I have the BT Home Hub 2 with 5 Complete WiFi discs (the black ones) running the usual mix of computers, tablets, phone and airplay devices together with 9 wifi cameras and its NVR.
The system has been running 99.9% perfectly since the beginning of the year. On the 30th Dec last year I have a couple of these messages in the Technical Log of the Advanced Settings.
CWMP: Session start now, server: https://pbthdm.x.x.x, Event code: 4 VALUE CHANGE
These are BT logins and should not be any concern. On the 8th of January I had three more. Again no cause for concern, just BT getting into the hub to "do stuff". No drop outs or anything.
On 18th January from 10am to 1pm I had fourteen (14!) of these messages and my internal WiFi collapsed. Cameras where inaccessible, airplay printer wouldn't work, I got kicked from a work call over the next couple of days. Looking at the devices from the Smart Hub 2 Manager they were all connected with excellent signal strength (-45dBm or better), the discs were all connected correctly with good signal (-70dBm or better), but the Link Rate provided by the BT App showed 1Mbps for the devices in question.
The poor links jumped around various cameras and devices in a random fashion. I called BT and an engineer suggested a factory reset - which we did but that did not resolve the issue. The whole internal network is unreliable and inconsistent. Most of the traffic is internal (to prove this to myself I used the access controls in the app to shut off internet access to cameras and airplay devices).
Just had a BT engineer visit and he agreed that the CWMP value changes of the 18th correlated with the device issues. It looks to me as if the Hub is throttling or otherwise trying to manage the devices. Something that didn't happen before the 18th and these messages.
Does anyone know how to completely factory reset a Hub or why these config changes stick beyond a factory reset?
