Constant Disconnects leading to poor internet spee...

Hi.
During the summer i swapped from talktalk over to BT broadband, due to terrible customer support with talktalk. Initially things were great, the internet speed doubled with the switch and things were great.
Then suddenly the line seemed to be unstable and i started getting disconnects. I work during the day so im only online at night, but the instability seems to be at peak times only. Between 4-9pm ill get orange light on the BThomehub4, it will then take 1minute or so to reconnect. Once its reconnected i will have between 1-10minutes before another disconnect, this will continue 3-5 times before it becomes stable again for atleast a little while. If im online betwee 12pm-2am for example, the chainned disconnects dont occur. This has been occuring for atleast 3 months now.
The setup i have for the shown test was ; NTE5 testsocket > Cat5 > Computer. (no other wired or wireless devices connected at time of test.)

If i carry out a router reboot after the connection has settled down and finished its disconnect and reconnect cycled, then the internet speed seems to go back to what im getting normally, which is around 1.8-2mb.
I will then have up to an hour before it starts doing the same cycle again -

The only other thing ive noticed about this situation is that my line speed has also dropped . It used to read at 3.8mb actual, with a max line speed of 8mb. 4.4mb ish being the max i can attain due to distance from exchange (a couple of miles). It now reads 2mb max line speed. I'm not sure if this is just a symptom of the issue ive described above or merely as a result of it.
Thanks for any help/advice you can provide.

  • Poor Internet performance (ping, download, and upload) even wired directly to modem

    I recently purchased a new iMac running OSX 10.8, and have been noticing exteremely poor internet performance compared to what I am used to with our internet connection.  Running speedtests, I typically get results as follows:
    Ping: 500-2500ms
    Download: 2-3Mbps
    Upload: 0.05-0.1Mbps
    There more or less reflect the way web browsing feel.  It takes forever for clicks to take effect, but content loading on pages is reasonable for most lightweight pages.  As a comparison, running the same test on my Win 7 Dell laptop, I get more or less the advertised limits of my internet package:
    Ping: 20-80ms
    Download: 18-15Mbps
    Upload: 0.4-0.6Mbps
    To troubleshoot the issue, I wanted to ensure it was not the wireless connection or the router, so I disconnected the router and run an ethernet cord directly from the iMac to the router, and I got the same results.  I then disconnected the router entirely and ran the cord directly to the cable modem, and again got the same results.  Questioning whether it was an issue with the browser, I downloaded Chrome and again ran the test, only to get the same results.
    Now I feel stuck.  I know there is no issue with the cable modem or the connection coming to our home, but have no idea how to improve the performance of the computer.  I would appreciate some tricks or tips to try and improve the performance on either a wired ethernet connection, or ideally on wireless.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Constant disconnects with Linksys BEFW11S4/Westell/Bellsouth Ultra DSL

    I recently upgraded to the 6mb DSL service from Bellsouth.  Previously I had the 3mb.  Anyways everything was fine for sometime even with the faster service.  The last few weeks I have been having constant disconnects(several a day).  Naturally the wireless lite on my Linksys BEFW11S4 goes out each time.  I then un-power the router then re-power and I'm off and running again.  I am using a westell modem.  Bellsouth tells me that its not them since i do have an internet coneection and referred me to Linksys.  After several live chats(due to disconnects and then having to start tellin my issue all over again) they had me upgrade my firmware. Well did that and problem hasn't changed.  I've played with the different router channels and they don't seem to help as well.  Bellsouth told me that I had a static ip, so I tied setting up router that way, but then i got no connection.  Unil reently everything was fine, this just started!   Any help is greatly appreicated.  My 17 yr old daughter is going through internet withdraws upstairs!

    If you are on DSL using a Westell Modem; make sure you ask your ISP to bridge the Modem first and use the PPPoE fucntion on your router. Change the LAN IP of the router to something else like 192.168.2.1 so it won't get a conflict with the IP of the Westell. Then if you are on cable, you can try adjusting the MTU size to 1492, 1400, 1300, or 576 then check which value would get your connection stable. You can reset your router right after you upgrade it also, then reconfigure it again. Hopefully yell be fine after that!

  • Constant disconnecting with my WRT120N

    Hi
    I have a problem with my wrt120n. I'm having a constant disconnecting problem. 
    I don't have any problem with the wireless computers connected to the router but the wired one keep geeting disconnected. I'm loosing the internet many times a day on thiis one. Like I said the wireless is ok.
     My old router on my computer ( wired) was working well before I installed the wrt120n.
    Can someone help me?
    Thank you!

    This is a problem of the Linksys/Cisco WRT120N product itself.  The team from Cisco/Linksys is very irresponsible. Why i say so ?
    The 802.11n signal is not certified to be supported but yet they have included this support in this router.  By doing so, it causes this related problem that most consumers must be facing now or in the past.  It is a shame that such a big company operates and sell their products this way.   
    The solution:  It does not have anything to do with MTU, beacon interval etc....  Just use Mixed BG wireless signal instead of
    Wireless N only when you goes to Manual Setup.  I am sure that this solves the problem.

  • Poor internet speed getting slower

    The area i live in has a very poor internet speed however in the last couple of months it has got significantly slower, where web pages arent evening loading and streaming is getting near impossible
    BT call centre suggested leaving it an hour, then a day then a few days and they would 'fix' something. No change ever happens after these calls and leaving the internet unused for days at a time is getting unacceptable

  • Poor internet connectivity through WRT160N

    I bought and installed a WRT160N v.3 router about 3 months ago and all was fine.  Recently, however, very poor internet connectivity has been experienced from my other 2 computers connected via wireless.  Last night I upgraded the firmware (actuallly Linksys tech) and it appeared at first to fix the problem.  Unfortunately, it didn't.  The same problem continues on both computers.  I have since done a hard reset and started from default parameters, but that didn't help either.
    This appears to be a common problem, but I haven't seen a complete fix.
    I have a Comcast cable internet connection and a speed test done on the hardwired computer gives the expected download/upload speeds (~20MBps and 8 MBps).  Through the wireless connection to the WRT160N is another story.  Speeds are less than 0.5MB!
    Any suggestions???

    Well, I think I solved my problem.  I had the router set-up with WEP encryption and was getting very poor internet connections on my wireless PCs.  After trying a miriad of fixes found on this site and others, I decided to go to a unprotected network set-up.  I was amazed to see my wireless connectivty jump to the expected speeds for my Comcast cable connection. 
    Has anyone heard of WEP causing a slowdown in connectivity?
    Guess I will try the other security set-ups to see if I can get fast connectivity and a secure network.

  • Avoided poor internet connection

    Just bought an Android phone and it doesn't connect to my WOW network wifi. Very shortly after saying it is connected, it comes back with the message: "Avoided poor internet connection." I do not have this problem with any of my other wifi connected devices: iPhones, iPad, Dell laptops, TVs, ...

    Do you have smart wifi enabled? It will use OTA data if it detects a weak wifi signal versus cellular service. Turning it off forces the use of wifi, no matter the signal strength.

    Why does my wifi say avoided poor internet connection?

  • Poor Internet speed, TC 535kbps but through WAG300N 6654kbps

    Ok so I took the plunge and purchased a new TC 1TB yesterday and after going through the Airport Utility setup process everything seems to be working apart from the very poor internet speed when connecting via the TC > WAG300N.
    Linksys WAG300N Download-6654kbps / Upload-355kbps
    Apple Time Capsule Download-535kbps / Upload-348kbps

    Router address: Points to my WAG300N

    I have tried different Cat cables and different ethernet slots from the TC WAN to the WAG300N, I have also connected my MacBook with an ethernet cable directly to the TC. The hardwired connection still gave me the same speed test results.
    I hope I have listed all the information that someone might need to help me out. If you need any further details just shout and I will post them.
    One last thing, could this be a faulty Time Capsule?

    Good News
    I borrowed my father-in-law's old 3COM modem/router to test out my feeling that the ethernet ports on my WAG300N were not playing ball.
    I'm now a very happy bunny! setting the 3COM in Bridge Mode and using PPPoE on the Time Capsule I have my MacBook and iPhone the wife's XP laptop and BlackBerry all running through the Time Capsule
    My speeds are now as they should be:

  • Poor internet signal

    I often get a poor internet signal for no reason. I have a D-Link (DSL-G604T) router that is connected via an ethernet cable to my iMac. This works perfectly, but it is also connected to my husbands computer via airport and this doesn't always work properly. He is always able to connect to the network, but the signal strength is very inconsistent. The machine he uses is a 17" 1Ghz PowerBook and it's not in the same room as the router, it's in the next room and the connecting door is always open.

    Hello. I had not had my airport for 7 weeks after getting a new drive installed, and just the other day did it.... If I may (hoping to not anger Don) add one thing: the interference robustness that don advised clicking is the computer's interference robustness- you also want to do it to the base station (admin utility, configure, then the row of boxes, make airport the blue (checked ) box....then under wireless options near bottom of page, click, and a page drops down...it discusses multi-cast rate,and then you click that interference robustness tab, then the power setting (if not secure cut power back- if you are password protected, blast it). Then click OK,then click UPDATE at bottom.)
    (this last one is when the base station gets the instructions you gave it, it will restart,takes two minutes perhaps).
    Last night, I wandered my house with my unit, first time since august.... and WOW did my signal power drop when my air conditioner kicked in.... not for long, then it came back to about half while it ran the rest of the cycle...
    SO, any radio interference can have an effect: sun spot cycles, hair dryers, microwaves, all the stuff that used to put snow on a TV screen can weaken the signal. Sorry to be a buttinski... Peace C

  • Poor internet

    Since I upgraded to Yosemite, I have spend hours trying to resolve a problem, the problem being poor internet, both ethernet and wifi. I know I am getting 38 mb download and my iPhones (two iPhone 6s) and my ipad surf the internet really fast but my iMac and macbook pro do not.  I can only attribute this failure to Yosemite.  As i am using my iMac to write this, I do expect the internet connection to fail very soon.  I have repaired permissions, run Diskwarrior, reinstalled the software from the recovery option, gone to the apple site and redownloaded Yosemite to no avail.   While I might have internet via my iMac for a little while it will stall and fail to load a page, the marker goes to a quarter of the way and then nothing.  At the same time, I can surf successfully from my iPhone or ipad.  Incidentally, I have rebooted the modem and apple extreme as part of my problem solving.  I am sorry I upgraded!!!

  • Poor internet connection over wireless router

    We have a modem and wireless router setup in our house. The PC Laptop connects wirelessly and gets a fair internet speed. The Mac Laptop on wireless however gets a very very poor internet speed over the network. Any ideas why this is so?
    The speed increases a bit when I hook the mac laptop directly up to the modem via cable, but the wireless is the problem...
    thx

    lots of questions need answers.
    name of provider?
    the speed you signed for?
    cable or DSL or ?
    modem is older or not?
    firmware update required?
    router model?
    firmware update required?
    at least start here.

    Speed test using bt speed tester. I'm guessing there is something seriously wrong here because I think my speed should be at least double that.

    if there is an extension socket then that is a good reason to conenct to test socket to eliminate any problems caused by the extension.. if you need an engineer visit and the cause of your drop outs is the extension socket then you will get a bill for £129.99 for call out

  • My Macbook keeps disconnecting itself from the internet

    Recently, I bought a Macbook Pro in September and ever since I got it, the connection with the internet have been weird. It keeps disconnecting itself from the internet. I know it's not my router or home internet because my Touch and other laptops have a consistent connection. The Airport icon has a full bar. I can reconnect, but I have to go to Network Diagnostics constantly to connect back to the internet, only to be disconnected 10 seconds later.
    Out of desperation, I figured I do a clean install of Snow Leopard (why not since my Macbook is new anyways)! The problem is still there, the Macbook is updated to Version 10.6.1. Can someone help please? Is it my network settings? Is anyone else having this problem? Ahhhh

    Same problem, however my internet tends only to disconnect upon awakening after an extended period of sleep or after several hours of use. The problem does not occur when I connect to my schools network. I'm not sure whether the problem lies with my airport extreme - it works fine with other computers and registers with a green light even when faulty on my MBP. Also, simply turning the airport on and off does not always work for me - at some stages I have had to reset it - still to no avail. Connecting the base station to my computer by the ethernet connection does however re-establish the wireless connection on occasion. Also, I find after long periods of use my usually full airport connection drops a few bars and the internet slows down. Restarting the computer fixes this! Anyone got any idea where the problem lies??
