Speed variations and needing to reset Home Hub

Hi everyone.  Just a quick post to say i have had infinity for almost 12 months and apart from the odd hiccup now and then i have been extremely pleased with the speeds and service
I recently upgraded to Infinity 2 just like many others and am now seeing the same problem that a few others have posted about....i.e. at seemingly random times my speed is dropping from approx 60 Mb/sec to more like 3 Mb/s.  If i reboot the home hub then the speeds immediately return to normal!! 
Just wondering if anyone has any further info as to why this seems to be happening to myself and a few others.....( only happened since the upgrade )
Not a big deal really and i am still more than happy to be lucky enough to be able to get Infinity in the first place

Hey, a lot of posts on here have been about this very issue.
I still have to be 100% convinced it's a hub fault though, but getting a replacement can't hurt. Why am I not totally convinced?
Well, I can go weeks without any issues at all - no real heavy downloads, no p2p, no TV stuff, no films - my speeds hold up as expected given the IP profile - then suddenly, bang, down from 55Megs to 0.5 megs. My HH3 did it a few times before my upgrade to 80/20, but I have found that a simple internet disconnect and connect via the hub manager fixes it. You do notneed to touch the modem or power cycle the hub, just go in via 192.168.1.254 using your browser, find the right section and do as above.
We should not need to be doing this and I wonder how many HH3 returns are simply being recycled back out again? Otherwise I can see there being an HH3 mountain, much like the old butter mountains of latter days!
Keep us informed as to how you go on ... if it continues, how often does it drop speed etc. It all helps us build up a picture of what might be going on. Nothing sinister one hopes ;-)
Cheers,
Rob (and have been stable for a couple of weeks now, no reconnects needed! And no HH3 change either)

  • Hi there, I'm Medel and I'm currently on Saudi Arabia. I forgot my security questions' answers and need to reset it but I just added an alternate email a while ago. Can anyone help me how to reset it even if I don't have a recovery email registered?

    Can anyone help me how to reset my security questions on my apple account? I forgot the answers and need to reset it. Please Help...

    An alternate email is not used for resetting security questions, do you know if you have a rescue email address on your account ? If you do then follow steps 1 to 5 half-way down this page and you should get a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in Saudi Arabia to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699#S
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Can't connect up iPhone and Touch to BT Home hub

    Boyfriend got new BT home hub - never had any probs with netgear router - all worked fine. Am I missing something - have been all over the web and tried all workarounds. I am naively putting in his log in details on the phone/touch, but should I be putting in the key from the back of the hub or summat. Many thanks in advance. Would be so much easier if he was on Macs at his, and I have no patience for PCs so have had no luck changing settings on his PC/hub - not helped by the new virus he now has. !

    Kent-
    I suggest you unplug your WiFi router for a few seconds.  Then reset the iPad and iPhone's network.  For the iPad, go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  The iPhone may use the same procedure.  You will need to reconnect each to WiFi.

  • Crackling and Burning Smell from Home Hub 5

    I have had a crackling noise and burning smell come from my Home Hub 5, as a pre-caution I've turned it off.  But depsite repeated attempts to get a replacement from BT no-one on the phone or via the live chat system seems to understand!
    Any chance on getting help to get a replacement please?

    You will need to phone them back and tell them what the problem is. This time tell them that flames have come out of it.
    Obviously do not plug it back in.

  • Hi i have just bought a used ibook from goodwill and need to reset the id and password.is there anyway to do this? i called tech support and they said to try here because our ibook is considered opsolete and they can't help me. thanks

    hi before i start i did not steal it, i bought a used ibook and need to know if there is a way to reset or get past the old user id and pass word. we bought it from goodwil so no way to ask old owner and i called tech support and it is conciderd opsolete so no help from them and know one in this area works on mac. so what can i do?  this is for my daughter and we are not rich thats why we bought used. thanks for any help.

    Here are the instructions, as I have them:
    Press the Command + s key during startup. This takes you to Single User Mode, where you will see a command line.
    Type this when the command-line prompt (>) appears:
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    When the iBook restarts, you will see the setup screen. This allows you to create a new account. BE SURE to give yourself administrative privileges. You can now use this new account and set it to log in automatically with this new account if you don't want to be bothered with the login screen every time you start up.
    You can also delete the old account if you want to free up some hard drive space.
    Good luck!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    However, it is desirable to do it with the disc, if it is available, which is why I waited to see if the user has the disc before supplying the instructions for doing it via Single User Mode.

  • I have an old email and need to reset my password. Where can I have change an old email?

    Hello, I have a very old username, an old e-mail, that I don't ahve anymore. When I tried to reset it it also did not take my birthday to verify the old account. I am not sure why. But I need to reset this old username and get a new password. Any ideas how to do that, since I can't find an option to have the new password creation link sent to a current email or a new email.

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Need the new tab icon and need to move home page icon

    Need what I had on previous versions of Firefox. Need new tab icon next to address bar, it is not under customize. Need to move home page icon to the same place. It is very annoying to have it on the right side the of web page, need to have it on the left side.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

  • ADSL Filter Needed with BTInfinity Home Hub 4

    Hi
    Had BT Infinity Home Hub 4 installed 2 months ago. Recently we had a problem with our phone -no ring and no dial tone. My wife contacted BT about this and was advised to remove the filter and plug the phone into that socket. She did this and the phone and internet are working fine.
    The filter that my wife removed appears to be a remnant from our previous non infinity broadband as it is connected to a wire leadin to the ceiling. BT said they would send us a new filter which we have received.
    My question is- can we just leave the phone plugged in without using the filter as i am given to understand that filters are not required for the current version of infinity.
    Thanks

    Hi and welcome to the forum.
    You are correct filters are not required, the engineer should have fitted a new front plate on your main socket like this.

  • Yosemite keeps hanging and needs hard reset every night

    Problem description:
    System keeps locking up from sleep. At least daily system grinds to a halt and does not respond (other than mouse) and I have to do a hard reset (power recycle) to get it back up and running. I have done a clean install of Mac OS and have had this problem regardless of what else has been installed. Tried both a firmware and SMC/PRAM reset, and still no change. Getting really tired of this!!!!

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    If you forgot your pass ode and cannot access your iPad instead of restoring it to the factory settings you can plug it into your iTunes and reset your pass code (just make sure you know your Apple ID) or if you want to reset your entire device make sure you back it up to your computer first.
