Strange DNS failures

Hi all

 

I have been having issues with my connection recently, mainly slower speeds (still hitting 30mbs) and disconnects. 

 

I have just spent 40 minutes on chat with the tech team trying to nail it down, but no errors with the line showing, suggested it may be wiring in my house but nothing here has recently changed. 

 

I was just looking at my router setting and noticed some strange behaviur in the logs. Lots of DNS name resolution failures during the night when there would be no acces on my connection.

 

Anyone have a clue whats going on or if this could be the cause of my instability?

 

Thanks

That's great news, thank you so much for sorting that out. 

Hopefully that helps with the problem.

Hi

 

A new router is on the way so hardware issues can be ruled out.
