TWO ROUTERS LATER AND STILL NO INTERNET

Following 12-months excellent full fibre broadband service at our holiday home 4-weeks ago the internet went down with the router showing a green light. Two subsequent calls with the EE trouble shooting team led to a new router being sent, apparently there were a batch of faulty routers of which ours was on the list (despite it working perfectly for 12 months.) The new router was connected today but still exhibited the same issues (albeit after a brief period of a blue light) ie a solid green light. 

Another call to the team - apparently there was no issue with the internet but they suggested that it could be a cable problem - I explained we had used all the new cables etc. I am now getting to my wits end as the team suggested yet another router!!!

Has anyone experienced a similar fault and has any suggestions as to the fix (we have tried all those in the EE guide) Furthermore at which point should I expect an engineer to visit to diagnose and solve the problem since the heating system, TV, and security system all rely on the internet connection!

Did you get a resolution? Ours is doing the same, had the story of bad batch of power cables. New one did not resolve issue. Again we have had 8 months of ok service. 

@Lodgewoman Replied on the other posting for you!

Hi - in answer to your question, yes we resolved the issue by also replacing the transformer power cable (along with the router) with the new one sent by EE. It has solved the problem and since there has been no further drop-out. Therefore it's likely that there was no fault with the router, just the power source/cable. However, seems that you have tried to do the same to no avail. Apart from fitting new router, and all cables not sure what to suggest. Presumably you have asked EE to run test to check that fault is not outside the house?

@MORVOREN Thanks for replying, there was another PSU posting about a week after yours, and got the OP to just do a PSU swap as rush to get the Router back up quick as needed, so Amazon purchase while he waited on EE doing the replacement, PSU fixed it no issue's Router was fine and dandy. Trouble is now everyone and there granny thinks O just a faulty power supply, WRONG....👍👍
