Got bt homehub (deathwatch beetle of routers) before christmas, and personally think i was conned into it. I installed it fine, did everything it said on the tin. So thought away we go, until about the middle of april...started getting drops in connection.
No problem i thought ...phone up heldesk and get it resolved. Little asian fellow on the other end answers and seems to to tranlate drops in connection for slow speed connections (yeah think it is in the bt training manual to tell you what they think is wrong). they booked me in an engineer and said they would work on it.
sure enough they sped up my connections, but still had my connection dropping....curse them!
Be prepared here comes the shopping list
I have gone through four filters, three rj 11 cables (including one high speed), two new phones, two new phone sockets, a full pc system reinstall, plugged in sky, unplugged sky, moved homehub off pc, away from speaker, unplugged extension phone. installed homehub software god knows how many times!............phew.
I am starting to think that bt have a secret plan to make us all learn hindu or something.
the point to all this is this
i have noticed that when my home hub drops connection (and i would like to know if anyone else can confirm this) if i make a phonecall for any length of time it reconnects. If they are any techys are out there that can explain what this is. I'd love to know!
I have recently replaced my monitor as it got into a fight with a bb gun and unfortunately lost, and it is looking the homehub is going to suffer the same fate unless someone has any ideas
