Home Hub keep dropping the connection

Hi, getting rather fed up with this now,  i have a HH2 and phoned BT and spoke to someone in India he tested what he could and decided to send me another Home Hub 2.0.
In the mean time i changed all the filters on the sky tv and the land line socket, got new HH and fitted it, went to change setting and password and it dropped out, so i did this again and again and again and well you get the idea, same old problem different day, i do downloads and leave the computer on of a night and in the morning i have no connection, not just once but all the time, during the day at anytime i get drop outs frequently and its really gets on my nerves resetting the poxy hub
Any ideas?.....thanks
Daf

Hi, i ran the test and its asking me this
Go to the start menu, click Settings, Control Panel and the Network Connections folder.
Select the Connection that you use to connect to your ISP.
Change the Username to: speedtest@speedtest_domain and blank the Password.
Set this connection as your default and click Ok.
Double click the connection and wait for the message "Connected".
Once this has successfully Connected, click the button below:
I havent got a clue what its on about and i tried, since i posted i have had to reboot the hub 3 times today, not good at all, since i came from a ISP that was better than what im getting and cheaper!
I am on a wireless Belkin N
Im sorry i cant do what the computer is asking as i dont know how, if you can bare with me and list in laymens turns i might be able to do it?
Thanks for your time, shame BT cant come round and sort the mess out ...pigs may fly

  • My AppleTV2 keeps dropping the connection to itunes on my PC.

    My AppleTV2 keeps dropping the connection to itunes on my PC
    If i retstart iTunes or homesharing it starts up again but only for a few minutes.
    This is hopeless and has been happening to many others- please can you give me a fix for this?

    I have the same problem with my apple tv and itunes. Home sharing is on but it keeps dropping out every couple of minutes - really annoying! I noticed tonight that it drops out when i select the shows and music in my library on the TV with the remote that comes with apple tv, but when i play tv shows or my music by selecting clicking play from itunes on my laptop it works. There's definitely a bug but try this work around and see if you have any luck.

  • Why does my ipad 2 keep dropping the connection to my BT Home Hub, whilst streaming video, since upgrading to IOS 6?

    Ever since i have upgraded to IOS6 My connection to my BT Hub 3 wifi router keeps dropping out whenever i am streaming video. I have an Apple TV connected as well which is fine as are other devices, its just the Ipad since the move to IOS6. It is really frustrating and i had hoped the 6.01 release would have resolved it, but it didnt. I have seen other similar comments, i just want to know if this is a common known fault which Apple are going to fix.
    The strength of Apple has always been 'it just works' , i can't help but feel that there are cracks appearing in this.

    Some things to try first:
    1. 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.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. 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
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Atv2 keeps dropping the connection to i tunes. I get a message telling me to open home sharing even though i have done so and i tunes is open on my iMac. This is not a new problem but it has gotten worse progressively

    ooops.starting again. The connection to i tunes via apple tv keeps dropping after a very short period of time. T get a message telling me to turn on home sharing when its is turned and and i tunes is open on my mac. I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74) but as the problem was happening before this i feel thats not significant. Any help would be appreciated

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply and the analogy, one can overlook the fact that it could be something other than the device that is the cause of the problem and i realise that, however frustration can creep in and cause one to overlook obvious things. I have spoken to my ISP and we have examined a number things, firstly my download speed on wireless which is a healthy 16mbps. Next the channels being used around me, which were numbers one, six and eleven, and we changed my channel to three. It would appear that those using eleven are mobile users with no fixed landline. I do not have any electrical devices anywhere near the ATV except for the TV itself, a DVD recorder and a PC computer only rrecently set up there and after the problems started anyway. I have removed the PC entirely from the room and it has no effect on the situation with the ATV. In the same room but some distance from the ATV, a lamp and the telephone base station, which has to be close to the socket which is in the same room as the TV and the ATV of course. The problem continues. I have actually tried connecting ATV by ethernet to the router, and last night that worked, today however it refuses to do anything at all.
    At this moment in time i have the computer connected via ethernet cable, though it connects by wireless perfectly. I have the ATV connected vis ethernet, and it fails to connect to iTunes at all.
    Overall i have stripped the thing down to its basics and started from scratch again more than once. I am not particularly clever, nor am i stupid. For me all i really want is to be able to plug this stuff in and have it do what it says on the tin. So far i have spent a great deal of time trying to figure out what is wrong with ATV, a device that cost £99 plus a few months ago, purchased 17th March this year, and i, like everyone else i suspect, have better things to do with my time. If you have any advice, help or suggestions i would be most grateful. Please do not think that my tone is in any way a criticism of you personally, its just a very frustrating experience.
    Many thanks

  • Home hub keeps disconnecting and connecting to BTW...

  • Airport Extreme keeps dropping the connection

    Hi,
    I have this model:
    http://www.apple.com/airportextreme/
    It is connected to the main router which is for TalkTalk, router is just a standard Broadband Wireless N ADSl2+ Router.
    My settings in my AE are:
    Internet
    Connect Using: DHCP
    IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.2
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router Address: 192.168.1.1
    (nothing else is filled in)
    Internet Options
    Configure IPv6: Link-local only
    Wireless
    Network Mode: Create a wireless network
    Wireless Security: WPA2 Personal
    Wireless Options
    5ghz network name - ticked
    Radio Mode: 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g
    2.4ghz Channel: 1
    5ghz Channel: 40
    Network
    Router Mode: Off (Bridge Mode)
    Is there anything else I can do? Can I give you some more information?

    Overall the settings look good, except for the 2.4 GHz wireless channel in use.
    When you say that the connection is being dropped, is this a wired connection to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme......or.......are you talking about wireless connections to the AirPort Extreme?
    If wireless, have you connected a laptop or desktop directly to one of the LAN ports on the AirPort as a test to see if drops occur with that type of connection?
    Regarding wireless channels......
    Channel 1 is the most crowded channel in the world, since most routers default to that setting. If you have other wireless networks around you, they are likely interfering with your wireless network, causing disruptions.
    Try a higher setting like Channel 11, or 13 if it is available in your area.  Then work down a channel at a time to see if you can find a good one to use.

  • My iPad will connect to the Internet but my iMac keeps dropping the connection or connects very slow.

    My iPad is working fine and connecting to the internet no problem. My iMac computer, when I check the system preferences and I go into network it says my network is working fine and I appear to be connected to the Internet, yet when I going try to go on safari it won't let me connect to the Internet or if it does the connection is slow. When I do manage to connect to the internet, the connection drops quickly. What do I do?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
    Are all network applications slow, or only some? If only some, which ones?
    Is networking always slow, or only sometimes?
    Disconnect all other devices from the network. Any change?
    If you can connect to more than one network, are they all slow?
    If possible, connect to your router with an Ethernet cable and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
    Boot in safe mode and test. Any difference?

  • Home Hub 3 Dropping Skype Connection

    I have just replaced my HH 2 for the HH 3 and find that when connected to Skype the connection is lost after aprox 10 mins of usage and my PC locks up and I have to reset my PC to obtain connection again.
    I am connected to the HH 3 by the Ethernet cable.
    I had no problems using Skype with my HH 2.
    Have temporarily turned off the Auto chan selection to see if this may improve and hold Skype conectivty.
    Software Version: 4.7.5.1.83.8.57.1.3 Type A.
    Any advise very welcome.

    as connection time only 2min there is little to see apart from a good connection with noise margin at the normal of 6db.  stats are more help if you Can post with longer connection time - longer the better
    have you tried replacing the filter as they don't last forever

  • SmartView 11.1.2 keeps dropping the connection

    I have an SR on this but figured I would try here as well. I believe this has been thrown over to development. We have installed SmartView 11.1.2 and we can connect and retrieve data. We are on 2008 OS, 64 bit. About every 3 or 4 drills in excel SmartView loses the connection. To get around this we just hit refresh all or sometimes just try it again and it seems to re-connect. Anyone else have this issue?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hi,
    I checked. Patch solves the problem. But you must install:
    - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766A6AF7-EC73-40FF-B072-9112BAB119C2&displaylang=en
    - then -> patch
    Open IIS console and uncheck the Virtual Memory Usage and the Private Memory Usage (On the Application Pools page, select the application pool used by HFM).
    Restart all Oracle Hyperion and IIS services.
    In our case, these steps helped.
    Best regards,

    It may be that your line has had DLM (Dynamic Line Management) kick in and slow your speeds down if it saw a fault/problem on your line. If the problem has been resolved DLM will slowly raise the speed back up. This is an automated process and can but not necessarily will take up to two or three weeks.

  • Wi Fi Light On Home Hub Keeps dropping

    I know this subject comes up every now and again but my Blue Wi Fi Light keeps going out every couple of minutes which is causing all my wireless devices to lose connection (very frustrating).
    I've tried changing channels and turning everything on and off but could it be a problem that is beyond my powers to resolve?
    I hope someone can help,
    Phil

    There are 13 channels to choose from, if you disable smart wireless.
    Smart wireless ony checks channels 1, 6, and 11.  These are quite often in use, which is why it keeps retrying them.

  • I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to restore my ipad.  it will also drop the wifi connection every few mintues.  what can be causing this?

    I keep getting the "connect to itunes" screen and have to connect to itunes and do a restore on it.  It will not pick up my ipad so I either have to do a restore or restore to new and it will work fine for a day or so except for dropping the wifi connection.  What can be causing this?  I have had this pad since January of this year and have not had any problems until recently. 

    If you have to keep restoring your iPad with iTunes repeatedly and there is no change after restoring as a new iPad or not from the iPad's backup, your iPad has a major problem - likely a hardware problem. The iPad includes a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • Airport keeps dropping the wireless connection to my network 2 or 3 times a day.

    Hi,
    Since apple's recent firmware update for my macbook pro, airport keeps dropping the wireless connection to my network 2 or 3 times a day. It then searches for a network but can't find it, but if I select my network manually it connects immediately ???
    Any fixes for this ..... in layman's language please!
    Thanks,
    Steve

    It is not the router. There are a number of factors that are involved. If the router is a G/N router you may have to switch to G-Only (or disable N). You may also have a 5 GHz wireless phone or other routers in the neighborhood interfereing with the signal.
    Try this:
    1. Open network preferences. Take note of what IP address is assigned. Then, click Advanced.
    2. Click on TCP/IP and select Using DHCP with manual address and type the IP address below that.
    3. Click OK.
    4. Set your Router to Wireless-G only (or disable N) and change the channel to 11 or some higher number.
    This should keep it from dropping the wireless connection. It is a bug in the OS. Apple has not fixed it in 3 years.
    You wireless connection will be a tad slower, but you really won't notice.
    Hope that helps.

  • My MBP keeps dropping the internet connection

    Since yesterday, my MBP (Late 2011) keeps dropping the internet connection from my Airport Express.  I'm still connected to the network, it just loses the internet connection on the MBP.  I restart the computer, and it works for a few minutes.  I turn off router, and it works for a few mimutes...but no matter what I do, after 2-3 minutes, I get the exclamation mark in the wifi indicator saying there is no internet connection.
    And this is only happening on that single MBP.  All of the other devices in the house, another MBP (mid 2012), an iPad (retina with lightning connector) and 2 iPhones (one 4 and one 5), can all connect.  And the router we have is an airport express. 
    Why is this happeneing only on the one computer, and how can I fix this?
    Thanks.

    First, changing your DNS settings could not possibly have any effect on this problem.
    When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
    Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
    Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

  • IMAC keeps dropping the internet connection using Wi-Fi.

    iMAC keeps dropping internect connection when using wi-fi.

    Best way ti fix it !
    iMac and MacBooks have the  ( PHY Mode:    802.11n ) as standard
    there not supporting 802.11g or other types
    what you need to do
    go About this Mac  > More Info... > Overview > Than > System Report..
    Than from the lest under Network - Wi-Fi
    you will get report about your network Interfaces ,
    your router name here  :
      PHY Mode:    802.11n
      BSSID:    bc:76:70:5d:c6:a7
      Channel:    7
      Country Code:   
      Network Type:    Infrastructure
      Security:    WPA2 Personal
      Signal / Noise:    -74 dBm / -101 dBm
      Transmit Rate:    52
    make sure that your router setting on your router match the machine
    in example the router set on : Mode:    802.11n only !
    and Security:    WPA2 Personal
    after that you mac will work faster and smooth
    why is that happened ?
    when your router set in auto mode , if any other pc or laptop join the network the router will change the mode from 802.11n than your mac will lose the connection setting and you will need to refresh the network
    agin and agin and agin .
    make sure you buy good router that support 802.11n
    very easy job takes me 1 year for find it and no one have the right answer on the net
