Consistent Packet Loss

Frederick6 — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:40:52 GMT

This has been an off and on longstanding issue, and especially persistent recently. We had a complete outage this afternoon after experiencing unreliable internet throughout the day. I opened a case, but the test found that it's an issue with my router. I followed the steps and unplugged everything for over 20 minutes. Now I have internet, but over 10% packet loss. I've updated the router software, rebooted, etc. I think I just need a new router. It's an eero Pro 6 running v7.72-400. I have these issues over wifi and over ethernet.

Hi,

Thank you. I've run a test on the line which is clear. What lights are currently on the ONT and the eero please? Are all the cables connected securely?

The ONT is all solid green lights. The router went full solid red (did this yesterday too), then I rebooted it, went blinking white, now back to solid red. I completely disconnected everything yesterday for over 20 minutes. All the cables are secure. The router software is up to date. We need a new router immediately as we work from home.

Hi @Frederick6

I've ordered you a replacement router, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

Please let us know how you get on.

Thanks

Is there any way for me to pick up the router today? And is there any chance we can get a non-Amazon brand?

Also, my email says I have a one off charge of £129 for the replacement. Is this a mistake?

Hi @Frederick6

Apologies this can only be delivered to your home, not for collection.

There will be no charge for the router ordered, please ignore the email you have received.
