Dead router

[Christianjward2]

Hello,

In February I received a new router as the one I was using had an intermittent fault. This new router has now died completely.  No internet, no Wi-Fi, nothing. I tried some online tests through the talk talk site and was told there was a fault with the router (REP-12901615). I have tried everything at my end to resolve the issue but nothing makes any difference. 

As it happens I still have the old router with the intermittent fault which I am currently using again as it is better than nothing and works ok most of the time. However I would like this resolved properly and to have a reliable router in place.  The new router has lasted only 3 months which is somewhat concerning. 

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi Debbie,

Yes the new router has arrived and is working ok. The faulty one was posted back today. 

I notice that this latest replacement is a wi-fi hub 2 whereas the previous ones were the older wi-fi hub 1 so perhaps this one will fare better. 

Thanks,

Christian

Hi Christian

Have you received the replacement router?

Thanks

Hi

I'll swap out the router, but if this keeps happening with the next router, then we have to consider that the issue may not be the fault of the router and could be with some other form of interference or device.

Hi,

This router has now developed its own problem. Three times today and twice yesterday it has disconnected all devices from Wi-Fi claiming the password is incorrect. If I turn the router off then on again everything reconnects so the issue is nothing to do with the password being incorrect. 

To be honest I’m really not happy with these routers. Each one I’ve had seems to have a different issue and none of them have lasted very long. This one has barely made it a week. 

I recently renewed my contract with TalkTalk for another two years based partly on how responsive these support forums are but I am beginning to regret this as I don’t want another two years messing about endlessly swapping routers out. 

Please sort this out. 

Thanks

Hi Christian 

I'm really sorry to hear this.
