WiFi Dropping out

Hi

We had our internet upgraded in October to Full Fibre and it has been great until about 3 - 4 weeks ago. 

The Wifi suddenly seems to drop for a couple of seconds then reconnects.  If I turn the router off and switch back on it will be fine for a day or two but then have the same problem. At first it was every couple of days but now it is daily. 

 

Yesterday morning my granddaughter was playing her tablet and it disconnected 3 times in 30 minutes.  It will just disconnect for 1-2 seconds and says check your internet connection then reconnect. 

Last night I turned off the ONT and Router for 15 minutes and it has been fine until 14.45 today when dropped again.

 

We have a couple of tablets (different models) and a PlayStation using the Wifi and it happens to all of them. This can happen any time of the day - morning, afternoon or late at night. 

 

The router is on the 2nd floor and we get great signal in all the rooms. Speed is also great.

Wifi Signal strength is full bars on her tablet and I checked the speed of the tablet and it is 138 mbps. 

 

I also have a PC connected via Ethernet cable to the router and that is fine no problems with that.

 

The router we have is Sagemcom-FAST5464.

Would this be a problem with router?

 

Many thanks

Morning,

 

Ok thanks for confirming. Would you like us to send a replacement router for testing purposes to see how the connection compares?

 

Thanks

Hi Chris

I haven't sorry.  It drops out so quick and then back on again i don't think i would get there in time. 

I have just checked now and the lights are all green.  They were green yesterday when i turned it off and I waited for them to all come back on.  The router is a solid white light.

Hi phone23,

 

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing problems with your service. Have you noticed if the lights change on the ONT when the connection drops?
