Smart Hub keeps dropping connection

Magic_Torch — Thu, 13 May 2021 20:50:31 GMT

Hi. For the last few days, my hub has kept dropping the connection. I'm trying to work out whether the problem lies with my wiring or is outside the home. I have temporarily moved the hub to connect it to the master socket. Its been a few hours now and the connection hasn't dropped yet (but its gone 5 or 6 hours before and then dropped out every 15 minutes for a couple of hours).

Is there anything in tech log to suggest a problem or do these look normal (I have no idea).

I would have expected your connection to be 80mb not 67mb suggesting there is a problem which is causing the drops in connection.

Try quiet line test. Dial 17070 option 2 should be silent and best from test socket with corded phone

Thanks for the reply. Only got a cordless phone but I’ll try that in the morning and see what happens.

I assume that suggests a problem outside my house rather than with my master socket?

cheers

If you get noise on quiet line test using test socket then problem is outside your home
