Disconnection problems

[Kro15]

For several months now i've been having issues with my internet connection dropping randomly and generally reconnecting fairly shortly after (which to be honest i have largely ignored and lived with) I have three devices that i use wirelessly and the smart TV connected with an ethernet cable (the TV seems pretty dire and slow when trying to watch catch up or youtube) I never had any problems before with any of my devices even down at my garden workshop !

I contacted TT last week via live chat and the guy i spoke top said he thought it was due to congestion and said he would make some adjustments etc. after directing me to reset my router etc. and that it should be fine but may take upto 24hrs to take effect, well there doesn't seem to be any improvement. I have rebooted my router on a number of occasions but to no avail, I even get interruptions watching a video or on a website etc. in the lounge where the router is situated as it has been for many years.....i'm wondering if it is the router that may be at fault !......please advise thanks

Thanks again for the reply Debbie, I believe I have the latest main socket mk4 5C that I understand has a built in filter, but my router is connected via an extension socket from the main socket (which it has been for a number of years) so I will try the router connected directly to the main socket and see how this goes for a few days first I think..

Would there be any cost involved for an engineer visit ?

Hi Kro15

Thanks for your reply.

If the connection is dropping when connected wired with the new router (cables and filter) at the test socket then the next step will be an Openreach engineer visit.

Would you like me to arrange this visit?

Debbie it happens with both wired and wireless......

Hi @Kro15 

I'm really sorry about this.

Can I just check, are wired connections also dropping or is it only wireless affected?

[Kro15]

Having replaced the router and re situating it I'm still having my connection disconnecting and reconnecting occasionally....

when I carry out tests it still tells me that there is an issue from router to devices !

I just managed to carry out a speed test to my router which comes up as good, but am unable to carry out a speed test from router to devices as it comes up 404 error !

HI @Kro15 

Have you received the replacement router?

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi @Kro15 

The replacement router is on its way, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

Let us know how the connection compares with this router.

Thanks

Debbie

Hi Michelle thanks for the response, all the test's i've done from this end are telling me all seems ok apart from the connection between the router and my devices, which makes me think this could be the issue !

So I would appreciate trying a new replacement router if that is possible please.....(do you agree the router could be the problem ?)

many thanks.

Morning,

Thank you. I've run a test on the line now which is clear. Would you like us to send a replacement router for testing purposes to rule this out?

Thanks

Michelle
