Homehub 3 problems with wifi and network - please ...

I am hoping someone can help me, as I am struggling to work out why I am getting so many problems with my network at home.
I have BT Infinity, and a Homehub 3A. I have had BT broadband for years. Infinity was added in Feb 2013. The HH3A is the original one supplied to me years ago.
When Infinity was installed I also added a pair of TP Link powerline adapters, to provide a connection to an unmanaged network switch in the lounge.
A rough outline of what I have connected to the router is:
Wired
- Synology NAS Diskstation
- Win7 laptop
- powerline adapter
Wifi
- 3 iphones
- 2 ipads
- Win7 laptop
- 2 Win Vista laptops
Powerline / network switch
- Sonos bridge
- TV
- BluRay
- Vodafone booster
- SkyHD
Recently I am getting a number of different problems:
1) wifi drops to everything connected to the router, at the same time, all blue lights are on the router
I lose wifi connection to the internet, from all devices, at the same time, but also the connection from my laptop to the NAS drops.
2) Anything connected to the Powerline adapter is rarely available
I try and connect to Sonos, or my sky box or the TV, but they aren't connected to the router. The lights on the powerline adapters indicate everything is fine, and the HH3 has all blue lights. But my iphone and laptop cannot find my Sonos. My iphone app cannot find my sky box. And on the TV it says it is not connected to the internet. To solve this problem I have to power cycle the pair of Powerline adapters.
Some observations:
1) these problems are all since Infinity was installed. I have no idea if that is relevant.
2) My NAS Diskstation has a powersave mode. I noticed last night that when I woke it up, the powerline adapters disconnected briefly, before reconnecting. But when they did reconnect I could not access anything connected to them. It was as if the NAS had booted them off the network, and then they couldn't get back on.
3) I run a 10m brand new Cat5e cable from the infinity modem to my router, because the modem is in the garage.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out with this.
Thanks for any help.

If you set the devices on the home hub to always use the same IP address, then that can help.
The problem is that when the DHCP lease expires, the home hub often gives the device a different IP address, and this breaks the port forwarding rules.
Some routers allow you to specify which IP addresses are to be reserved, but the home hub does not.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

    This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451 relates to the 3194 error. Generally this error has to do with trying to install an iOS that is not the most current. Maybe you tried to jailbreak the phone, or downgrade iOS? Any of this apply to you?

  • I am facing problem with wifi and cellular after update  Apple iOS 8.0.2

    How can we resolve the issue with wifi and cellular reception after update the iOS 8.2 on iPhone 5s 32 GB

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

  • Problems with wifi and airplay

    I recently purchased an apple tv 3rd generation
    I have been having issues like:
    1) No video but audio plays and also no audio but video playing, when I use mirroring on my mid 2011 macbook pro running mountain lion
    2) I have to restart my router every 15 mins to fix stalling wifi connectivity
    3) Even when apple tv is switched off, the problem exists but disappears when I unplug it off the network
    Other info:
    I have an old router I use. I dont know the hardware configuration (I checked on 192.168.1.1).Again as I said this router works fine with all my other devices such as another pc and my android phone and ipod touch.No problem watsoever.The problems begin as soon as apple tv is on network.
    I have tried using a new wifi 802.11g router but the above mentioned issues refuse to go away.Please help .
    P.S:Very frustarted with a premium brand like apple not even having a choice of tech support over phone.I have off late drifted more towards non apple products due to it's very stubborn, unflexible ways with respect to service, support and products themselves.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • Problem with wifi and I-phones 4S

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem with my Cisco wifi.
    Here at work i am using 2 Cisco 1100 series Aironet    (811G) (intalled in august 2005)
    Product informations :
    AIR-AP1121G-E-K9
    Top                                       Assembly Serial Number:
    FCZ0921V07A
    System                                       Software Filename:
    c1100-k9w7-tar.123-4.JA
    System                                       Software Version:
    12.3(4)JA
    Bootloader                                       Version:
    12.3(2)JA3
    All I-phones 4S OS6 are kind of loosing connection, if i am using google i will be able to use it once but never twices, the second time google will always time out, but the users are still able to receive and send their emails so the connection is still up.
    On the manager i can see every Iphone, and everything seems to be ok, the "secutrity" is a simple 128bits wep key and i have a macadress filter activated and finally the SSID is not broadcasted.
    The iphones are working smoothly with any modern wifi.
    So my questions are, is it a firmware problem? a configuration problem? or it is time to upgrade the hardware?
    Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Turning off the 2 Aironet and activating the router's wifi, this wifi is not powerfull enough to cover the whole office but for now this is more than enough.

  • Well, it started as a problem with wifi and bluetooth

    Early this morning, both my wifi and bluetooth wouldn't work properly.
    I turned off my ipod touch, and turned it back on.
    Then, both my wifi and bluetooth were "grayed out".
    AND for some reason, my iPod couldn't access any of my music.
    All of my music still took up the hard drive space on the iPod, but it would not show up.
    Now, I put my iPod into recovery mode, and plugged it into my computer.
    I'm trying to restore it and update to the newest software, but after iTunes fully downloads the new OS, I get an error message saying that my connection timed out.
    So now, my iPod is pretty much useless.
    Anything I can do to make sure I'm not losing $300 because of Apple's faulty software?
    It's a 3rd Gen 32GB iPod Touch.

    No.
    The problem started while I still had the old 3.1.2 OS.
    After all the primarily listed problems, I was eventually able to get it restore and update to 4.1.
    It's not the OS.
    I bought my iPod Touch just under a year ago, not too long after New Years.
    I'll check in with Apple about it; You may be right about the faulty wireless hardware.
    Just strange how it happened to mess up now.

  • Problems with WiFi and Safari

    I have am having problems with my Wifi/Safari. I connect to my WiFi, by entering my password, yet the padlock icon remains, is this normal? Then, when I try to get onto any website on Safari, it says 'Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server.'
    I have tried renewing the lease (not that it is a paid connection, this is my own personal Wifi connection), but that doesn't work either.
    Any pointers?
    Thanks.

    Yes the padlock will stay locked and try getting on Youtube and see if that works because this happened to me and Youtube worked then later i found out that the website i had typed in was not a real website i had it typed in wrong so try that and i hope it works.

  • Problems with printer and network connectivity

    So I've been using an HP B110a photosmart wireless e-all-in-one printer that I got with my macbook pro and at the start, everything worked perfectly in terms of wireless printing, ePrint, and AirPrint. But recently, when I try to print wirelessly, it says the printer is not connected and I also can't find it on the list of nearby printers on the 'add printer' window. I also had problems with printing via ePrint but those have cleared up (I don't know what was wrong but it's fine now). Printing with AirPrint on my iPod touch has stopped working as well because the printer doesn't show up when I search for nearby printers.
    Here's what I've checked/tried so far:
    All the wireless services are enabled on my printer and my mac
    I've reset the printing system on my mac, printer settings to factory defaults
    Restarted mac/printer/iPod
    Restarted router
    Reinstalled HP printing software that came with the printer
    All software is up to date
    Wireless printing on another windows computer does work
    Setting up wireless printing using the HP install disc doesn't work
    Trying to add a new printer using the HP software disc that came with the printer is unsuccessful in locating the printer as well.
    Printing over USB is problem-free
    When I tried restarting the printer/router, I could see the printer for just a few minutes in the 'add printer' list but then it would disappear from the list and the printer would be 'not connected' so I can't print wirelessly.
    More info
    MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011)
    Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2)
    HP Photosmart e-All-in-One B110a
    Router is a Huawei HG556a that I got from Vodafone NZ
    Thanks in advance!

  • So clearly there's a problem with WiFi and Leopard.....

    ...that is affecting a subset of us. This problem is driving me nuts, and I've searched this board, as well as many others aggressively for a fix. So far, I've only found a few work-arounds, that don't really work.
    The question is, are we certain that Apple has picked up this issue and is working on it? Any comments?

    I am now having problems with my imac (2.16 core two duo, 20") running 10.5.1. I have been using this imac for nearly a year now with a wireless coneection and have never had a problem. I installed Leopard a month ago and have had no problems.
    Yesterday I noticed my connection drop several times but I could always get it back. I have a good wireless connection on my ibook so I know my router is good. This morning my imac dropped the wireless connection and I cannot get it back. I had to run an ethernet cable to regain my connection.
    It seems from a quick look around the boards that this problem is plaguing imacs only. I have noticed this problem happening with imacs running leopard and tiger. Hope a solution is found soon.
    EDIT: I restarted the imac and my airport connection returned. I hope this doesn't become a regular thing.

  • Problem with wifi and restart

    Hi all
    when im connected to my wifi network, or any other network, my browser is working fine, but applications like Facebook,twitter,Social Scope they all need a phone restart to work.
    when i try to connect they are sayin im not connected do wifi, which is false, im connected and as I said my browser is working just fine. then after a restart, everything is working, all of that apps that i mention.
    its frustrating to restart my phone so often, but only then it works.
    is anyone familiar with this problem?
    tnx

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

  • IOS 8.0.2 update causing problems with wifi connectivity..please help

    latest update having problems ...please help..!!!!!!!!!!

    Just a quick snapshot of my chain of events.  I’m currently on my fourth iPhone 6 Plus 64GB here in London, UK. Every time I have spoken to AppleCare and told them that I have gone through all the Wi-Fi troubleshooting methods possible they have asked me to get a brand new retail replacement as I’m within my 14 day return period.  I’ve been experiencing the following issues:
    Wi-Fi disconnects and switches to 4G (Restart required for temp fix)
    Wi-Fi is still active but there is no traffic or activity– often when in sleep mode for long periods of time.  (Toggle Wi-Fi on/off for temp fix)
    Wi-Fi disconnects and cannot find any networks (restart required for temp fix)
    This has been occurring on both iOS 8 and 8.0.2
    The issues are the same on both my 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks
    This is affecting my ip6+ and 5s (5s used to work perfect on ios7 on same networks) – My MBP-R and all other devices run perfectly on my network.
    I spoke to AppleCare again yesterday and asked for their advice as its now my fourth iPhone in just under a month. This time they said that apple were fully aware of the Wi-Fi problem and that new repair tickets were not being raised for their engineers as they are already working hard to get this resolved. They also said they could see all the issues raised on the apple discussions boards which they usually don’t admit too! I asked what to do next and the advisor apologised and said this is clearly a software glitch and will be resolved in the next update. I asked for a timescale but unfortunately none was given.
    As stated above I have tried all the troubleshooting methods discussed on forums and on tech websites but the only thing that gives me a stable connection without any disconnects (especially on my 6 plus) is turning cellular/mobile data off when I know I’m going to be on Wi-Fi for a sustained period of time (e.g. at home or work). I appreciate this is annoying but it’s the best temp fix until an update comes out.
    Hope it helps everyone who is having issues with their devices that have cellular functionality.
    Any comments welcome
