Hi,
Thought I would try here before calling the help desk. Every few days or so the internet connection is dropped. I go through the trouble shooting section on the my sky app and it always results in me having to unplug the broadband hub wire from the micro filter on the master socket and plug it back it in to get the hub to reconnect. No great hardship but starting to get annoying now as it seems to be increasing in frequency.

Can you post your hub stats as shown below

Interestingly, it looks like the router has restarted. Would have added the syslog but it has cleared. Typical 🙂
I noted it did have ptm0.1 - WAN link Down. when I had to reconnect last time.

At the minute you speeds look good but there is not enough info to see the line drop. I would reckon to see at what stage and how many times a day the line drop happen would need 6 hours of the syslog .If possible could you post your syslog at 16:00 ish after modifying the date stamps and removing your public ip address

Does look like you have a dropping line.
Is the hub connected to the master telephone socket?
I will escalate your post to Sky, I cant guarantee they will be able to do anything as Openreaches threshold for a fault is usually 5-10 drops per day and I gather that yours is 1 every few days?
28 Jun 2022 02:35 PM
Posted by a Sky employeeThank you for escalating this. We have sent hollisa an invite to chat 🙂

Posted by a Sky employeeUpdate – Thanks for chatting to us hollisa. Unfortunately, there was no further response on the chat in 48 hours, we are still waiting to help you. If you need our support let us know and we can re-escalate to our chat team. Your chat has been closed now. Thanks 🙂
06 Jul 2022 10:38 AM
Apologies, for not responding sooner. I didn't reply to the support chat as I didn't have the energy to discuss the merrits of oh we couldn't find a root cause to the intermittent issue therefore just factory reset your router. It has been stable up untill around 8:30 last night. I think I will live with it for now. I don't fancy having to add in firewall rules again. Also If I save and restore the config doesn't that defeat the object of a factory reset?
07 Jul 2022 09:51 AM
Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreA factory reset it a normal first step to try and solve this issue. You should not restore from a backup once you've factory reset the router as a custom setting you've put it may have caused the issue in the first place

Any ideas?
It's getting ridiculous now the connection to the router keeps dropping and we have to reset it to get connection back. The worst part is Sky's terrible customer service when asked about the problem all they ever give is default stock answers. Does anyone else have this problem?
09 Jul 2022 10:09 AM
How often do you need to factory reset because doing that always isn't a fix? And does the router completely lock up and have no alternative than a factory reset or power cycle? Have you tried pinging the router when this occurs, 'ping 192.168.0.1' when it occurs and post that to the forum when it occurs again, please.
09 Jul 2022 10:14 AM
And if those here can ping the router and it's still offline then a copy of the router stats should be posted at the point it has failed, so we can establish traffic flow.
