Wifi drops out

[Dsb66]

Hello

My broadband was upgraded to fibre in January. All was fine until feb/March when the broadband would just drop randomly a couple of times through the day.

I have contacted the live chat a number of times, and the same diagnostics are run. The first couple of times they said there was no problem. Then there was a fault with the fibre provider, today that fault has been resolved. I am currently (again) wasting my mobile data as my WiFi has been off for the last 30 mins.

I am surprised to see so many other people reporting the same issue, it does seem to suggest that something is wrong with the service somewhere.

My question is is there an easier way of logging the issue, rather than giving to slog through the live chat system?

Thanks in advance!

Also, if it happens outwith chat opening hours I'd like a way to log it so any patterns in service disruption can be tracked.

Thanks for the suggestion Chris. I will try this again the next time it happens, and see if it helps. So far I've turned it off for 30 minutes, reset it, moved it away from other devices and run through the standard diagnostics etc. 

Do you know if there is a way to log issues without having to go through the chat log? I keep asking for the WiFi breaks to be added to my file, but then have to reexplain the issue each time I get through to someone on chat. If the repeated drops are not logged, then I don't think the problem is being taken seriously - the technician thinks it has been fixed because the diagnostic has been done and (apparently) there are no issues at TalkTalk's end.

Thanks for your help.

OK thanks. Can you switch the ONT and router off for 30 minutes then switch back on and retest. Please let us know how you get on

Hi Chris

The first and last lights are lit, the middle two are flickering. On the hub the white light is usually lit, but occasionally it will flash orange. Not often though.

Thanks

Thanks, have you noticed if the lights change on the ONT when the connection drops?
