I have a brand new router due to the last one stopping working. This one, the white light is on and works for a while, but then the internet drops out but the white light is still on. I restart it and the whole cycle starts again. Any ideas what is the problem.

Hi @LisaMorris62 

 

Apologies for this.

 

Our engineers are investigating this issue and they have asked if you can try the below:

 

Change your router DNS settings to use Google DNS.

 

  • Open your web browser, type http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar and press Enter
  • Enter the username admin (in lowercase) and password (you'll find this on the removable settings card on the back of the Hub, and select OK
  • Select See internet settings
  • Select Manage advanced settings
  • Select TalkTalk WiFi Hub
  • Select DNS Tab
  • Make sure ON is enabled
  • Add Primary and Secondary DNS Servers ( Primary = 8.8.8.8  Secondary = 8.8.4.4 )
  • Select Apply

 

Please note ;  If you currently use any Homesafe services such as Homework Time etc.  This will not work whilst you have the DNS set to Google.
