For queries about your TalkTalk broadband service.

Hi
I've had no broadband for 3 days and have had a solid amber light continuously after all the troubleshooting recommendations. Having this issue before it seems like a new router is required, even though the router I've got is supposedly only a couple of months new. I've had various ongoing issues for a total of three months now, and the live chat is sometimes long winded and doesn't really resolve any of my issues.
Thanks

Hi Neil,
I can see that the engineer has said that a replacement router is required so I've ordered one, it should be with you within a couple of working days

Hi Chris
The engineer has been, and he has tested the line with a test router and has found that it's a router issue, he didn't have any routers to hand, he will get someone to send a new one. He said maybe Monday or Tuesday, if you could confirm this that would be great.
Thanks Neil

Sorry for the late reply Chris, but I've booked an engineer to hopefully sort this out, if not then a new router could be an option
Thanks Neil

OK thanks for confirming. I can send another router to test with, would you like me to arrange this?

Hi
I've done this many times, but still have a solid amber light on the router.

OK thanks, have you tried resetting the router to factory default settings, if not then could you give this a try
Thanks

I haven't got a home phone to check the phone line.

Hi
I've done this about 6 or 7 times daily since the 31st of December, and I've done it today as I've done a line test and it says I'm offline, which has changed as previously it has said it's my home set up that's the problem. I've had this issue before and I think it's a router issue.

Hi NeilJ13,
Sorry to hear that you're experiencing problems with your service, are you experiencing any problems with your telephone service?
Line test is passing but I can see that your router isn't connected to the internet. Can you switch your router off and leave it off for at least 30 minutes then switch back on and retest
Thanks
Chris

No I don't, sorry.
Once staff get onto your thread, you should get a new router within 24 / 48 hours if it's at fault.
If you want to look into an alternative router, Google should help and manual set up details for non TalkTalk routers can be found here

Hi,
Profile is now complete. I don't suppose you know of any cheap compatible routers, that have a dsl port?
