Hi,
I have a wifi connection problem with my blackberry 8900 (SW 5.0.0.348), i have a latest firmware on my wrt160nl router ( 1.00.01 B17 replace_date("May. 12, 2009");May 12, 2009). After successful conect, connection was dropped after every 60 seconds,
My wifi config:
Beacon Interval: 75
DTIM Interval: 1

Any idea plz ???

Hi,
I have another wifi device (thinkpad T61 and iPhone), this device works fine, but i have 2 stocks of Blackberry 8900 @home and both of this blackberry have same problem.
I set Beacon interval to 50 but prblem not solved ...
I need a new firmware fo this router urgently newer than 1.0.1.17

Wireless Sync keeps being disabled when connecting Blackberry 8900 to DM 6.0.1

Our MD has a Blackberry 8900 on Vodafone (UK), which is exhibiting very odd behaviour when he connects it via USB to Desktop Manager 6.0.1 on Windows 7 64-bit.
Despite enabling Wireless Calendar Sync on the device (and indeed it working), the moment it is connected to DM it shows as disabled and when disconnecting the device it is now disabled on the debice too. In additoin, he then can't accept meeting requests on the BB until a hard (battery removed) reboot.
I've already tried the following:
- wiping the handheld and re-running Enterprise Activiation.
- complete uninstall of the desktop software and associated registry entries and files (as per RIM KB)
It also worth nothing that we use a Hosted Exchange / BES proivder (Cobweb), but they say they have not experienced this issue before and that we are trying to sync against an Exchange 2007 mailbox calendar accessed via Outlook 2003.
Any ideas or thoughts most welcome as I've hit the proverbial brick wall. Thanks,
-David

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
We have received word that if you are
experiencing this issue that you need to contact your carrier for formal
support and escalation to RIM. I suggest you be gentle yet firm with
them...sometimes, the front line support at carriers doesn't always
understand how the process works. If they tell you that you need to
contact RIM, tell them that's exactly what you are doing...and it is
their (your carrier) responsibility to escalate your case into RIM.
Good luck!

Problem opening email attachment Blackberry 8900

Hi I am a recent user of Blackberry 8900 on Airtel in India, I have 2 email accounts Gmail and another work account on Rediffmailpro with pop3 access, I can open word, xls & pdf attachments in Gmail but not on my Rediffmail Pro account.
I was earlier using Blackberry connect on Nokia E61 and everything worked fine.
Also when I open Blackberry Maps the screen just becomes blank, I can use Google maps. Does the Blackberry maps require a separate service from my Cellphone provider. I already have GPRS active on my phone
Can some one help

Hi please help me for my blackberry 8900

hi please help me for my blackberry 8900 reload software. i make a password but stil not working now the screen is all white and the writen only is reload software 513....please help me

Hi bheth_16,
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Try backing up your device via the BlackBerry Desktop Software and performing a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
If the Desktop Software is unable to connect to your BlackBerry, try the following:
1. Verify that the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and BlackBerry Device Software are installed on the computer.
2. Remove the battery from the BlackBerry. Do not re-insert.
3. Connect the BlackBerry to the computer.
4. On the BlackBerry Desktop Manager main screen, click Application Loader.
5. Click Start.
6. Click Options to add or remove applications.
7. Click Next.
8. Click Next.
9. Click Finish.
10. When the application load starts, insert the battery into the BlackBerry smartphone.
This will remove all personal data from your BlackBerry. To restore your data you will need a previously taken backup file.

Transfer contact between blackberry 8900 and visor mount speakerphone vm-605

I am using visor mount paired with my curve 8900 and it is working well
the only thing I am not able to get, is to transfer contact from my smartphone to the visor mount, so when I get a phone cal it is never recognized, and the voice tells me only the phone number
blackberry 8900 v4.6.1.250 (platform 4.2.0.113)
any suggestions?

you need OS 5 on your phone for that feature to work.
Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
2. Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
3. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
5. This step is not needed unless there is an issue on next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
8. if you did Step 5, restore from back up. Follow this KB if needed http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
Enjoy the new OS.

Problems with AOL IMAP server connection on my BlackBerry Z10 STL100-3, and BB PlayBook 64GB WiFi

Problems with AOL IMAP server connection on my BlackBerry Z10 STL100-3, and BB PlayBook 64GB WiFi
Thursday 4:20am EST, 02-19-2015
Hi, My connection to the AOL IMAP server has suddenly failed - Says "Not Connected" on Accounts page
I haven't changed anything and this just started failing this morning.
I've saw same issue on my Blackberry PlayBook 64GB.
Is anyone else recently experiencing AOL IMAP Errors?

Yes! Same thing happened suddenly to my Z10 this morning. No AOL.

New time capsule+new airport express=daily dropped connections

I have a new 2 TB Time Capsule and a new Airport Express that I puchased to update my old set-up of an Airport Express and Airport Extreme.
I have the TC set-up as the primary base station in the back of the house and the airport express set-up to extend the network in the front of the house. I was getting constant disconnects up front for the first several days so I finally exchanged the new AX for another one thinking maybe the first one was faulty. I reset the TC back to factory defaults for good measure and re-set up my network the same way with the new AX.
Two days with no disconnects, thought it was fixed, and then it started again...no joy. Not as often as with the first AX, but still it happens 2-3 times a day and always up in the front of the house while we're on our MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. When this happens both the AX and the TC have green lights and full bars of connectivity show in the menu bar, but yet no internet access. The only way to reconnect is to restart the AX. I have noticed too, that when this happens, the Airport Utility does not show the TC at all...even though it's light is fully green and it should be there, it just shows the AX until I restart and then both show up again.
I've tried changing the channel from automatic to a specific channel but this really doesn't change things much. Now I'm starting to wonder if something is awry with the TC. I've also noticed that it sometimes fails to back up because it can't find a connection to my iMac which is right next to it in the back of the house.
So far this upgrade has been more of a downgrade. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just an update and still seeking some advice for this situation...anybody?
I tried re-setting both TC and AX to factory settings and re-configuring. Still get at least 3-4 dropped connections up front on a daily basis; however, TC has been connecting successfully and backing up my iMac, so at least that seems to be ok.
Still the same situation with the TC not showing up in Airport Utility every time the network connection drops happen...just the AX is seen until I finally have to restart the AX and then both can be viewed in Airport Utility and the internet connection is restored. Sometimes I can restore connection by simply toggling my airport access on and off in the menu bar of my MacBook Pro, but more often then not, I have to restart the AX itself to get back online.
Is it possible that this could be an issue with the TC? Somehow it might be dropping the connection to the AX? I can still exchange it for another if this may be the case. I'm already on my second AX thinking that the Express was the problem initially.
So far, nothing seems to help the situation. About the only thing that I haven't done is configure the AX to just join the network rather than extend it...but that would be defeating the purpose of why I bought it in the first place (to stream iTunes and extend network).
I never had issues with my old set-up, but then I had it configured as a WDS because I didn't have the option to "extend" the network as it was an older AX and Airport Express.

10.7.3 MBP Wifi Problem - Endless Timeouts & Dropped connections

I've been reading around here a bit already and so I know many other people are having Wifi issues with Lion, but given that there are so many discussions and so many pages of talk, it's hard to go through it all, and using the search I haven't found anything that's quite similar to what I'm experiencing, so I'm starting a new topic...
Basically, I've got a late 2006 MacBook Pro, installed 10.7.1 (form 10.6.8) on in back in Aug 2011 and everything seemed to be fine. I updated to 10.7.2 sometime in Jan and still didn't notice any issues, but wasn't using Wifi at all at the time.
Then in Feb I moved and started using wifi (with a Cisco N router), and noticed that often, the system would not automatically reconnect to the network after waking up from sleep. Just selecting the network manually worked on the first try every time though, so it wasn't so bad.
At the end of April, I finally got around to installing the 10.7.3 update. I read it was supposed to fix wifi issues and so was looking forward to it. It installed fine and didn't seem to cause any problems...
2 days later I moved again (to India), and all **** broke loose... Now, I can rarely connect to wifi (a Beetel G router, configed with WPA). Around 25% of the time, the network won't show up in the list (despite being a clear 5ft from the base station), and when it does show up, 95% of the time I get a "connection timeout" error - often immeadiately, but sometimes it takes about 10sec to respond. On the same network, 2 Win 7 Dells and an iPad 1 all work flawlessly - it's not the router...
One the occasions that I am able to connect, it usually works fine, but if I put the computer to sleep and wake up again, there's no guarentee that the connection will work again - it's back to the lottery. And sometimes even when it's connected, the wifi stays (according to the menu indicator) but the internet connection disappears (to the point I can't even ping the router - 100% packet loss, let alone any internet server)
I've tried zapping everything I can think of (PRAM, SMC), repairing permissions, clearing the remembered networks from the System Prefs, deleting old Locations and creating new ones etc. I have a clean install of 10.7.1 that I booted off of, but it still had the same issues!

I'm pretty savy with computers and have dealt with all kinds of stuff before, but this one is beyond me, and is really annoying! I konw my machine is old, but it was totally useable up until these Wifi issues, and now wifi is basically useless.
From what I've read, it seems like its a driver issue with the Atheros card in my machine, but most people seem to be complaining about dropped connections (mine rarely drops) rather than timeout connection issues. I've also never had the "hardware not found" issue that many people have, so I think this is something different.
Anyone out there have any advice? I'm getting close to losing it with wifi since the update!

Sorry - to add:
I don't think it's a question of WPA vs. WPA2, or even channel number - I have 2 identical routers here and neither work (both default to WPA Ch 11) but I changed one to WPA2, new SSID, various channels and still had the same problems.
Another thing to note that should be irrelevant, but who knows: the Firewire controller on my machine died back in Fall 2010 - to the point where the system won't start-up unless I remove the IOFirewire***.kext from /System/Library/Extensions , and as soon as I do that, it works flawlessly (minus Firewire). It meant I had a **** of a time installing Lion becuase I can't boot off the Recovery Partition (which has the drivers baked into it), but by cloneing my HD, installing Lion onto the clone via a borrowed machine, removing the .kext's and cloning back, I got it on and everything seems to be fine otherwise... I posted about that problem before, but never got any answers. And it wasn't just me, my father has a late 2007 MBP and the same firewire issue happened to his within 5 days of mine (not a power spike - I think it was shortly after some system update if I remember correctly).

Poor performance and now dropping connection

I am very underwhelmed by performance since switching to infinity FTTC last year. Download speed is very variable and I just cannot get an upload speed much better than 1.1 Mb/s.
Now we have a regularly dropping connection. Last Saturday morning we had a thunderstorn with heavy downpour and phone line dropped completely - no dialtone and unsurprisingly no broadband. Did a line check from my mobile - all fine and no reported problems in the area. I phoned BT and got an Indian who just repeated what the website told me and said couldn't get an engineer for 4 days! Phone came back late the same afternoon and a little while later broadband came up but connection was up and down like a yo-yo. After 4 days of sunshine when the engineer turned up broadband had been up solid from 3 am and phone was fine. Engineer did more detailed tests which showed no problem and reckoned our problem must have been fixed, and that reason broadband had been dropping was because of computerised checks due to reported fault which would cause line to drop.
For a few days all was fine, although performance still underwheliming, until we had another downpour yesterday morning. Phone line stayed up, although a little crackly, but once again broadband started dropping regularly. Since then it has gradually improved (no more rain).
My suspicion is (and always has been) that with the heavy rain water is getting into a connection somewhere. How do I go about communicating it to BT support (I can't even find a web page or number for reporting broadband problems) this fact and actually getting someone to look into it properly? I rejected the "fault reported fixed" on the tracking your fault web page but so far nothing.
I am distinctly unimpressed with BT support and unless this gets fixed soon I am seriously thinking of switching to fibre to the home with Virgin (despite hating Branson) especially as the move from Yahoo mail to BT mail has not been smooth and the BT webmail is full of bugs (which again I cannot find any way of reporting).

Thanks. I tried that. Broadband up and down regularly until the day the engineer came. Day before had intermittent heavy crackling on the line and calls dropping. Day he came all is fine and of course his diagnostics checks come back all clear. Apparently, or so he told me, they are not allowed to work on our line unless the checks show a fault...which they didn't.
I've just had 24 hours of our broadband working but just now it's started dropping regularly again.
I am getting very frustrated/annoyed. What do I do now? How do they expect to solve the problem if it isn't constant and they can't get an engineer to look at it within 3 or 4 days? Do I just keep on calling our an engineer until by chance it happens to hit a problem while they're on site? Not good for customer satisfaction and surely it must cost them to keep sending out an engineer!

AT&T U-verse dropping connections suddenly

Hi all.
Since upgrading to Yosemite, there has been a degrading of my internet reliability with AT&T U-verse, and its been getting worse and worse. I now drop connections every HOUR. Speed and WiFi strength are great when its working, but it will spontaneously stop working, and if i do a series of diagnostics, quitting safari, turning wifi off and on, etc., I can get back online after a few minutes. BUT WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING? At this point I've mucked around with just about every network setting so I no longer even know what they should be. AT&T is fairly useless regarding tech support for Macs, so hopefully someone here knows the current UVerse setup and can give me some advice. Here's where I stand:
- I have a 2009 Mac Pro, running latest Yosemite.
- Router is AT&T Motorola NVG589, connecting to U-verse service (not gigabit, just regular)
- When internet service drops, it appears that the WiFi continues to be connected well, at least for a while. The NVG589 status page still shows my machine connected, and the WiFi signal strength in the menu bar remains full strength, but Diagnostics show failure to connect to ISP and internet. Other Devices, like my phone or other laptops, continue to connect fine, so the broadband is fine, so maybe the WiFi is only appearing to work or something else is going on. At some point, the WiFi also stops responding until I do a bunch of restarting stuff.
- I have already trashed the various preference files and created fresh new locations, but to no avail. It all works fine for a while then goes spotty again.
- I have my network prefs set to "Link-local only" which had worked fine before.
- I set the DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
I don't really know much about the various pros and cons of different settings, but apparently you can get the NVG589 to assign a static IP address (or semi-static or something like that) but is that BETTER? would that end the dropouts?
Any other ideas?

Hello Javier Bonafont,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be very frustrating when you are having multiple Wi-Fi drops in signal at home. There are a couple of different troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please refer to the attached article for information and steps to help you troubleshoot this situation.
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
Best regards,
Joe

New Airport Extreme (6th Gen) Dropping Connection from Time to Time.

Problem:
6th Generation Airport Extreme drops connection intermittently at random times.
Set Up:
6th Generation Airport Extreme (main router - no hard drive/not a time capsule) located center of house on the main floor. 2 Range extenders each approximately 30+ feet away from main router. First range extender (Airport Express - newest generation) located on the third floor parallel to main. Second range extender (Airport Express - new generation) is located at the end of the kitchen (main floor).
Main Router is connected straight from a Motorolla Surfboard modem on a foyer table at the center of the house.
Range extenders connected to Main Router wirelessly and at wall outlett height.
Previous Setup:
Same setup as above but, with the 5th Generation Airport Extreme instead of the 6th Generation.
Firmware:
All current versions.
Devices:
1 SONY VAIO VGN-FW490J
HP Notebook G60
Several WEMO outlets
1 iPad Mini
1 iPad 2
1 iPhone 5
1 Motorolla RAZR MAXX
Macbook Pro
iMac (wired from main router on foyer table)
Note: All of these routers/range extenders/modem/computers are plugged into surge protected outlets.
Notes:
With the new Airport Extreme my family and I have been experiencing intermettent connection drops. The amber light on the main router turns on and within a few minutes turns green and connection resumes again. This has been happening for a few days now ever since I purchased the new router. This has not happened before with the 5th generation router, which I donated to our church.
I have not exchanged the product yet. I will be initiating a Complete Power Recycle after some suggested solutions in a bit. I have contacted my Internet Service Provider (Comcast) for a line check and found no problems.
Has anyone found any solutions to resolve the intermittent connection drops? Is reverting to the previous firmware going to solve this?
I would like some insights before trying to do all this. Thank you all for your time.
P.s.
I've done a detailed post since posts like these is frequently asked questions on set-up, devices, connections, etc:

Update:
Before I went to exchange my 6th Gen Extreme, I ran through all possible solutions from complete power recycle to no devices connected. I even went out of my way to my cousin's house to test it out. The same problem still kept coming.
I was able to exchange my 6th Gen Airprt Extreme with another 6th Gen Extreme the other day. I set it up how the instructions told me and within an hour it did the exact same problem as the previous 6th Gen Extreme. I gave up and decided to get the ASUS RT-AC66R (ASUS RT-AC66U is the same, just the 'R' is Best Buy's model.)
The ASUS router is just as great as the 6th Gen Router. You can actually get it down to $180 by price matching to Amazon. The ASUS router has 3 antennas that you can adjust according to where the signal is used more. I pointed them more towards the backyard, upstairs, and the living room. The range is by far better than the Extreme because of this. I was able to drive down a good block (3-4 houses down) and still connected to my router. Also it has 2 USB ports which was fantastic for me so I can plug in my external hard drive and a non-wireless printer. It has many more features that I really liked that I didn't even know was possible. The router utility interface is a bit confusing at first but, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
Some features that I liked with the ASUS was the ability to have multiple guest network with time limits. 3 for 2.4gHz and 3 for 5gHz. I think that Airport guest accounts are only allowed 2.4gHz but not a 5gHz. Though I only needed 1 for each but, I can see this working well for businesses.
Another feature is traffic manager. I am able to set specific bandwith for different types of use such as, high priority 80%-100% bandwith for gaming, medium priority badwith 70%-90% for HD media streaming/data transfer, and 50%-80% low bandwith for casual web surfing. It also has it's own "beamforming" so that data isn't free roamed.
Lastly it has AiCloud sync which is basically like having a hard drive into your router but, much like having a Dropbox at the same time.
More or less I think I'll stick with the ASUS router rather than going with the new Airport Extreme. I think that it's more on firmware issue than it is hardware. If you are not willing to switch to another brand and want to keep staying with Apple, I recommend going back to the 5th generation until a new firmware or rebuilt 6th gen extreme is out.
I have not found any problem with the ASUS router and no intermittent connectivity issues.
Now I am not trying to make you buy the ASUS router. I'm merely expressing how great the product is.
I do have 60 days from Best Buy return policy to try out the ASUS (and report of any malfuntions) and if within that time a new firmware is out for the Extreme. I highly doubt I'll go back to the extreme though.
Hope this helped!!

LaserJet Pro P1102w dropping connection

I hope someone can help. We have been having a long term issue with our HP LaserJet Pro P1102w wifi printer keeping a stable connection to our network. It connects to our network via wifi. It is in a high signal wifi area of the office.
In the printer network settings I have tried setting the printers IP as static and also tried it as dynamic being assigned by our DHCP server.
The problem is the printer keeps randomly dropping connection in that we can no longer print to the printer / access the printers webpage or ping the printer. The problems is fixed by either powering down and restarting the printer or if you leave the printer after a period of time the printer will once again be contactable (by doing nothing).
I have updated the printers firmware, computers printer drivers. Checked network settings but just cannot resolve the issue.
It's driving me crazy!

Thanks for the clarification Angus,
Try disabling the Auto Off feature, this current configuration actually turns the printer Off after 5 minutes idle (Any key pressing will turn the printer On, but any remote command as printing or accessing the printer page will fail..
You may enter the EWS by entering the printer IP through Safari.
Enter the Settings tab.
Select Print Settings and turn the Auto Off after as Never.
Click Apply and reboot the device, then check for any change.
Now reboot the device and check for any chnage,

Apple TV3 dropping connection from iTunes...

Hi there,
I've read a lot of issues on the same thing but I wonder if anyone is having the same issue as me.
Thinking it was a hardware problem I secured a replacement from the store but I'm having the same issue.
I have a PC, Windows 8
BT Infinity (with their home hub, I'm UK based)
My Apple TV is wired directly to the hub (I have also adjusted the settings to give the Apple static IP addresses, I've also tried it with automatic IP)
If I boot everything up from scratch the Apple TV will play both music and my movies (both my DVD rips and those purchased from iTunes store and downloaded to the PC).
However, let's say when I've done the above I decide to watch a movie that is on the PC, it works and I can watch the full film or even a TV program. Then I decide I want to watch another film after viewing that one, that's when I get the spinning wheel. The Apple TV will recognise my iTunes library and display the movies but unless I watch something on the cloud I cannot view what's on my PC hard drive. Then after a bit the Apple is telling me to turn on home sharing. It already is on and my PC has no sleep settings activated, I turned them all off so unless I power down nothing will enter sleep mode or even powersave.
I then have to reboot the PC and open iTunes again.
Like I mentioned I've taken the first one back for an exchange, the same problem persists. I've also been on the phone to Apple who advised to power everything down for 5 minutes then turn the router back on followed by the Apple then the PC. That worked, so I then left it for 5 minutes and then the problem happened again when I decided to watch a film that I put on my PC hard drive. It seems that I have to choose what I want to do quickly but it wont work with further requests after something is played.
I am using the inbuilt virus checker that comes with Win 8 (Elements I think it's called) and I use Windows Firewall. I have tried creating a rule to allow iTunes to connect out on the firewall settings but this did nothing. I've tired automatic IP addresses and now trying static ones but again, no joy. Bonjour has been uninstalled, reinstalled, opened up connections in the firewall, basically everything I've read on this issue I've done.
I read somewhere about turning off the Dolby Stereo, and yes, you guessed it, nothing corrected it.
Has anyone had this problem exactly and any idea how to overcome it. Apple have suggested a clean reinstall of my PC, so I tried it, wiped everything and started again. Nothing, so I tried it on my laptop which has Windows 7 and it seems it's not localised to just one specific version of Windows.
Getting a bit fed up now!
As a last ditch attempt I also checked the serial number to see if it was an old unit that needed to be replaced but it's not. Oh, and I have also tried wireless and wired. That didn't change anything.
One interesting thing though, when looking at the settings for the BT Home Hub and looking at devices, when I know the Apple TV is connected it's showing as not connected. It appears as though it is dropping connection after it has perhaps synced the whole film from the PC. I can't think of a way to force it to stay connected.
Any suggestions?

UPDATE
This is now resolved, not with the use of the Homehub though.
After another conversation with Apple they asked me if the Youtube app on the TV works, which it does then there's a problem elsewhere! Therefore Apple think there's an issue with the hub or the home network. They also asked me to try something on the hub called Port Forwarding. However, because that the hub isn't an Apple product they are not allowed to advise me on tinkering with the settings. But did suggest to Google a website called port forwarding.
Having a look at that I tried what it suggested by connecting to the BT Homehub, you guessed it, that didn't work either. I called BT who advised that their technical help team that would deal with this has been disbanded and the person I spoke to gave me the port forwarding suggestion on Google.
At this stage I had had enough and after reading a few more bits of feedback I then looked at replacing the hub with something I could buy myself. This led me to Amazon where I purchased the ASUS RT-N56U and a modem to go with it. I ripped out the hub and linked the modem to the line in the wall and the router to the modem, I had to bridge the router to the modem and after that was done I set up the wireless.
I'm now very pleased to say that it works, everything is syncing as it should do and the speeds of my downloads have also increased. So far no issues at all. I also have a constant connection to the PC and can view as many films as I want that are downloaded to the PC. No lagging, no problems at all.
Bit of an expensive solution but the modem and router I bought can also replace a Virgin one should I change suppliers in the future.
If you follow this solution and are doing it the same with BT just Google the username for the hubs as it's the same for everyone, you can get that username from the hub if you connect to it but if you're like me and didn't think of that all the solutions you can google. I used the CD's that came with the items and I had it all set up and running in 5 minutes. If you do purchase the RT-N56U don't forget you need a modem, as that bit I forgot about and then had to order that via Amazon as well.
That's really all you need!
