Intermittent broadband speed new router not solved problem

Message 209 of 209

Approximately 2-3 months ago I started getting slow internet and sometimes it stopped. After  a short time it went back to normal again. I went through the system and in the end it was diagnosed as a router problem so you replaced the router, but it is still happening. It may not happen for a few hours but then it starts again. I have gone through all the checks, disconnecting any other devices, restarting router etc but it does not stop the problem. A friend who is experienced with comms explained that I should look at the router logs but it seems that at my end I cannot look at the logs, it must be restricted to Talk Talk. He is also said there was some noise on the line, not something that I had noticed. When working correctly the speed test comes in at between 12 & 14, sometimes (like this morning) it dropped to 7 and can go down to between 1 & 2. When it stops completely the speed check service cannot connect to the server. As I said this is an intermittent problem, Can you advise what I should do next to resolve the issue?

You can do whatever test you want it will not affect anybody in the house. I will be leaving the house at 11am so will not be able to assist after that.

 

If you do not identify the problem by then I would suggest you raise it to the next level of technical support, I am not putting up with this problem anymore!!!

Please do. Can you check your TalkTalk Internet access for me now and let me know if it works? You can do this by trying to reload the site or application or trying to search for something on the Internet.

The router has been factory reset successfully. We've completed some checks on your router ensuring it's fully up-to-date and connected correctly. Best recommendation is to monitor your connection to see if the issues are resolved.

All back up and running again

Okay, so now we will need to complete a factory reset on your router. which will restore the router to it's original settings, including the Wi-Fi Network name (SSID) and password.

If the password has been changed, please refer to the one on the stickers attached to your router to find the original password.

The desktop PC is definitely affected and the IPAD was affected when I had the chance to check if I could browse on it when I noticed the problem with the desktop PC. 

 

I would not know if the Samsung smart phone or Auto Cadlite were affected as these are very rarely used. I assume they too must have been affected.

I understand, thank you. You have mentioned that with the connectivity issue, all your devices are affected, as much as only one is mostly in use is that correct?

I cannot say I have heard the noise but it is not something I have listened out for, especially as we do not use the landline that often, it is the person on the other end of the phone who has mentioned it.

Have you had a problem with this noise when you made or received a call? or it is always other people who can hear it?

It has happened a couple of times and if I remember correctly it was when I had phoned somebody up and they commented that the line was noisy. As it did not happen all the time I just put it down to a bad connection.
