For queries about your TalkTalk broadband service.

Good morning.
Our fibre broadband keeps dropping out and saying 'no internet' even if we are connected to the WiFi. The light on the router is white static. My phone and TV are the only devices in the house that can connect, but even then it's slow. This is happening everyday now since last weds which is a massive problem as we work from home and need to connect to VPN.
Would really appreciate any help.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Karolyn

Morning,
I've re-checked the connection stats now and I can still see some re-connections on the line. If the connection is also dropping when connected wired then the next step will be to arrange an engineer visit to the property. Would you like to go ahead with this and we can confirm some details with you?
Thanks

Hi Chris,
Just to let you know the internet has been dropping out again, but still a white static light on the router.
Many thanks.

OK thanks Karolyn. Could you leave the router connected to the test socket over night and I'll pick this up again in the morning and check the connection stats/line history

Yes that does seem to be the case. The ones the disconnect do so at the same time.

Do you seem to lose connection on all devices at the same time?

Hi Chris,
Yes, this is the new router we received before Christmas. I haven't tested with the old router since before Christmas.
Many thanks.

Should I leave the router connected to the test socket?
Nothing connects at the moment with the router in the test socket but I will switch off and leave for 30 mins and switch back on.
Thanks Chris.

Thanks Karolyn, Could you switch the router off and leave it off for 30 minutes then switch back on and check to see if all devices will connect

Thanks Chris.
