Wi-fi down for twenty minutes once a week

[TroyGilfeather]

My wi-fi goes down for twenty minutes once a week, at which times I usually am without a phone line. TT Service say my line is good, and that I must have a home fault

No, that was not a solution (message 4)

Hi Troy,

Thanks for the additional information. Is the router currently connected at the moment? If the voice service is currently ok then we can focus on the broadband connection. Do you have a different router that you can test with?

Thanks

17.03.2021  Internet was down again for a few minutes between 0845 and 0851 and 0859 to 0905, showing red/blank then red/white, but not solid red. the dial tone was ok so I was unable to carry out your test with the router disconnected.. 

Now at 18.54 the same with red/white light on router: still got dial tone

Now at 18.55 all ok

now 18.56 intermittent red/blank. still got dial tone

18.57 all ok.

My wife has just commented that this time (circa 17.00 hrs) is a regular time for our outages of internet.

17.00 solid white light

Hi TroyGilfeather

Thanks for your reply.

The line tests are passing - No faults detected.

When you experience the no dial tone fault, have you tested with a corded handset at the test socket, with the router removed from the line?

Thanks

Debbie

No . It has happened three times at intervals of about seven or ten days, and lasts for about twenty minutes, during which time I usually have no phone connection, and the dect handset at the main inlet says 'line error'. Once I have service back, I ask for a service check which is always 'all systems go', even on the last occasion when it went down again half way through the service check, but ten minutes late said my line was good.

Hi TroyGilfeather

I'm really sorry to hear this.

Does this happen at the same time every week?
