my USB port, so I tried both of my USB ports and it keeps behave like that. And the wired thing is, it did not happend to my iPhone 5 so far. So it is most likely that there are problems with the iTunes.
So I just want to ask is there anyone encounter the same problem and if you know how to fix this problem plsssssss tell me. Thx.

I think these problems were hopefully solved by recent update of Itunes.

Are you using NTFS driver in Mac OS X to WRITE to your MyBook?
If so, switch to Paragon Software's. Demo is fine.

In Windows, do chkdsk on it.

Hi Barry,

Do you know why iPhone 5 could not be paired by Bluetooth
with MacBook Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8 ?
