Help my sky Q router has been losing internet conection every 20-30 mins or so. The internets stops working then the internet light goes out on the router and then turns orange. This lasts for a couple of minutes or so and then goes back green. This problem has been happening for a good few days now and nothing seems to sort the problem. Please help.

Have you ran the broadband test to see if it picks up any faults?

I have a similar issue, happens 2 or 3 times a day and has been on going for weeks, I have ran the diagnostic and it tells me everything is fine.

Yes i have ran the test and it comes back saying everything is normal. I have restarted the router and also unplugged the power for 30 seconds and still had no success.

@PeeWeddzThat is not what we are looking for, if you go to the bottom of that page it says show stats, click on that you will then see what we are looking for.

I have tried to run the test and it says everything is working fine, I have not reset the router for quite a while its stuff i have done in the past as I have been having issues for a long time, I did raise another post regarding my initial issue which I worked out was being caused by my SKY Q box but since I disconnected this from my switch that problem disappeared (this was in May) and now I keep losing internet connection, this has been going on for pretty much the whole of June multiple times a day.

Here is a copy of the stats if needed

@farabaldy Can see a drop on the connection, what does the broadband test say when you run it?

Almost the same as my situation. Can you tell me if it's a total block of your internet ? Some websites and apps work for me, some don't. I've seen nothing like this before. Ironically the sky site doesn't work. The internet check shows no issues.

my internet drops completely but everything does not all drop together, i do online gaming and use discord for comms, my game drops out as does my boy's game, but discord stays connected and although i can not hear anyone they can all hear me, then after a couple of minutes discord will also disconnect, to me it almost seems like my ping gets that bad that nothing can cope and the programs i am running that are more critical for the ping drops offline first then other stuff drops at at a slightly later point and then the router light goes off and then starts to flash orange.
