Internet Connections keep dropping (White light remains on)

[rachbt]

I have had a problem with internet connection dropping since about Monday (9th December), even though at all times the router light remains white as if connected with service. This is for ALL wired and wireless connected devices. If I restart the router (the TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub, leaving it for at least 20 minutes), the connection comes back, but it fully drops again anywhere between the following day or only after a few hours. We haven't changed anything about our setup. I last had to reboot the router at 7.30pm today.

I really need to get this resolved as my family work from home - I have already been through two live chats where they suggested a factory reset button on the back of the route. It lasted about an hour before the same issue returned.

I suspect an issue with the router is the problem, but resetting the router only helps for a short period. Are you able to help to get this fixed?

"Exactly the same issue" means you will need to start your own thread, @curls.

Staff only respond to the original poster to avoid confusion in the thread, and so you need to return to the message board and click on start a topic to begin your own.

Forum staff will respond to that after the weekend. They are on here during the day, Monday to Friday.

Exactly the same issue here, my friend.

Reset/restart fixes it for a very small period of time (about 30mins) and then it loses connection again. No ethernet, no wifi.

I was 'fortunate' to have access to another router from talk talk but yet again, the connection dropped.

I have run the line tests and it says there is no issue found. But of course now there is nobody to speak to and the tech chat haven't responded in 2 hours.

Frustrated beyond belief.

Hi @rachbt 

Thanks for updating your Community Profile.

I've completed a line test and this hasn't detected any faults so I have ordered you a replacement router for testing, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

Let us know how the connection compares with this router.
