Internet keep dropping

My internet keeps dropping for hours at a time. Resetting the router does nothing.

Internet - no light

Wi-Fi - green

The first thing to do (even if you’ve already tried it), is use this link to check if there are any broadband outages or issues nearby that may identify a known fault, perhaps affecting multiple households ~
https://www.sky.com/servicechecker

NOTE: The Service Checker doesn’t necessarily disclose a problem immediately and there is up to an hours delay before it picks up a lost connection so perhaps try it again later.

If there aren't any then try running the line test here
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/broadband-diagnostic-start
You can also run the test via the MySky app on a mobile data connection.

Once completed, if it reports back that all is okay click on 'broadband' to run an updated test. If you get amber or red you need to follow the on-screen instructions.

If you’re still having problems you may need to report it to Sky. The easiest way is to dial 150 free from your Sky Talk landline if it’s still working.

Working from home?; Sky broadband discussed on here is a domestic service and whilst it's fine for customers working from home to use it, they won’t receive additional or quicker support.

Re: Internet keep dropping

Thanks, this was helpful.  But I had to call out an engineer to fix the fault with the box.
