Internet Disconnects but Light Stays Blue

[Repuran]

New hub arrived at 8am this morning which I was very impressed by and I set it up shortly after, connection has been stable until now, it has disconnected twice in last hour but is this to be expected when adding a new hub or should I contact BT again?

are you connected to test socket?

is it the hub dropping internet connection or you dropping the wifi conenction to the hub?

run btspeedtester and when first test completes run the diagnostic test and post results

ATM my hub isn't connected to the main socket as otherwise the desktops cannot have a wired connection, but the main socket still ha s a filter in anyway. The first time the hub changed to orange but only disconnected for about 5-10 seconds, the second time all devices lost connection (both wired and wireless) but the light remained blue, connection was lost for 5-10 minutes but some pages would load incredibly slowly (slower than other peoples usage would cause it to go). Running tests atm.

You really need to connect to the test socket to eliminate any possible internal wiring problems

I have the old casing where there is no test socket inside, the problem is still happening frequently tonight (light staying blue but connection timing out pretty often on both wired and wireless devices), what's the next step I should take?

[imjolly]

Are you connected to master socket if you have no test socket. As you cannot connect to the test socket you cannot eliminate internal wiring as causing the problem

[Repuran]

Yeah I've had the hub connected to the master socket where it enters the house and on another socket downstairs and connection still timed out at random intervals.

It looks as if you need an engineer visit

[Repuran]

Yeah, BT aren't very willing to send one even though I offered to pay. A friend earlier said the phone like I was talking on was very unstable with a lot of background noise from it , which could be linked to the disconnections?

[john46]

line noise will be the cause of your broadband problem you really need to report it as a voice fault with no mention of broadband in the call
