HH5 loses internet connection for a few seconds

I am struggling with the same issue for quite some time now.
We have HH5 Type A and BT Infinity 2 unlimited
All of a sudden it happens several times a day that we lose the internet connection. At the same time, the HH5 manager doesn't respond either.
I can not find anything in the HH5 event log that could tell me what causes it. First it started with the HH5 restarting on its own several nights in a row. Then I found out at least one of them was when they updated the firmware.
Last night according to the event log the hub restarted again for no apparent reason.
So this morning I was playing on my tablet and suddenly bang the connection was lost, I checked Hub manager via my PC and all I got was again can't connect. Tried to google and no internet on my PC either.
There is nothing in wired Lan or Wifi event viewer, I don't get an orange broadband light on the HH5. Everything looks like nothing has ever been wrong.
I have done a factory reset and that didn't help at all.
I keep getting this though

My iPad loses internet connection for 5-10 seconds several times a day.

My iPad loses internet connection for 5-10 seconds several times a day. I've had the iPad for 3 years without any problems.

Loosing my internet connection for a few seconds i...

Let me start by saying that I am an IT consultant and I have quite a bit networking experience.
I am suffering from connectivity issues for months. I talked with BT and they've said there was no problem with my line. Everything is fine. So I started to testing on my local environment.
Let me show the problem from my end before continue;
So seeing lots of package loss on the hop points. My first though "this can't be related with my equipment or flat" but hey, this is DSL with copper cables. There might be tons of reasons to see that.
So started to test;
First thing I've done was listening to dialing tone from the landline. Listened it for a bit and it was fine.
I was also seeing some package loss on the modem (192.168.1.1) so I removed my Wi-Fi router (192.168.2.1) and other equipment which were connected to my BT Home Hub 3, connect my laptop with cable and did more testing. Yep, BT hub was faulty. Replaced that with another TP-Link modem-router. Package loss on the 192.168.1.1 disappeared but connectivity issues were still there.
Replaced the splitter and the other cables while testing but no luck.
I plugged off every other devices and moved away from the modem's location by thinking that they may effect the copper cables. Still, no luck.
As a summary;
* Line is fine.
* Modem was faulty but replaced so modem is fine.
* Replaced the splitter and the cables.
* There is nothing to effect cables nearby.
After all these tests. I dialed 150 from my landline and explained the situation but all I've got was a stupid wireless troubleshooting email and nothing else. I have no idea what kind of customer service is this but;
Is this something known ?
Is there any other place to send this screenshot and explain the problem I have ?
Any suggestions/solutions/ideas?
Thanks in advance.

can you post tha adsl stats from your router plesae then run btspeedtester and when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post results

My iphone 4S has been updated to the newest software and isn't detecting internet, although sometimes it connects for a few seconds and then disappears again. I have tried everything it has said on the internet about this and it still isn't working.

Ok I think it's a problem with my router. I went to my cousin's house and the Wi-Fi worked there perfectly. I was even able to download many apps. So I guess my router probably can't take in more connections. Oh well thanks anyway.

Why does my ipod classic (80gb) connect for a few seconds then disconnect?

I have a ipod classic 80gb, granted its old, but it has a big memory so I can store my whole collection. Anyway, when I connect it to my PC (with windows 8.1) it will connect for a few seconds then disconnect. It will sometimes start to sync, but then disconnect after a few seconds. My computer is pretty new, Acer Aspire V5. I have tried reinstalling itunes, a new cable to connect it, different usb ports(2) and with and without the pc plugged into the mains, which is when it starts to sync for a brief second. Has anyone else had the same problem??

The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

I cannot sync my iphone 4 to my imac it connects for a few seconds then goes off

please can someone help me When i connect my iphone 4 to my imac using bluetooth it pairs up but only lasts for a few seconds then goes off and shows
not connected i have tried all sorts of ways but without success why is this happening am i the only one does anyone know the answer please

Seems like my problem - I have a new iPhone 4 and it does not want to pair with any device. It seems to connect, and is recognised by my MacBook pro, it shows the code that my Macbook shows, but then says it cannot connect. Neither did it connect to another imac, nor does it connect to my carphone. Have received a replacement (as I had bought the iPhone five days ago), have a new one now, but exactly the same problem. But I cannot alter the bluetooth settings on my iPhone, and restoring does nothing, nor leaving it in the completely unaltered setting, nor switching off all other wireless devices. Does anybody know how to solve this?

Extremely slow internet connection for past few mo...

Hello,
I am on a BT Total Broadband connection 'Option 3' (unlimited bandwidth). Router is connected to phone extension socket via ADSL micro filter.Been going strong for 3 years since setup. Since early October 2010, my connection speed suddenly dropped to an extreme low. There was no change at all around the home, nothing new, nothing removed. Prior to the sudden drop, the downstream was roughly around 9000 kbps according to HomeHub stats back then, which was good. But since early October and for the past few months the connection has not improved at all. Downstream has been staying constant at 462 kbs
I have also just tested against the test socket in the master socket, same result, no improvement.
Signal/Noise Margin is rather high from the average 6db I have read around the forums after looking into HomeHub stats (see below).

BT Speedtester results
Below is the BT speedtester results I have just carried out from http://speedtester.bt.com/:
Summary
So my connection has dropped from around 9000 kbps to an extreme and sudden low of 462 kbps since October 2010. I have a feeling my line was automatically throttled for unknown reasons, but i'm unsure. Or it could be the high signal/noise? Can anyone shed some light, advice, assistance?
Thanks in advance,

I've just carried out the 'Test Socket' test with my current phone (Phone A, a corded digital base phone) and router connected to the test socket via an ADSL micro filter. There was neither any improvement or degradation to the connection after 4 days. You can see the stats at the end of this post.
However, I have got hold of another corded phone (Phone B, corded only) and plugged this directly into the test socket and carried out the 'Quiet Line' test on 17070, and this time I can barely hear any noise, the noise I hear is very very faint, continuous and almost silent. Whereas when the test was carried out with Phone A under the same circumstances, the noise was truly noticeable and continuous with slight pulses.
In light of the above findings, i will soon carry out the same 'Test Socket' test this time with Phone B plugged into the test socket via the micro filter along with the router also connected for a few days to notice any changes in the speeds and report back.
This leads me to a question. How likely is it that a phone can introduce noise into the line and affect the broadband connection? Has anyone else experienced this (or heard of)?
Also, since my connection has been constantly slow for a few months now, will it take longer than usual for my broadband speed to reach normality due to IP profiling (from what I have read around)?

I have serious problems with I OS 6 - I am loosing internet connection after a few seconds or minutes. What can I do? Can I come back IO S 5.1.1.?

I am experiencing serious problems after downloading iOS 6. I am loosing my connection after a few seconds/minutes. What can I do? Can you come back to 5.1.1.? How can I do that?

You can't downgrade the iOS.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Time Capsule drops Internet connection for 2-5 seconds

Is anyone having an issue with losing internet connection for about 2-5 seconds randomly? Started after I got the Time Capsule. First noticed it when my phone calls would drop for a second(Vonage). Did not think much of it until I noticed it dropping while playing online games?
Any Ideas? I hear it could be the latest firmware upgrade but can’t remember if this happened before.

If your Windows boxes are on the same WiFi network, that could be. I use to work with PC's and Macs combined. Not to bash Windows , but a number of problems we had were always Windows related.
You might try and just unhook your Windows boxes and see if it goes away! LOL

Airport Extreme drops connection for a few seconds at a time

My airport extreme seems to drop its connection for about 5 seconds at a time and then is back up. It does it every 10-15 minutes or so. I am not really sure why it is doing this because it has just started happening recently and worked fine for months and months. I need help because I dont know much about networking.

When you inserted your AirPort Extreme (It was an AirPort Extreme card, right?) card in your G5, did you attach the antenna cable AND the external "T" antenna?

Ichat only connects for a few seconds on Tiger but not on Leopard??

I have two laptops, a MBP with 10.4.11 and MB running 10.5.2..
When I am speaking with someone on video ichat on tiger, the connection only lasts for a couple of seconds then freezes and shows error messages like "No Data sent in last ten seconds" and Insufficient bandwidth" although my internet connection is fine, I have 6mb download and 450kb upload with a Netgear wireless Modem CG81..
On my MB with leopard, I can speak anyone else fine and don't get any error messages?
My MBP with tiger has been set in system prefs for the quicktime streaming speed as 1.5mbs?
What else can I do? Why is this happening?

Hi,
I could not see anywhere that I would clearly suggest was the equivalent place in any of those pics.
It may not have it.
It may be the other end.
But it is common with Netgears so I would search all the menus.
Also keep an eye out for anything that says about blocking or allowing Internet Pings
If you have a Later device or have upgraded the Firmware it may well have UPnP.
On most Netgears that have this it is ON by default.
If it is left on it will clash with the Port Forwarding.
As to setting the ports. Some devices set Protocols for the ports (UDP or TCP and sometime Both/Any) whilst doing Port Forwarding. (not all do)
Check that the ports that are used twice (5190 and 5298) are set to allow UDP and TCP as that is most likely what you came across.
In the Second Link they have "Both" showing in "iChat6" and this matches "iChat1"

I'm installing Arch on a system that only has a WiFi; no big deal.
So, I get the live CD and
1. Start it and choose the network install (that's the only choice for this CD)
2. Go to tty2 and issue the following commands:

Thank you for the reply guys!!
@treysis, In the logs I got an error something like "<eissid> deauthenticated (reason 6)" or something to that effect and I was wondering what that means... I suppose you are correct and that the system is trying to tell me that I need to use wpa_supplicant. I hope that's part of the install CD
I'll give it a try and I'll report back .
Thanks for the help and ideas.

My iPad 2 worked fine until the upgrade to 5.1. Now when it connects to airport on my Mac it loses the connection in a few seconds.

I've asked friends who have had similar experience after the upgrade.

A few things to try.
Before doing these, turn off your Internet modem, your computer, your iPad and your router.
Then start the devices in this order
Modem
Router
Computer
iPad
Wait until each device is running and connected to the Internet before starting the next device. If this works forget the next two items.
1. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap the little blue arrow to the right of your network name > Forget this Network
Then let you iPad reconnect and see if it then works properly.
2. Go to Settings > General > Reset (scroll to the bottom) > Reset Netork settings.
Then reboot your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. After the iPad restarts see if yourvipad will find and connect to the network.
