Disconnects multiple times in a day

[fusionet24]

Hi there,

I've been on infinity since October time and got the HH5. However, I've been receiving disconnects recently from the Internet while still connected to the router. I'm still connected to the router via wifi or ethernet but the WAN just drops. ANd it takes a little bit to reboot. I assume it must be to do with the line from the cabinet to the house.

Here is a typical log of the WAN when it goes down (it went down twice in this perioid) -

Hi, I've got infinity and for the last several months same issue. BT sent out a new hub but service is slower and keeps switching connection. Upon reading this a) glad it's not just me b) think they've sent wrong hub - it's a 4 but reading here and on bt homepage anyone who is on infinity should have "5" hub. Guess back on the phone to them..... More time on phone with them than on Internet......

 There are many reports of exactly what you're seeing as a result of the latest firmware upgrade.

Now, I don't have a problem but many people do.

The quick fix is to get an Openreach modem at auction and use that to front-end the Homehub, or a better fix is to buy a different modem-router entirely like the TP Link TD W9980 for example

If you have a white Openreach modem you can use the Homehub 4. If no Openreach modem it is the Homeub 5 you need.

So you have a Homehub4 and an OR modem and you're having the same issue as with the Homehub5, but you want a Homehub5 ?

Are you sure?

[fusionet24]

What about the fix of rolling back to previous firmware or BT not shipping firmware that kicks out a lot of users 😛

Is it possible to roll back firmware? 

[ray_dorset]

I'm not aware of a fix like that, sorry.

[john46]

rollback is not possible
