Intermittent connection

DunePlodder — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 14:37:28 GMT

I have a 5G broadband Router in Worle, near Weston-super-Mare. Normally it works well.

Since this morning though the connection has been cutting in and out.

Network status says there is no problem.

Note, it only goes off briefly - a few seconds to a minute or so, but this is happening very frequently, perhaps a dozen times an hour - or more.

Any suggestions?

What hub model?

The following applies to the Y5-210MU external hub:

Reset (not just reboot) hub, if that doesn't help, Try:

log on to the hub https://192.168.0.1 You MUST use userid admin and password printed on hub label
Navigate to Advanced->System->TR069
Disable TR069 and Periodic Inform
Submit, if that fails with a red message then set the 'Request user name' field to admin and try again. Do Not clear the 'ACS user name' field
Navigate to Advanced->System->Maintenance
Disable Scheduled Reboot or change to a less frequent interval (days)
Click on Scheduled Reboot to save

Hub Model is MC888

OK, I have solved the problem. It was nothing to do with the 5G Hub.

The WiFi on my PC is obviously dying. Using an old USB WiFi dongle solved the problem.

Thank you for your help.

While I'm here does anyone have an explanation for why my connection is so much faster via a VPN than without it?
