New router keeps dropping Wifi
New router keeps dropping Wifi
Im with BT (UK) and bought a VR2800 modem router. Got everything powered up and connected, entered the standard bthomehub@btbroadband.com / BT combination for username and password and setup both bands of wifi with passwords.
I started adding thru the mobile Tether app my devices (phones, tabets, tvs etc) one by one so I could add the name of the device one by one.
With 10 devices connected, everything worked well. Then everything lost wifi, neither band could be found on any device. The lights on the router were all white. I rebooted the router (power off button) then powered up.
Again, wifi was back but all the connected devices' names were gone in the app so I have a list of "Unknown" device instead of knowing what they were.
About 40 minutes later, while watching youtube, the wifi was lost to the telly. I looked on my phone and sure enough, no wifi, and no bands visible.
I'm now sat here on my PC which is hard wired to the router, and the web router page is extremely slow, shows nothing on the wireless tab.
My phone is right beside the router and does not pick up either of the wifi bands.
So far not impressed. Am I going to have to restart the router every 40 minutes, and lose the connected devices names each time?
