Hi @Sarah3310

I am very sorry to hear this has been happening.

Which router do you have?

Do the router lights change colour when this happens?

Speak soon.

Leanne 🙂

@Sarah3310 , if this happens once a month, then just unplug it and replug it and you will be up and running again, this happens to me every month, so I just unplug and remove the network cable, plug it in and am up and running in no time, if it is happening more often, then this would need looking into.

Welcome to EE's Home Broadband Forum.

If you would like help with your BB speed or connection issues, please would you carry out the following steps for starters, which will enable us to diagnose the problem and advise you further. Do not restart your router to do these tests:

1. Post your full router stats:

For a BrightBox: login and go to Advanced Settings > System > DSL Status. Also post 'System Uptime' from top of System Log page.
For a SmartHub: login and go to Advanced Settings > Technical Log > Information. Obscure your names & any numbers in the BB Username & also the SSIDs.
For other routers: login to it according to the label on it as the admin user & navigate looking for its router/connection statistics.

Full router stats are key to any speed & connection issues.

2. What does BT Wholesale Broadband Availability Checker estimate for your phone number? Post just the whole table and the line above it, blanking out your phone number. If it doesn't recognise your phone number or you don't have one, use the Address Checker, not the Postcode Checker.
