Internet dropouts

fr8ys — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 18:47:15 GMT

Since having fibre 150 we have suffered from the occasional dropouts.

This last weekend we have noticed more and more with the message no internet connection whilst surfing.

These don't last very long but are annoying when they occur.

All devices are connected to the Eero by WiFi.

Is it possible to check my line for errors please?

Thank you 🙂 I've run a test on the line now which is clear and I also can't see any re-connections on the line. Does it seem to happen to certain devices only (devices further away from the eero) How many eeros do you currently have?

It's on various devices and the PC is in the same room.

We have a bungalow so coverage is good and normally a full signal to all rooms.

Just the one Eero.

Thanks for confirming. Have you noticed if any of the lights change on the ONT when this happens?

Does it re-connect on its own or do you have to reboot the eero?

Not noticed the lights and it re-connects pretty quickly every time, certainly less than a minute.

@Anonymous it went again at 11:01. I checked the ONT box and all lights were on.

One thing I did notice was the wifi on the affected devices (it didn't happen to all) the signal went from the usual 4 bars to 2, but still showing a signal and no ! next to it to signify there was no internet. The browsers just had trouble connecting and then the message no internet check your settings appears.

Sorry for the delay. Does the eero have the latest version of firmware in the eero settings? If not then I think it would be worth updating this just to see how the connection compares? If it does have the latest version then I think we should replace the eero, would this be ok?

Just checked and an update was pending so I've initiated it now.

Will monitor and let you know.

Great thank you. If there is no change then I think we should replace the eero.

One drop out to my tablet noticed and again no ! next to the icon.

I'll continue to monitor in case that was an issue with the TalkTalk forum website just being slow to respond as that was the message this time not no Internet.
