Devices Disconnecting From Home Hub 5

Had this problem ever since changeing to the home hub 5 / infinity a couple of weeks ago.
Devices such as my laptop and the sky wireless adapter (for getting on demand etc) keep disconnecting from the home hub and i keep having to reconnect them. Its really annoying, the sky wireless adapter disconnect every couple of days and i have to re enter the wireless key.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Devices Missing from Home Hub 2 List

I have seen many entries on various forums about people connecting device and not seeing them on the network list.
I had this problem and went through all the suggestions and finally did a reset to factory defaults. This cured the problem temporarily but it returned the following day.
After lots of analysis it seems that the HH2 can only display 10 devices at any one time, so when I added the 11th device to my network – it does not seem to matter weather its wireless or not, it is not in the list – delete an existing entry and refresh and the new device appears.
Is this normal behaviour or is my HH2 faulty?

From what you are saying this is normal for these things.
Its much the same on the home hub 1. Sometimes devices do not show as connected, even though they exist in the main device list. I get the impression that the web display only updates if the device has been active for a while.
There is nothing in the firmware to trigger anything, when a device status changes.
If I log into the telnet interface on the HH1, and use the command "hostmgr list", the device is shown on the list.
Telnet is not available on the HH2.
I would not rely too much on the device list. If you really want to see if a device is present, then simply "ping" it.
I actually use static addresses on my network, as it makes it easier to detect if a device is active.

PC keeps disconnecting from home hub.

Got a very annoying problem, for some reason my computer keeps disconnecting from my home hub. Its got much worse recently and I have no clue what is doing it. Sometimes it can stay disconnected for a couple of hours and when you finally get the connection back it says it cant connect to the Internet. Also my network adaptor cant find my hub but it will find my neighbours even though the hub is just down the stairs from my PC. Signal it good-excellent. There are 2 other computers using the same hub but the are totally unaffected by this.
Would really appreciate some help.

from your comments I assume you are using wifi
you can try downloading inssider3 (istumbler if MAC) and then run it. This will show the broadcasting networks round about you and their channels including your own. If you then enter your router and change your wireless channel to a free or less congested channel.

Block users from Home Hub 3 wi-fi without them kno...

Is there any way on the homehub 3 to block users on the wifi without it giving them a notification?
When you use the parental lock down between certain times when the user opens a web page it says they've been locked down by the hub but I don't want them to get this notification just to be completly disconnected?

Hi, I have the Xperia Z3, Until recently, my phone was fine. About 3 weeks ago it started disconnecting from my home wifi, this is extremely annoying. It does it when it feels like. Mostly when ive been idle for a bit, but does occur at other times too, in the middle of a written conversation it disconnects.
Things ive tried:
Resetting Router, moving it.
Resetting apps on phone to default.
Forgetting the Wifi connection and re connecting it.
Its doing my head in now need it sorted.
Any suggestions / fixes?

Hi Moreton,
Discussion Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines
Are you by chance using any Anti virus or Task manager or even battery saving apps? if so they may be causing the drop in the Wifi connection. I suggest looking through and removing any if you do have them.

Swap from Home Hub 3 to 4

Help. I currently have a home hub 3 which has a cable in the back into ADSL. It is wireless.
I have just got a new Home Hub 4. This has 2 leads - red one for Broadband WAN and yellow one for Ethernet.
Which do I plug in, the red Broadband or the yellow Ethernet?

See link for setting up Homehub 4 broadband guide.
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44413/c/1243
Remember you will need to connect all your wireless devices to the new Homehub. You need to scan for the Homehub's SSid (name) wich will be something like BTHomehub4-xxxx. and once you have clicked on it you need to enter the wireless passkey that is found on the Homehub label. It i not the Admin passord.

Chirping noise from Home Hub 3!

Sorry about the rather vague subject title, but since a reboot early this morning (following a local BT exchange problem yesterday) my new Home Hub 3 keep making small 'chirruping' noises!
A bit like the sound Nokia mobile phones make when their batteries are getting low, but quieter than that... I probably only hear it because it is about a metre or so away from me!
I have certainly never heard it before, and wondered anything to be concerned about, or is it some sort of resynchronisation procedure perhaps?
Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

Hi,
Sorry for not having replied on here before,
Had a chuckle at some of the comments, but things seem to have quietened down a bit now, so perhaps the baby birds have finally flown the nest!
My Home Hub seems to be working well at present anyway, so all I want now is for BT to lay about 3 miles of fibre optic cable from our nearest exchange to the cabinet immediately outside my house, and I shall be a very happy bunny!
Hi Montala,
Glad you took it in good heart, but you can see we couldn't miss the oportunity.
As regards the fibre cable, You never know

Crackling and Burning Smell from Home Hub 5

I have had a crackling noise and burning smell come from my Home Hub 5, as a pre-caution I've turned it off. But depsite repeated attempts to get a replacement from BT no-one on the phone or via the live chat system seems to understand!
Any chance on getting help to get a replacement please?

You will need to phone them back and tell them what the problem is. This time tell them that flames have come out of it.
Obviously do not plug it back in.

IPad disconnecting from home and public wifi

My iPad when being used at home or using a free/public wifi will disconnect during use. Anyone know what can help, I'm getting charged data usage because I don't catch that it keeps getting disconnected.

You can turn off your cellular connection in settings.
As far as wifi is concerned, might need to try some things.
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
(How to update your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
Reset Network Settings
Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

ATV3 after 5.1 upgrade keeps disconnecting from home sharing

Hello,
I have had my setup now for about 6 months without any issues. I have an ATV3 connecting to iTunes home sharing on Win7 64bit. The Win7 is directly connected to my router via Gbit hardwired network. The ATV is connected over wireless 802.11n to the same router. The router is a D-link, DIR-655 I think. I upgraded to 5.1 on Fri, when the problems arose. When I start to watch a movie, it will disconnect after a period time (between secs and mins). I need to wait a few secs, then the computer will be listed again and I can select the movie and play. After a period of time, same thing. This keeps happening over and over again. I was running the latest 10.6.x iTunes on the Win7 box. I tried upgrading to 10.7, and same thing. I have rebooted everything multiple times (ATV3, router, Win7 box). Please help, getting really frustrated with it.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Should be quite staright forward. First download the ver 5.02 for the ATV. idownloadblog is a good place. Once done open iTunes and plug the ATV in to to your mac using a micro USB. Once connected plug in your power cable. If the ATV does not show up in your devices press Menu and Play together on the ATV remote. It should now be showing in devices. Hightlight the ATV in devices then hold down the ALT key and click on restore. You should now have an option box come up were you can select the file you downloaded. Choose file click ok and follow the on screen prompts. Once it says restore complete you should be ready to go. Good luck.
Regards
Mark

Z10 keeps disconnecting from home wifi network

I just switched from a Samsung Galaxy to a BlackBerry Z10 a couple of days ago and I am having trouble with my home wifi. The Galaxy never had issues with it and stayed on constantly but the Z10 connects for a few minutes and then disconnects again and won't re-connect unless I reboot the router. I made sure I had the latest firmware on the router and updated the Z10 software as well. Apparently there is some setting on my wifi that was ok for the Galaxy but not ok for the Z10 and I hope someone can help me figure it out. Nothing else is using the wifi and the signal strength is very good.
What happens:
The phone connects successfully to the wifi. I open the browser and go through a few pages and then suddenly a page won't load at all. Sometimes the phone says it is still connected to the wifi and sometimes it sends me a message saying that the network has limited access to some websites. Sometimes it will instead switch to 4G. It doesn't only happen when I use the browser. Sometimes I am not using anything on it at all but just look at it and see it has switched to 4G.
I go into the settings and I see that it says my wifi network is disabled. I enable it again and confirm all the settings are fine and try to connect. Sometimes it goes through three attempts and then gives up. Sometimes it only tries once and gives me a message that it is unable to authenticate against the network and that I should verify network security settings and try again. No matter how many times I try, it does not connect until I log in to my router and reboot that. Then it connects immediately without my having to do anything.
So I am pretty sure this means a problem with my router settings.
I am using WPA/WPA2 - Personal security and confirmed that setting and the password on the Z10 are correct.
On the Z10, "Auto Obtain IP" is on.
I always have trouble with network stuff and it means little to me so, if anyone knows what is going on, please don't give me technical jargon! If you need more info, I will provide.
Thanks! I don't want to have to take it back but if it won't work for me, I might have to get another Samsung instead.

An update, in case anyone else is experiencing anything similar ...
After troubleshooting with various technicians at various companies, it appears the problem was actually a faulty router. I don't understand why my Samsung had no issues with it (or my laptop) but when I replaced it with another router I had kicking around, the BlackBerry had no problem connecting and it has been about three hours so far without disconnecting at all.
I suppose I'll come back here if the problem recurs but, in the meantime it appears to be just one of those weird things. So I guess the moral is to try everything, even if you don't think it could possibly be the cause, because you just never know.

Ipad disconnected from home network and now is not showing it for me to connect to again

I live in a student house where 5 of us are all connected to the same house network. The other day both my Ipad and my laptop lost connection to the internet and I was unable to see my home group as an option to connect to on my laptop, but once i restarted the router I was able to connect again. However my Ipad still is not showing the option of my home network, even though it was previously connected to it for a couple of months prior. I know how to make all assessed networks appear on your laptop, but I have no idea how on my Ipad. Any suggestions please?

Try restting your iPad.
Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off".
If that doesn't cure the problem try Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.

Ever since the first iOS8 update, my 5s constantly disconnects from home wi-fi network even after replacing router

I've been struggling with this issue since the first iOS 8 update but have patiently waited through all the subsequent software updates, hoping the problem would resolve itself, but it has not. I even replaced my router at one point (unrelated reason) and the issue persists. It's possible that the problem isn't just at home, but I really only notice it at home, likely because that's where I am when I'm playing games/watching YouTube/facebooking etc. for long spans of time to where the issue is very problematic. My wi-fi connection CONSTANTLY drops when I'm doing things and switches to the cellular network, which is a huge pain if I'm playing a game that ends itself if you lose your wi-fi connection, or watching YouTube when I don't have unlimited video streaming. Sometimes just pressing the home button and returning to the main screen will bump it back on, but sometimes I have to toggle wi-fi off and on. I've messed with my router settings, rebooted it, done a hard reset on my phone, reset network settings etc. etc. etc. and nothing has fixed this issue.
Any ideas?
I was at dinner tonight and saw someone with the new Blackberry, and for the first time, I found myself seriously considering a new phone at this point as I've been dealing with this for what seems like months and months.

7:10
[Comment From George George : ]
Will the 'Home Network' page show a HH4 instead of the Current image of the HH3?
7:11
JacquiBT:
Thanks George, Sam will answer that for you
7:11
Sam:
Hi George, the HH4 image will be displayed in place of the HH3 in the next firmware release
7:12
Dave:
Thanks again DS - you shouldn't find that, but this can depend on a lot of different factors in the home. I've found mine to be a bit better actually! But it should be pretty much the same for most customers.

Is it possible for BT to allow us to move the BTWifi SSID's to another channel, leaving our own SSID on a less congested channel?
7:12
Dave:
Hi imjolly, sorry for the delay, Emma asked me to reply on her behalf. We have made the stats in the Hub manager simpler for customers to understand, we were reacting to feedback that it was too general for the wide range of customers and tech understandings.

7:15
Sam:
Hi DS, moving BT Wifi SSID's to another channel is not possible on the HH4. However, we are looking closely at the wi-fi SSID's the hub broadcasts to see whether we can improve this experience.
7:15
Dave:
Hi James, 5GHz maximum data transfer rate of 300Mb/s; this will tend to translate as an optimal actual speeds of up to 100 Mb/s - depending on lots of factors in your home

Why did you remove the built in plastic wireless info tab with a card?
7:15
JacquiBT:
Hi George, Dave is going to reply to that question
7:16
Dave:
Hi George - this was part of the design process, we've tried to make it even easier for customers to find their wireless information. Now it's not integrated it's a little bit more accessible.

How much power does the home hub 4 use?
7:24
JacquiBT:
Hi Winston. Dave will respond to your question
7:24
Sam:
Hi Josh, we are aware of this issue. This is a problem with the Xbox rather than the HH4 but something we are reviewing together.
7:24
Emma:
Hi the bennyboy, the main advantages of the hub 4 are the faster processor (3 x faster) and 5 GHz wifi. There is no interference with 5GHz so you get better performance and as the range isn't as wide you dont have to share the bandwidth with neighbours etc. the hub still has 2.4 GHz so you still have the range you have withhub 3 too!
7:24
Dave:
Hi Winston, I am afraid there's no simple answer as it really depends on what features are in use. But the Hub 4 meets the latest Broadband Equipment Energy Code of Conduct targets for energy consumption.
7:25
[Comment From Mel Mel : ]

Hi George. With regards to the manual power save feature, we have looked to make this automatic for all of our customers. However, you are able to change the brightness of the lights as an additional step.
7:30
Dave:
Hi Mel - we've made a lot of changes for our existing customers since the launch of the Hub 3 a couple of years ago. Our customer offer for the Hub 4 only £35 - a really big discount compared to the full price of £109! We've also created a range of recontracting deals that contain a Hub 4 for only the cost of delivery. If you're out of contract or in the last 3 months, you could take advantage of those offers as well. We really want all of our customers to be able to take advantage of these options!
7:31
Sean Donnelly:
Did you know the Hub 4 has a faster processor? Inside the BT Home Hub 4 router is our latest Broadband processor – the brains of your Hub. It allows you to pass information between connected devices quicker than ever. So if you are transferring files from one computer to another or watching a film streamed from another device, the BT Home Hub 4 won't slow you down.
7:31
[Comment From thebennyboy thebennyboy : ]
Our house has very thick stone walls and the wireless is weak in certain rooms. We have a few devices in our house that support 5Ghz Wi-Fi. Does the HH4 also work ok with home plugs that use your power cables to provide network connectivity?

yeah I can tell, I know your quesitons are pretty good but if you notice that JacquiBT is deliberately choosing the questions she wants to go through. The whole chat is based around the fact that they have added 5ghz. I am appauled as I was hoping to at least ask one question.
