WIFI CONNECTS BUT NO INTERNET ON SOME DEVICES

I've recently joined Talktalk and have Fibre 65 with Sagecom Fast router (software version SG4K100136).

I'm constantly having issues with devices remaining connected to WiFi but losing Internet connection. I've restarted router but still have issues. Sometimes a device will connect and work fine and the next day it says no Internet (despite other devices having an Internet connection).

Currently my laptop connects to friends WiFi and has Internet access but doesn't have Internet access when connected to home network.

I need to use my laptop for work so I really need to solve my broadband problem!

Please help.

Hello,

 

Can you please update your community profile to include your:

We'll then look into this further. Please do not post this information on this thread. Once you've updated your profile please post in your topic to confirm it's updated.

 

Thanks

Hi @avansents,

 

It is possible your router might be suffering from Wi-Fi interference, e.g. a neighbour having a router broadcasting on the same, or similar. channel to yours.

 

You could try changing the channels that your router broadcasts the Wi-Fi signal on, you can use free smartphone Apps like this to see what channels are being used within range of your smartphone, you can then change your router to use channels that are less congested.

 

If trying the above makes no difference then it may indicate an issue with the router, the Support Team here would be able to help with that.

 

The Sagemcom router has a feature called 'Wi-Fi Optimisation', this means it can change the Wi-Fi channel itself, overriding what you have set it to, it can randomly do this after minutes, hours or days !. So if you do find a channel that works well, but then things go bad again, check to see if the router has changed channel to something different to what you set it to. If you do experience this problem then just post back here to ask the Support Team to disable the 'Wi-Fi Optimisation' on your router, once that is done it will stay on whatever channel you set it to.

 

For one of the TalkTalk Support Team on this community to be able to look into this you will need to update your community profile to include :

 

  • Your name
  • Landline telephone number that your TalkTalk service is provided on (this is shown in ‘My Account’)
  • An alternative contact number

This will allow them to identify you, and they will then be able to help.

 

Don't post any personal details in this thread, just add them to your community profile (only you and the TalkTalk Support Team on this community can see your profile details).

 

The Support Team here won't be around now until Monday, but they should be able to respond to this post early next week to help.
