Issues with disconnects

[JordanS]

A couple months ago I was having constant issues with DL speed drops. I reported this to Talk Talk many times to be told 'our test isn't detecting any faults' despite me contacting multiple times to raise the issue. They sent out a new router as I hadn't been upgraded, and this has since resolved the issue. However, since the new router I have been having regular disconnects when I get home from work, once or twice an evening. I'll be gaming and in Discord with friends, I disconnect from the game I'm playing, my voice goes "laggy" in Discord so I'm told, then I cut out, 10 seconds later I'm back like nothing happened. I'm on a wired connection to my PC, so wireless won't be the issue, although my wife has noticed similar issues and she is working on a wireless laptop, so there definitely appears to be an issue with the router in some way, as opposed to my line as I never had these disconnect issues previously, only when I had the new router to resolve the speed issues.

Morning,

I'm really glad to hear this. I'm just sending you a short survey via a PM now.

Thanks

Hi @Karl-TalkTalk , touch wood, so far it's been all good since the firmware update. Will continue to monitor but yes it seems to have resolved it.

Hi JordanS

Morning @Debbie-TalkTalk, thank you. I'm qt work in the office today but will monitor tonight and coming days to report back.

Hi Jordan

UPDATE.

The firmware has now updated, please can you let me know how the connection compares now with this router connected?

Thanks

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi Jordan

Sorry for the delay.

I'm trying to make a change to the router firmware, is the router still switched on?

[JordanS]

@Debbie-TalkTalk  Just FYI, the new router is still disconnecting.

[JordanS]

Hi @Debbie-TalkTalk , the new router is all connected now.

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi Jordan

Could you connect the router again and I will check the firmware first.

Thank you.

[JordanS]

Hi @Debbie-TalkTalk , we can give it a try, could it also be firmware related on the current 'new' router that I have? I haven't personally updated the firmware and last time I tried on the old router I believe this is something only you guys can do now as the firmware isn't available to download online anymore from what I found previously.

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi Jordan

Would you like me to send one more router for testing?

[JordanS]

With the old router speed drops frequently, too much for me to want to use. With the new one there are no speed drops, but disconnects instead.

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi Jordan

Thanks for your reply.

Is the speed lower at certain times?

[JordanS]

Good morning @Debbie-TalkTalk , I can confirm that I've had the old router plugged back in for the last few days and I've had no disconnects, I've had speed drops as I previously did, but no disconnects.

Morning JordanS

How are you getting on?

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi JordanS

Ok no problem. I just wanted to check in with you.

Thanks 

Debbie 🙂

Hello @Debbie-TalkTalk , haven't been able to switch it over yet, I'm working from home today so will give it a try when I finish later this evening, shall then monitor over the coming days and will report findings here. Thanks.
