Wi-Fi Router

[IDunwell]

Mi Wi-Fi stops working intermittently, apparently it’s a become a known problem! The advice is to reset the router but my router won’t reset, I have to turn it on off before my Wi-Fi comes on again until it fails again. But the router light always stays white it’s only when my Wi-Fi connected devices stop working I know there is a problem. Looking on this forum others are experiencing similar issues and their routers are being replaced.

Hi @IDunwell 

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.

Hi @IDunwell 

Apologies for this.

 I think this may be related to a current fault that our engineers are investigating - (white light on router but no connection) I'll post back here as soon as I receive an update from the team investigating this.

Thanks
