Disconnects on Accessing HH and Random Disconnects...

System is BT HH Ver 2.0 Type B with Firefox v.3.6.13
On a number of occasions I have found random disconnects in the event log and disconnects when I go to access the HH and type in my password, when the BB light goes out and then the yellow comes on and it begins the reconnect sequence.   These are shown in the Log, but it doesn't seem to make any obvious change to the line synch rate.

The events at 20:02 and 22:55 were caused by my accessing the HH and typing in my password.   The others were random disconnects - the HH has not been switched off for some days and the computer was only switched on aorund 15:00 hrs.
The line synch rate at 23:12 is
Downstream    10,134 Kbps
Upstream    1,078 Kbps
The changes to the Noise Margin/Attneuation and Power are very minor fractions of a dB from previous checks.  The line is quiet.  Distance to the Crowthorne exchnage is ca 966m.
I have even had disconnects using IE 6.0 on Feb 3.
Does anybody else get these effects?   Is it a faulty HH?   Is it some interference on the line?
This looks similar to the problem under "home hub keeps resetting" from "technobaz" today

Further to the saga of disconnects shown by my HH2 Events Log I have had helpful support from Forum
Moderators.   They arranged for OpenReach technician to call again subsequent to the 25 Feb visit on 9
March.    The Moderators could still see my line problems from their site (where ever that is!).   I have had
the HH2 Type B powered on for over two months (to ensure line stability) and the line Down Rate has
gradually reduced
17 Jan 2011     Downstream    11,347 Kbps      Upstream    828 Kbps
        Noise margin (Down/Up)    14.8 dB / 12.6 dB
        Line attenuation (Down/Up)    27.0 dB / 11.9 dB
9 Mar 2011    Downstream    1,151 Kbps     Upstream    1,078 Kbps
         Noise margin (Down/Up)    27.9 dB / 8.0 dB
        Line attenuation (Down/Up)    26.7 dB / 11.8 dB
the ADSL statistics had varied slightly over the period and the Event Log typically showed disconnects with
the text, e.g.
Feb 2 06:13:45 2011    (112240.430000) danube_dsl_ioctl:73: Failed ioctl 270 errno 22

Feb 1 22:42:42 2011    (85267.560000) danube_dsl_ioctl:73: Failed ioctl 250 errno 22
My line still showed the disconnects.    I also tried my neighbour's HH2 Type A for 24 hrs on 7/8 Mar for
comparison.  He was getting no disconnects on his line.   The Type A Event Log  showed on the 8 Mar my
line disconnects, albeit in a slightly different set of "text language" to the Type B -  so it was not a router
problem!

On the 9 Mar visit, OpenReach made a series of comprehensive tests isolating the house/manhole line,
checking equipment in the exchange and green street interface box/exchange line.   My house line (some
10m) was showing good insulation resistance and similarly the box/exchange line a very high insulation
resistance.   The value surprised me, but a Google check shows a value of 10000 Mohms/km may be 
typical.   
However, somewhere between the green box and my pavement manhole the insulation resistance was low.
I am now awaiting for the bad section to be located and my present twisted pair to exchanged for a good
pair.   I hope after a few days the Line Synch Rate may get back to the original values.

  • New DSL service and random disconnects

    Hello, I just moved into a brand new house and had Verizon DSL installed a few days ago. Everything is brand new in the home, and even the neighborhood itself. I'm experiancing random disconnect from the internet. I have the Verizon DSL 3mps plan and the Westell 7500 wireless router/modem. All the lights on the modem stay green but the internet light will just go out. It won't flash or anything. It just loses it's connection. When I reboot the route/modem it will then reconnect to the internet. Sometimes it can stay connected for 12 hours other times it will disconnect every 15 minutes. The DLS light stays connected however the whole time. I have no phones/faxes/DVR's hooked into my phone jacks. The only device hooked into a phone jack is my modem. I lost the log files of my last disconnect when I rebooted the modem. If you need that I can post it later when it disconnects again. Here are some specs from the router:

    Do you have a house alarm? The alarm uses the phone to dial out and needs a special filter installed at the alarm jack. (RJ31X)

  • Odd sounds and random disconnect!!!

    Hello,
    I have just updated to iso7 and had to make a call lastnight.
    during the call the iphone (5) made a high pitched odd sound and then went silent and then disconnected me, i called back and again it happened during my call.
    this happened a total of 3 times...
    please help...

    any one?

  • I use Firefox as my browser. I have Norton 360 Premier and my Windows firewall is off. Yet I experience frequent and random disconnects from the Internet. How do I prevent these actions? H. C.

    I use Time Warner for ISP and do not have wireless features. The modem appears to have a live link even when Firefox indicates the internet connection has disconnected. The signal strength has been checked by T-W. further, this problem predates my use of Time Warner cable and in a different geographic location.
    When I attempt to reestablish the connection I get the error message that Firefox is not responding. When I restart or reboot from a shutdown the connection can always be made.
    sometimes the disconnect occurs very soon and sometimes hours later. Help!

    Symantec have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US

  • WRT350N - version and random disconnects?

    Is it true that WRT350N disconnects a lot, i.e. cannot hold connection? How can you tell which version it is BEFORE buying it? thanks,

    The version no. is mentioned on the router( at the bottom).
    I intend to buy it but I've heard so many bad things so now I hesitate to buy this brand. Which version should I look for? And if I can influence it as vendors sell whatever they have and don't have time to disclose these details. Thanks,

  • Very slow broadband speed and random disconnection...

    I have a problem with my home hub and broadband connection. The download speed is ridiculously low at only 768 kbits per second. I have been running speed tests all week and the speed has been getting gradually slower and slower starting at around 1.4mbits and lowering to between 0.4 and 0.8 mbps.The broadband is also losing connection every so often.
    This has been happening for a few weeks now, ever since the broadband and phone lights on my Hub turned orange, then continually flashed orange, went green then went off and then back to orange, flashed orange, then green then off and this cycle repeated until I restarted my Hub. Upon restarting the power light turned solid red and did not change. So I restarted it again. This time it rebooted properly (or so it seems to have). Before this the hub was (still slow) around 2mbps although this was much better than the speed now.
    I have a BT home hub version 1.5. I am on Bt Broadband option 3 meaning I should have unlimited broadband. Reason why I am asking for help is I am getting lag when ever I play games on My xbox 360 or browse on my laptop.  Im in scotland, dundee in the DD2 post code area if that matters.
    I have not tried plugging directly into the main telephone socket yet but as I have been using BT for well over 4 years and not had as little speed as this Im doubtful its due to interferance.
    Any help would be fantastic. I just want to be able to play my **bleep** xbox again
    Here is the DSL information. I have recently restarted my Hub (due to the broadband cutting out again). This is why the uptime is so low.

    Quick update: Well, I moved my hub and have plugged it into the master test socket... Couldn't connect at all wirelessly, so I had to phone up the BT helpline, they changed the wireless channel and I got on after that (however the assistant said that my plugging into the socket should not have disabled the wireless.) As for the speed, well, needless to say there is little to no improvement. I cannot post my DSL stats, as I cannot even connect to my home hub via the ip address and the bthomehub.home address as the connection times out.
    The speedtester on the other hand is working. Here are those results:

    I have noticed that the DSL downstream speed has shot up remarkably (by about 4000) since plugging it in to the test socket, but for some reason, the IP profile is still very low, I would have expected it to have went up at least a little but it has remained the same for the past 2 days now should I be concerned with this or give it some more time?
    Oh and I have an engineer coming to the house on friday, turns out when my parents were installing the broadband accelerator they inadvertently knocked out the wires to the extensions and now none of the extensions in the house are working so I hope he or she can resolve things with my speed and I will update on Friday evening, and again next Wednesday(after the 5 day period) to see if the IP profile speed has improved.

  • Sporadic random disconnects this week, very bad to...

    I've never had any problems with BT Home 2.0 until this week, I have moved nothing about in my room nor adjusted any settings on the hub and my PC. I have changed the filter and still the same problems occur. I've noticed a lot CRC /HEC errors on the up stream... I live in Bristol if that might help to solve the problem. Maybe something next door could be affecting the line or a BT engineer has messed around with something on the exchange? (I am using a wired connection BTW). Any help and suggestions appreciated, thanks, Rob.

    Sorry I can't offer any magic suggestions.   I had been getting regular disconnects for some months and even though I was keeping the router continuoulsy powered to avoid loss of line synchronisation it still was occurring.   See my comments in the thread "Re: Disconnects on Accessing HH and Random Disconnects at Night" for 10 Feb. 
    The Forum Moderators were very helpful and responded to my queries and arranged four visits from OpenReach to try and sort out the problem.    Eventually they decided that there was a fault in the exchange boards and made some change.  Subsequently I kept the router powered up until the 13 May to make sure there was no synchronisation interrupts.   The line eventually stabilised at 14,336 kbps.   It has remained at that even with my logical disconnects at night from the HH Home Page.
    I found from a search back in Jan as reported in the thread "Re: HH Type B Energy Consumption & Switching Off the Router" , that the Type A software version was 8.1.H.J.  I don't know if it has been upgraded since.   I have found for my Type B that when received it back in Oct 2010 the ver was 4.7.5.1.83.3.5. and it is now ....83.3.18.   -  when it was changed/upgraded I don't know.
    As I say, although I still get random disconnects, it doesn't seem to affect my line rate.   Not sure if it is noise on the line (i have made a quiet line check and that is OK) as the Noise Margin is ca 7.6-9.1dB.   I get disconnects sometimes when I try to look at the ADSL Settings, etc., having typed in the password for access.  I have just looked at my Events Log and there have been a number of disconnects today since the router was logically connected at 14:04 this afternoon; 5 in total I think!   And the rate is still shown as 14,336 kbps.

    Having said that your rate is quite reasonable and unless you are playing games or watching videos perhaps the interrupts will not be serious.   We only use it for email, family history, ebay and browsing so it is not really noticeable.

  • My phone will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I retype the password it says it is wrong. It will eventually work but I have to wait for a message to pop up on my screen to allow me to retype the wifi password.

    When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots?  A specific one?
    Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
    What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router?

  • Random Disconnection From My Wireless Access Point

    I got my MacBook a few weeks ago, wand I'm loving it... for the most part.
    Info: I've been using my Linksys WRT54G router for years. I've never had a problem. I currently have a desktop Mac connected to it along with my MacBook, and the connection on the Mac is fine.
    *The problem:* My MacBook doesn't hold a steady connection to my router, even when I'm just mere feet away.
    *What happens:* I have a very strong connection on my WiFi with the built-in AirPort. Then, a few seconds later, all of the 4 bars drop to 0 for a few seconds, jump back to 4, go back down to 0... you get the picture. I find this frustrating, as the internet may shut down for a minute at a time, regain connection for a few seconds, and then lose connection after about 10 seconds. I am unable to use iChat (it shuts down whenever I lose connection), or easily browse the internet.
    *I know it's not the router. My desktop Mac connects with ease. Should I take my MacBook to a Genius Bar?*

    ... that's a couple of the major threads about this issue, that has been going on since June.

  • The Wi-Fi randomly disconnects, and now it is not even available as an option in the "Network Preferences" area.

    After having the MacBook Pro for about 1.5 years, the Wi-Fi randomly disconnected. Ethernet works fine, however, whenever I tried clicking "Turn Wi-Fi On", nothing happens. I have tried a SMC reset, resetting the PRAM (resetting the PRAM worked for a bit and then suddenly it didn't), and shutting down/restarting the laptop multiple times. Often times does the Wi-Fi turn back on, however it immediately disconnects after about a minute. Now I have come to a point where, in the Network Preferences area, the Wi-Fi option is not available on the list that is on the left side of the preferences. A PRAM reset solved this case, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore. I took it into a local Mac store, where they said that they would need to check if it was the Wi-Fi card that was causing the problem and would need to charge me $50 for the tech service to check it out (which is obviously what I would not do...at least if there is some way to go around this). Help.

    I am also suspicious that your WiFi card may have a probelm.
    Do an SMC Reset before you do anything else.

    An appointment at the genius Bar at an Apple store is FREE, in warranty or out.
    Apple only charges for services when parts are needed, and then it is a flat rate for the repair, no diagnosis fees and no surprises.

    Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
    On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

  • USB drive randomly disconnects (and causes deep traversal in Time Machine)

    I have two external drives connected through a USB hub and they get sometimes randomly disconnected. Sometimes when I plug the drives in, only one appears on the desktop. Then I unplug them, plug them back in and just the other drive appears.
    The other problem is that I back up one of the drives to the other using Time Machine and when the drive disappears by itself, Time Machine needs to perform deep traversal of the whole drive AND backs up the whole drive from scratch (see the console log below).
    Any suggestions are appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Peter

    The USB hub could have a problem (or not enough power); try connecting the drives directly to the Mac and see what happens. Is it a powered USB hub, and are the drives self-powered (i.e. each drive gets its own power from a wall socket/surge protector)?

  • HT201415 I was randomly disconnected from my WIFI and i went to the troubleshooting page, but that did not work and it won't let me chat with apple support. Please help.

    I was recently disconnected from my WIFI and it wont even budge to turn it back on. I tried the troubleshooting and that did not work. Apple won't connect me to tech support and i could really use help. Please.

  • Mac Pro randomly disconnecting USB devices

    Hello All,
    Am hoping someone out there will be able to advise me. I have a 1TB external SATA drive connected directly to one of my Mac Pro USB ports, (that is, not via a USB hub). The Mac Pro has a habit of randomly disconnecting the drive during file transfers. It seems to particularly do it when the screen saver initiates itself. I've disabled the screen saver but unfortunately that hasn't resolved the problem. The problem itself doesn't seem to be isolated to the external USB hard drive either. The Mac has on occasions disconnected other USB devices too.
    Any suggestions or ideas on what the cause of it is and how I resolve it?
    Many thanks

    Yes Grant, I've exchanged the power suppply, cables, the HUB and also the HDD and checked them on my MBP - they work fine. The only USB slot that's working fine is the one on the PCI-E Card. All internal Ports do eject the USB HDD's and also have problem with Printercommunication. I can mount the USB HDD without Problem, until I want to access a larger File or transfer data from or to it, then it ejects itself - well after freezing the Computer for 5min first, until the unmount message appear.
    By the way: Sorry, was a bit frustrated. I'm working as an Freelance Editor and really need to have a working USB. But the only thing I found were a huge amount of questions to the same problem, but no solution. And from apple side the only advice was to not use third party device or use only powered HDD's and HUB's. That's not really helpful...
    GPJ007:  Ok, I hoped to not have to make a new Setup of the OS and all the program. Well in a few weeks there is a gap in the order chain, I'm going to reinstall the OS then and let you know about sucess or not.
    Thanks in advance

  • Bonjour Gateway - Airplay / AirServer - Random Disconnects

    I am experiencing random disconnects during an Airplay session to AirServer. Airserver disappears from the screen and Airplay session is gone. Here is the details of my setup:
    WLC 5508 7.5.102.0
    1142n APs
    AirServer (1.9.4) installed on wired PCs.
    Wireless clients (iOS Devices 7.x and 6.x) use Airplay to mirror to the PCs running AirServer.
    APs are in mDNS mode and snooping the vlan the PCs reside in.
    Wireless clients in separate BYOD WLAN.
    Enabled bonjour gateway and mDNS AP (trunk mode)

    Enabled videostream
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10315/products_tech_note09186a0080b6e11e.shtml
    Verified via packet capture the client traffic is being marked for QoS (and Gold enabled on BYOD WLAN)
    Differentiated Services Field: 0x80 (DSCP 0x20: Class Selector 4; ECN: 0x00:  Not-ECT (Not ECN-Capable Transport))
    This is an intermittent issue. I can play a YouTube video for 60 mins with no issues sometimes. Sometimes the disconnect happens. WLC mdns error debug output does not look significantly different when the crash happens.
    Any thoughts? Similar experience?

    Alright, long story short: Got a wirless repeater, set the printer up to connect wireless, now everything works fine, including AirPrint.
    Btw.: Even though it says it is not possible, it is actually possible to access the printer via WLAN and LAN (wired) simultaneosly.
    Thanks anyway. I think this can be marked as solved
