My internet has been on and off since friday - so into day 4.   

Line check says its ok.

White light is on the router

Internet is restored if I turn it off/on.

 

Internet stays up between 30mins and 2 hours before it's down again.

 

Looks like a router problem.

Service Status Dashboard is keeping people informed to some extent, @mdc0111. The highlighted Broadband button is the place to look:

Karl - I cannot get to that page - I get as far as the Wifi-Hub and it kicks me back to the login screen.

Hi

 

Can you change the DNS Settings in your router to use Google DNS, and test this over the course of the day to see if this resolves the connectivity issue where the router light remains white.

Please report back if this does help as this will aid our investigation.

 

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.

 

Thanks 

Karl.

Staff have been looking into this since coming back on here before dawn! It will take some time to get feedback since they have escalated the issue and it's so widespread. 

 

Please only follow up on your own thread. Staff will reply to the original poster.
