HH6 Nightmare reboots!!!!

[Rousey4k]

Good evening all

I have been having an absolute nightmare with my BT Infinity and the HH6. Openreach have been out twice and claim there is nothing wrong on the line and then disappear again without telling me what I'm supposed to do with the issue. I have done some searching of the forums already but cant find anything similar in terms of how bad my service is. Effectively the router will reset itself 3/4 times a day at random (it goes down for approx 5 minutes each time). We have been quite strong adopters of tech with doorbells, SONOS, baby monitors, CCTV, etc so this causes great annoyance every time it happens!!

The router is in Bridge mode and is connected to an Ubiquiti Unify network which has 4 switches and probably half a dozen AP's with a fair amount hardwired to it - I am wondering if there is something here that's causing the reset but I can't imagine how that would work if it is?

So I've now logged into the router and looked at the event log but sadly this is where any of my expertise end... I can each time it resets to which it registers the same string of data and I have posted below along with the spec you get on the technical page. The weird thing about this is the date goes back to 01 Jan when the issue occurs?...and claims the reboot is a Power Reset even though it hasn't been touched. Any feedback or support on how to solve this mystery would be very welcome!! I've also copied the first couple of lines pre and post when the reboot happens

I suggest you disconnect all the connections to the home hub, and see if it still keeps restarting. If it does, then its either a very high error rate on the line, or a faulty home hub.

Is there any noise on your phone calls? Dial 17070 and select option 2, there should be no noise between the announcements.

If it stops rebooting when everything is disconnected, then add each network element, one at a time, until you find out which one is causing the reboots.

An Ethernet loop can sometimes occur if you have a complex network. This will cause the home hub to reboot.

[Rousey4k]

Thanks I have seen some ports being blocked on the Unify controlled due to STP - which I think is what prevents looping - could this be it ? 

No noise on the line

[imjolly]

If ryou setting as often as you say then at present you are lucky the DLM has not taken action to reduce your connection speed and up your noise margin.  As you can see actual speed is very close to attainable but that could change if disconnections continue

Quite possible, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol

It can occur if you have devices with more than one connection, and that could create a loopback. It would really upset the home hub.

It can happen when people connect two powerline devices to the home hub. You need to look closely at your network topology to see where such a loopback could be occurring.

Thanks

im wondering if it’s the SONOS... because of the space apart I have the main boost plugged into a switch and then 2 other units wired in at different points as the range wouldn’t reach.. and the of course some connecting wirelessly. I wonder if those 3 wired units are confusing one another

Hi did you ever find a fix to this issue?
