Had the same problems with my Hub 5.Had 2 replacements but still had problems, India told me my line was not compatible with the BT hubs!!, this has happened on the hub 3/4/and 5.

Now using a non BT hub, now have a rock solid connection.

Which non-BT hub are you using?

Asus RT-N66U

Nice. I see the DSL version now has a VDSL2 modem 🙂

[bapiow]

Looked at that one, but not sure how to set it up properly, so stuck with the openreach modem.

Hi,

The WAN settings I have for the ASUS DSL-N66U are as follows . . . .

Transfer Mode = VDSL

Barrier = 0

Enable = Yes

Basic Config

IP Version = IPv4

WAN Connection Type=PPPoE

Enable UPnP = No

802.1q

Enable=Yes

VLAN ID =101

IP Universal Settings

Default Route=Yes

PPP Setting

If you do decide to purchase this router, make sure you upgrade the firmware to 1.0.6.3 and perform a reset thereafter by holding down the reset button for 8 seconds.

Yeah my HH5 suddenly started rebooting last night around 11.30pm. Before that it never disconnected, I always had a rock solid connection, so I put last night down to perhaps a firmware upgrade to the HH5?

Trouble is I cant see anywhere in the HH5 settings where the FW version number is so cant confirm if it was a FW upgrade.

Login to the HH5 ,click troubleshooting, then helpdesk, you can see what firmware you are running and when it was last updated.

You can also see the vdsl line stats, noise margins, line rate.
