@CJWALES82

I am assuming that you have sky internet calls that require the phone to be connected to the router ?

Can you post your router stats ?

I take it you are using a longer cable to that you can have the router in the place you want it. I take it that the cable you did buy was an rj11 to rj11 cable?

@CJWALES82

Just wondering what your minimum speed guarantee is ? If that is sogea single use then you should be closer to 80Mbps

That is too blurry on my device to read. Can you log on again and copy and paste. Also what is your minimum speed guarantee ?

@CJWALES82

Subject to evidence to the contrary your speed is good and the system time closely matches wan mer , lan and wlan up times meaning there have been line drops since the last reboot. Hopefully another community member can cast a fresh set of eyes on this

@CJWALES82

That would be typical guarantee on a 80Mbps down 20Mbps up profile. There would appear to be line instability somewhere betwee the router and cabinet. Re the system times etc did you reset your router today ? If you could leave it to 18:00 ish log onto the router go to support section and copy and paste your syslog. At the end of the day you are under your guarantee so sky should investigate
