@RoxieReece10 i am sure we can help u out on here.
are u live yet with services or is this a replacement router??
Nobody will be able to help you until you enter your PHONE NUMBER on to your profile as the OCE's (the only people with access to this info) cannot identify your account info linking it with your avatar to run any tests or diagnosis on your line, router and box without this info.
To help with diagnosis for when you have completed this info. Do you have any internet or Wi-Fi connections from the router i.e. PC, laptop, phone etc so is the router itself working? Is the box connected directly to the Router by Ethernet cable or via Power Line Adapters ?
O.K. Firstly is it possible to temporarily connect the router to the box directly with a long ethernet cable, maybe temporarily moving the box just to see if it is the Power Line Adapters causing the problem. If so once connected turn off the router and box for at least 30 mins then turn on the box once router has fully started, this will clear this session and start a new one when the router is restarted.
Are all of the lights on both of them CONSTANTLY green with no Orange or Red occasional flashes on the centre one?
Reset and restart the PLA's swapping the plugs over to different sockets if possible othewise just swap them over.
Is it possible for you to connect either a laptop or computer to the PLA by the box and run a speedtest from there ?
P ower L ine A dapters are notorious for occasional tiny microsecond dropouts due to them using your home wiring, which can cause your problems on these boosts, which need a continuous high speed connection. So this is just to rule these out as being the problem.
If you go into settings on your TV screen, Blue button on remote > settings > Broadband Connections does it show as connected, if not, press advanced > edit connection then click manual and then connect.
This is what it’s keep saying, since yesterday, when I re started the box from the beginning, deleted everything in order for to re start again
Hi
Can you take the TV box over to the router and connect directly to the router and restart the set up process.
Sometimes the box may need to be connected direct to the router bypassing any adapters to complete the setup.
Thanks
Karl.

Hi
Set the box up fully so its working, and then move it back to the original location.
If you are using the powerline adapters, make sure the lights are on these and the middle light is on and green.
Also, make sure the adapters are directly into wall sockets as extension blocks can degrade performance.
Thanks
Karl.

Hi,
Log into the router and manually change the SSID (Wi Fi) name of the 5ghz channel.
I often find it is better to keep the 2 broadcast channels separate. For example, I have changed mine, and call one Home2Ghz and the other Home5Ghz.
Some devices can drop the connection when the SSID's remain the same.
Also, you can try manually setting the wifi channel for each broadcast channel. Try channel 6 for the 2ghz channel and 44 for the 5ghz channel.
There are apps you can download that can show the wireless channels in use. For example I use WiFi analyser for Android to show the wifi channels in use around me and this allows me to set the least congested channel.
Give this a try and see if the wifi connection improves.
Thanks
Karl.

Hi Karl,
you just sent me a new Talk Talk box and I also cannot connect to the router. Knowing that we have to sort things out ourselves, I’ve spent ages googling and found this thread...I’ve tried what you said and I connected my new Youview box to the router via the yellow cable and turned the power on. I turned off the router, then turned it and the new TV box on....I only have one light on my router and it came on, my tv box lights all flashed then came on a steady blue.
I unplugged the box and connected it all up to my tv again with power, aerial, tv connection and the adapter cable. Turned it on and still getting YVM102 and when I try to connect from settings it just says ‘connecting to router’ and I cannot clear this.
what can I do...end of my tether.
