No Internet, white light still on

This has been going on since Friday, Internet goes off every hour or so and have to restart router. Getting rediculos now. Can't even watch a film without it going off. Tried everything suggested and still the same. When this happens the white light is still on and devices say connected with no Internet. Fuming.

Hi, 

I don't want to speak too soon, but since I made the changes suggested my connection has been solid for over 7 hours. Fingers crossed.

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.

Just to add, this is also happening with the wired connections not just WiFi. I work from home so this is going to be a big problem for me. Can someone please look into this.
