Disconnections and Speed Issues.

To start off, our BT Internet connection has been fine for years, not a problem at all, speeds weren't high, but they were modest and certainly enough for my needs, and there weren't really any major problems, just the occasional maintenance work interfering with it and other minor things...
Until the past 6 months that is, it happened it seemed for an alternating monthly period, on and off the quality would just drop ridiculously.
There would be disconnects and <1Mbps speeds (is that even broadband?), and just where we got to the point where we were going to call up, suddenly it would go back and become even better.
Sometimes going as high as 18Mbps which was unheard of for our area, until it crashed down again, this cycle happened until just over a month ago when it got a lot worse.
It started off the internet would disconnect and reconnect at a random speed, ranging from really low, to modestly high, and then a new symptom came into play, everytime a device connected to the router, the router would drop the connection and try reconnecting, it wasn't random anymore, we now know when it's going to disconnect.
Everytime my brother walks into the house with his smartphone automatically seeking our wireless connection, it drops.
Everytime someone powers up a PC that's on a wired connection, you guessed it! It drops the connection
Far more annoyingly though, everytime someone walks past the house and connects to our BT FON source, it drops (which I'd like to point out, at the time we had a Home Hub 1.0 and the BT FON was automatically always on and couldn't be disabled, a nice feature for our problem -_-)
We called up the technicians after this started, and they tried to diagnose the problem, and I use the word tried loosely.
Instructions were basically unplug the internet, plug it back in, and change the filter.
We did manage to wrangle a BT Home Hub 3 into our hands though, the morning it arrived we cradled our saviour, delicately placing it on the desk top, preparing to worship it's blessing of providing us with hassle-free internet at last..
But it was not to be, set it up, everything fine! Brother walks in from work.. and I'm sure you know how the rest goes..   
Humourous thing is, it came with a letter from BT saying we're on the up to such and such package (I think it was up to 20mb), it says our average speed should be 12mbps, but we've sat on pretty solidly for the past month 1.5mbps, it's been lower, but I don't think it's been higher...
We've tried the BT Help Phone Lines, they can't seem to help us, so I'm putting this puzzle to a wider audience of people who may have had past experience.
The only theory we have is that it was a BT mistake that they haven't realised, my father saying he saw workmen from BT working on the telephone pylon in our alleyway.
I'd ask our neighbours if they have any problems, but I don't want to get burgled if they find out we can afford internet...
I hope some people on here may be able to shed some insight or advice with how to tackle this problem, I'll say right now, we're paying something like £30 a month (maybe more, I don't get to see the bills) for an internet connection I could buy from a smaller company for £2 a month (1.2mbps average in the past month) 
Thanks in advance, Mike.

  • 9124 duplex and speed issue

    Trying to install a new 9124.
    The ethernet switch port for the mgmt port of the 9124 is set to full 100 and the 9124 came set to auto auto.
    The mgmt port is comming up as half duplex.
    When trying to set the duplex and speed of the mgmt port to full 100, it appers to take the change but does not retain it and it still comes up as half duplex.
    So it appears that the 9214 mgmt port will not take the change of setting to full 100.
    I have tried to change it with the port down but it won't take changes when down.
    If I change it while up and save it and bounce the port it reverts back to half when it comes up.
    If I make the change and reboot it reverts back.
    Any idea how to force the mgmt port to full 100 and get it to stick?

    There is one more defect solved in later 5.x releases where 91xx will end up in half duplex for mgmt interface.
    Workaround would be to configure both sides to auto.

  • Unusual wireless latency and speed issue

    I have an odd problem where wireless connections to the home hub 3 will start to exhibit very high and varied latency from 40ms up to 1000ms every 15 to 30 seconds (pinging from laptop to homehub) and slow throughput of about 4Mbit.  The link speed is solid at 144Mbit/sec and the signal is always on maximum.
    If I change the wireless channel on the router and the change it back to its original value the connection starts to behave and latency is normally 1-3ms with the odd spike up to 90 or so and realworld throughput jumps up to 60+Mbit/sec.
    I suspected packet fragmentation back have confirmed this is not the case and now believe it to be a problem with the home hub as restarting it or changing the wireless channel will fix the issue for a few hours.  Anyone else had this problem and resolved it?  It is a pain because the connection does still work but it makes streaming high quality media impossible and online gaming becomes a pain with constant lag until I poke the router.

    I assume you're using windows vista, 7 and it probably affects windows 8 as well.
    When you're connected wirelessly, it never stops searching for a wireless connection and briefly disconnects you from the one you are connect to.
    You can turn this off with a program called WLAN Optimizer.

  • BT Infinity connnection and speed issue

    Last saturday (1 week ago) My internet went off for a couple of hours. It came back on around 9pm. then every day for the next week my broadband went off some time in the afternoon and came back on around 9pm. I checked the service status and there isn't any problems in my area but my broadband kept going off. I tried the call centres but i may as well just ask my cat what is the problem.  Now when i run a speed test im getting 18mb download and only 2mb upload. How come its dropped speed so much. When i first started with Bt Infinity i was getting 45mb download and 20mb upload, it dropped after a few weeks to 26mb down and 10 upload. Its been at this speed for months but now its dropped to 18mb down and 2mb up, which i am not happy with, why is this. I havnt changed anything in my house setup and i allways use wired connection. Thanks in advance for any help

    If the disconnects have stopped your line will now be seen as being stable and the DLM will start to increase the speed again. This can take up to 3 weeks to get back up to where you were. If you are still getting disconnects you will need to establish what is causing them. This could be anything from a problem at the exchange, the cabinet or your line. As long as the problem is not within your property then BT should check it out and repair free of charge. If the fault is within your property there will be a charge.
    It is therefore in your own interest to eliminate problems within your own property.
    If you are still getting disconnects then take a note of when and what happens when this happens... does the modem go off, does the homehub go off,  do lights flash on either modem or homehub, is it just wireless or ethernet etc etc. This will help to try and diagnose the problem.

  • WRT54GL Disconnecting and other issues

    Purchased this router after having problems with a netgear one.
    On trying it it worked ok for a small while and then started giving problems.
    It will not show in wireless network list randomly, then come back for no real apparant reason.
    It will not connect at times
    Once it does connect, the connection only lasts for a couple of minutes and drops - with netowrk dissapearing.
    If connected, the download speed is VERY slow - 128Kbps on a 20 meg line.
    These problems are seen on 2 different laptops, and an iphone so i suspect i do not have a hardware issue with these. Router seems ok on cable connection, although speed is 6meg, not 20 meg as i have had in the past from the router.
    I have tried the following :
    New network card drivers - Main laptop uses intel wireless, as said - suspect ok as numerous bits of kit have same problem.
    Latest firmware on Router.
    Tried varying channel ids on laptop - some are definately worse than others - sticking with 13 as it seems best??
    MANY resets, 30 sec, the 30/30/30 also
    Only equipment around area is a TV, Xbox360 (wired connection), Phone and Virgin V+ Box
    One thing i have noticed is next door have added an unsecured network i can see (and join if i wish). Would this Belkin router from next door be able to kill mine as it is described above? 
     I'm at my wits end trying to sort this out and begrudge buying yet another router to see if it solves my issues.
    All help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Do the following wireless settings on your Router :
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
    Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
    Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • Verizon 4G LTE Router constantly disconnecting and other issues

    My Verizon 4G LTE Router constantly disconnects. It requires a power off reset to come back on. Unfortunately, I dumped a perfectly reliable DSL connection for this. Worse yet, it is in a second home, and used to remotely monitor my temperature and security camera. I'm an not there every hour of the day to power cycle this totally unreliable device!
    Also,I've had this device for a couple of months now, and have yet to be able to get my security cameras working. Now I can't even tell if my furnace is on - with winter coming if I can't monitor the temperature remotely, my pipes and well pump could be seriously damaged. What is going on with this thing????

    Blazey, I appreciate you trying to help.
    So, what you are saying is I have a few options:
         1) Do nothing and keep paying for a service and hardware combination I purchased directly from Verizon that doesn't work
         2) Spend $600 on top of what I have already spent to get limping along
         3) Spend $600 + buy another more reliable router that doesn't hang all the time
    Where is option #4 - Verizon should fix their problem(s), or release me from my contractual obligation so I can go back to a rock steady DSL connection!
    This is totally unacceptable.. I am not trying to use some 3rd party hardware on their network. I purchased this directly from Verizon so I DIDN'T have to worry about it working. They swore to me that this would be a plug in replacement for my DSL. Now after some more reading I discover it is not even close. It does not support port forwarding without shelling out another $500 for a static IP. I can assure you, I did not pay for this with ATT's DSL service. I feel duped and am pretty outraged by this.
    What's worse is, I do not have "eye's" on my vacation home almost 300 miles away while this is happening. A little difficult to just "pop" over and reset it - which is what Verizon support suggested I do.

  • Java Audio Metronome | Timing and Speed Problems

    Hi all,
    I’m starting to work on a music/metronome application in Java and I’m running into some problems with the timing and speed.
    For testing purposes I’m trying to play two sine wave tones at the same time at regular intervals, but instead they play in sync for a few beats and then slightly out of sync for a few beats and then back in sync again for a few beats.
    From researching good metronome programming, I found that Thread.sleep() is horrible for timing, so I completely avoided that and went with checking System.nanoTime() to determine when the sounds should play.
    I’m using AudioSystem’s SourceDataLine for my audio player and I’m using a thread for each tone that constantly polls System.nanoTime() in order to determine when the sound should play. I create a new SourceDataLine and delete the previous one each time a sound plays, because the volume fluctuates if I leave the line open and keep playing sounds on the same line. I create the player before polling nanoTime() so that the player is already created and all it has to do is play the sound when it is time.
    In theory this seemed like a good method for getting each sound to play on time, but it’s not working correctly.
    At the moment this is just a simple test in Java, but my goal is to create my app on mobile devices (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc)...however my current method isn’t even keeping perfect time on a PC, so I’m worried that certain mobile devices with limited resources will have even more timing problems. I will also be adding more sounds to it to create more complex rhythms, so it needs to be able to handle multiple sounds going simultaneously without sounds lagging.
    Another problem I’m having is that the max tempo is controlled by the length of the tone since the tones don’t overlap each other. I tried adding additional threads so that every tone that played would get its own thread...but that really screwed up the timing, so I took it out. I would like to have a way to overlap the previous sound to allow for much higher tempos.
    I posted this question on StackOverflow where I got one reply and my response back explains why I went this direction instead of preloading a larger buffer (which is what they recommended). In short, I did try the buffer method first, but I want to also update a “beat counter” visual display and there was no way to know when the hardware was actually playing the sounds from the buffer. I mentioned that on StackOverflow and I also asked a couple more questions regarding the buffer method, but I haven’t received any more responses.

    Any help getting these timing and speed issues straightened out would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

  • Audio pitch / playback speed issue, MacBook Pro 10.4.10

    I experienced a very strange audio pitch and speed issue that affected a recording I was making in Ableton Live 6.0.3.
    Setup is MacBook Pro 2.16GHz, Mackie Onyx Satellite FW interface for audio, recording straight to internal HD.
    I made two multitrack recordings (3-4 tracks each) which played back fine initially within Live. I then rendered the audio to AIFF in order to burn data and audio CDs.
    Testing the playback in iTunes, the audio was strangely pitched lower than what we originally recorded. Checking other tracks from my iTunes library, they were playing back FASTER or higher-pitched than normal, and so did audio streamed from MySpace that I was familiar with.
    CDs burnt from these AIFFs exhibited the same "lower pitch" / slower playback.
    Reopening the Live Set, they were now also playing back lower pitched than what we had heard just minutes beforehand during the recording / mixing.
    After I let the computer sleep for a few hours, I came back and checked -- system and internet audio was now playing back at normal speed, but the Live Set was still lower-pitched - the individual WAV files in the set were all pitched lower.
    The Live recording prefs were stock standard - set to record 24 bit WAV at 44.1Khz. Since the issue seemed to affect non-Live audio as well, I'm guessing it was something more at the CoreAudio level?
    I managed to salvage the session by taking the exported AIFFs into Tracktion 3 and using the pitch change function in the Clip Properties pane. One track was 1.5x off, the other was 1.125x off.
    I'm at a complete loss as to why this would happen. It's a first (and hopefully only) occurrence. Has anyone had this happen to them? Could this be some sort of intermittent hardware (clock) glitch? Something to do with 6.0.3 and OS 10.4.10?
    I do need to take this MacBook Pro in for servicing - it experienced the "bulging battery" issue and has a partially dead keyboard (the keys near the upper right) - but even with those issues I've not had audio issues like this.

    In any case, if my Mac had problems, I'd send it in for service....!!!
    About your problem, I don't think that it depends on hardware.
    I'd check Live configuration and the SR of the audio files: you know, Live has so many features to modify speed and a lot of other parameters that bacomes easy to forget something.
    Try recording something with Garage Band so you will be sure if there is a real problem.
    cheers

  • Robohelp scalability and speed

    I am encountering scalability/speed issues with a 4000 file
    Robohelp 6 project. This has 2000 HTML files and 2000 images.
    This appears to be the result of Robohelp performing a number
    of background file scanning/parsing threads that prevent the user
    interface refreshing in a timely manner. The problem is most acute
    at start up when it checks every HTML file in the project - the
    user interface only becomes responsive after about 90 seconds.
    There are also problems at other times particularly after saving a
    file that has multiple hyperlinks. At the current authoring rate I
    am adding about 1000 HTML files per year. Will Robohelp be usable
    in 12 months from now?
    As a test I created an artificial project containing 10,000
    empty HTML files and it was totally unusable. Does Robohelp 7 have
    the same scalability and speed issues?

    This has happened before for me too - I just recreated the
    folders, imported the topics back into them, and all was well. This
    happened after a CPD rebuild as well.
    I considered it a good thing - I am convinced that CPD bloat
    and the attempt to reconcile file and folder locations was slowing
    down the program significantly. The CPD just needed to be rebuilt.
    Of course, I have a large project, and it took a few hours to get
    back to running speed, but yours is about twice the size, so you
    will be down for awhile.
    If I were you, I wouldn't necessarily consider returning to
    the backed up dataset right away. You'll be back to the same
    performance issues. In your shoes, I would suck it up - just
    rebuild what needs to be rebuilt, and move on. And keep an eye on
    your CPD file size occasionally. I find that if the file size
    increases significantly all of a sudden, it's probably time to
    rebuild it.
    You may want to consider Peter's suggestion (reminiscence?)
    of breaking up your project into usable chunks and merging them.
    That's my two cents, take it for what it's worth.

    Lets just try and isolate the problem.
    In the setup of the AE, give different names to the two wireless bands.. so go into the airport utility.. click the AE, Click edit.. click the wireless tab.. and now type in a new name.
    Try AE24ghz
    Then click the wireless options and change the name for the 5ghz..
    Make it AE5ghz
    Then update the AE.
    In the computer.. select either band.. and see if your other clients are affected if they use the band that the Mac is not using.
    Alternatively turn off wireless in the macbook and use ethernet.. oh please please have a Mac with an ethernet port.. otherwise buy a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter.. it is well worth having. wireless is never to be trusted.

  • Fed up with speed and connection issues since exch...

    Last Monday BT done some upgrade work at our local exchange.  From that point onwards we have had speed and connection issues.
    I use a Belkin G Router rather that the Homehub some that we can run a printer through it and that is plugged in to telephone socket via an extension.  But before we blame any of that we have gone back to the Homehub2 so we could see the difference and there is very little.
    We live in the countrside so broadband speeds are not great in any case.  About 1.8 mg I guess but we have always had no problems.  It was good enough for us and we could watch Iplayer.
    I was getting fed up with drop outs and speed and yestereday an Openreach guy came out tested everything could not find any problems apart from speed.  He made some calls and was told our band width had been capped.  He had that removed and yesterday evening speed was a bit better.
    Today just as bad again.

    Hi Welcome to the forums
    Your high noise margin  will have a major impact  on your speed 
    If you post the full stats from your router
    For homehub – type 192.168.1.254 into your browser
    Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right of the home page and scroll down to ADSL Settings and click on it
    Click on More Details and then post the full results.
    also post the full results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
    Have you tried connecting to the test socket at the rear of the master socket
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    also you could try the hints given by poster RogerB in this link they may help http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-in-Home/Poor-Broadband-speed/m-p/14217#M8397
    Then someone here may be able to help and offer more advice.

  • Exchange 2010 DAG netowrk replications issues - Causing database copies to be disconnected and resynchronizing.

    My
    environment is as follows.<o:p></o:p>
    We have 3 exchange 2010 servers.<o:p></o:p>
    EX1, EX2, DREX1. All servers are exchange 2010 14.2 build 247.5<o:p></o:p>
    EX1 and EX2 have two nics, one LAN and one for BACKUP <o:p></o:p>
    The dag is configured to to communicate to all three.<o:p></o:p>
    The IP for EX1 is 192.168.100.51 - LAN, switch A; 160.100.3.51 - BACKUP, switch B<o:p></o:p>
    The IP for EX2 is 192.168.100.52 - LAN, switch A; 160.100.3.52 - BACKUP, switch B<o:p></o:p>
    DREX1 is located in another network. It is in another building connected via vpn. The ip
    for DREX1 is 192.170.100.51. There is no BACKUP network for this server<o:p></o:p>
    (These are not the actual address, but the concept is similar)<o:p></o:p>
    The dag network configuration is as follows.<o:p></o:p>
    DAGNetworkDR has a subnet of 192.170.100.0/24; Network Interface of 192.170.100.51<o:p></o:p>
    DAGNetwork01 (LAN) has a subnet of 192.168.100.0/24; Network Interfaces of 192.168.100.51
    and 192.168.100.52<o:p></o:p>
    DAGNetwork02 (BACKUP) has a subnet of 160.100.3.0/24; Network Interfaces of
    160.100.3.51 and 160.100.3.52<o:p></o:p>
    Last Friday, 3/7/14 something happened.<o:p></o:p>
    To lead up to that, I noticed the issue because we have DPM 2010 making 15minute express
    full backups of our exchange databases when I reviewed the backup jobs, the
    exchange database backups using dpm2010 failed all weekend long starting at
    11:00pm that Friday.<o:p></o:p>
    The issue that occurred was that the database copies went to a status of Disconnected and
    Resynchronizing, and after about 30 seconds, the status would show
    Resynchronizing.<o:p></o:p>
    All attempts to resolve this with the research methods failed.  Deleting the
    logs and reseeding failed, suspending, then rebuilding failed.<o:p></o:p>
    Creating a new database worked, creating a database copy worked, but seeding the copy
    failed. All with the same pattern, a status of Disconnected and
    Resynchronizing, and after about 30 seconds, and the status would show
    Resynchronizing.<o:p></o:p>
    The database was mounted on EX2, and seeding to EX1
    DREX1 has no issues.<o:p></o:p>
    All the DAG networks were in a good status, all Green and all up.  I could ping from
    EX1 to EX2 and from EX2 to EX1 on both networks fine.<o:p></o:p>
    In the middle of the week, about 3/12/14, we resolved the issue. We rebooted EX1, no
    fix, but after rebooting EX2, it all resolved.  It did a fail over to DREX1. I think it failed to do the failover to EX1. However, when it came back up, it was happy, it was reseeding slowly. After about an hour and a half, it
    was all healthy.<o:p></o:p>
    We thought it was all good EXCEPT, on Friday night at 11:00pmish on 3/14/14, the same
    issue occurred; a status of Disconnected and Resynchronizing, and after about
    30 seconds, the status would show Resynchronizing.<o:p></o:p>
    The database was mounted on EX2 and seeding to EX1 again. I did not notice the
    issue until I performed my review of the backup jobs again on Monday.<o:p></o:p>
    Late Monday morning, my boss and I were looking at more articles, but all the same results,
    delete the database copy and reseed. Which we knew would not work.<o:p></o:p>
    I mentioned that it was strange because the networks were all up. What made us try the next
    scenarios was just "luck" I guess. I made a statement about not remembering
    which networks DAG replication took place over.  Again, we have a LAN and
    a BACKUP network.  Bother were listed to use replication, so we decided to
    disable replication over the BACKUP network in the EMC. Immediately, the
    database copies switch to healthy and started seeding.<o:p></o:p>
    Later that evening I enabled replication over the BACKUP network and it failed again with
    a status of Disconnected and Resynchronizing, and after about 30 seconds, the
    status would show Resynchronizing.  I disabled the replication over the
    BACKUP network and the database copy went back to healthy<o:p></o:p>
    The last round of windows updates were pushed to these boxes the Friday before the
    issues began, 2/28/14.  I don't believe the updates to be the issue. <o:p></o:p>
    Can anyone make any suggestions as to where to look?  It worked with the BACKUP
    network enabled to so long that is eluding me as to why the issues would start
    all of a sudden. I am also confident that the switch configuration for the
    BACKUP network has not been changed at all in at least 2-3 months.  I am
    still open to look at the config. Please help if you can.<o:p></o:p>
     <o:p></o:p>
    Lastly, this is more of a monitoring thing, if anyone can suggest a good way to monitor
    the database copies so that I can be alerted when the status changes.  We
    use WhatsUpGold 16.2 to monitor the devices.  <o:p></o:p>
    Thanks for any future assistance.<o:p></o:p>

    You don't have to enable the Replication on Backup Network.
    You should collapse your DAG network.

  • Constant disconnects and slow speed

    Between 7am and 9pm my internet is just terrible. I lose connection pretty much all day. The longest I'm able to be online is maybe half an hour. It just goes out at random times and stays out until later at night and it will come back.
    Also my speed is just all over the place. When downloading stuff it goes from 380 kb/s to 100 kb/s and goes back and forth.
    I have a Westell 327w.
    Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0
    Vendor ID Code: 4
    Line Mode: G.DMT Mode
    Data Path: Interleaved
    Transceiver Information Downstream Path Upstream Path
    DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 3360 640
    Margin (dB) 21.5 10.0
    Line Attenuation (dB) 24.5 13.0
    Transmit Power (dBm) 7.3 11.9
    I forgot to mention that 2 technicians came out. The first one came out ran a test and said everything was fine. The second one came out and did a test and went up the street for something. He also said that the connection would go out for a day or two. It has been 2 and a half weeks since.

    #1 Margin (dB) - Signal to noise margin. 6 is pretty bad possibly unusable at times, 20 is very good. You normally want 12dB or better IIRC from back in my DSL days. The higher the number, the better to a point.
    Line Attenuation - Measure the amount the signal has degraded. Below 20dB is excellent, above 50 is poor, fill in the dots for anything in between.
    a) Did you try connecting your modem directly to the NID?
    Points to: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1317
    b) If not, please do and retest those margins and Line Attenuation.
