Faulty router

[TomLO1]

Hiya,

It seems my router has developed a fault a few days ago, wifi is working fine with no issues however all of the ethernet ports keep dropping out repeatedly as all my hardwired devices keep showing as disconnected/reconnected.

To check that its the router and not a wiring fault i've tried running some spare patch leads directly from the router ethernet ports to the devices that are normally hardwired and still having the same issue.

I suspect that the router is faulty and a replacement is needed, can this please be arranged?

Cheers

Tom

Yeah, that wasnt really helpful to be honest, not on your part or the representative that I spoke with. More the fact that I am being told since the wifi works on the router (even though the ethernet ports dont) that I would have to replace the router at my own expense.

Unfortunately I wont be prepared to pay TT to replace a device that clearly is faulty (as in 50% of it works - how it can be classed as working with ports that dont work is beyond me) I'd rather put that money towards a proper gateway i.e. Ubiquiti and get rid of my phone rather than have another sub-standard router again (around 7 routers in 11 years with TT).

I presume that if I purchase a proper gateway it would work on your service or would you have to supply login credentials? 

Thanks

Tom
