BT Home Hub very werid....

gazzae · 08-03-2011, 07:15

If my home hub is lying flat the internet works fine. If it is standing up then I can't get onto the internet!
See the attached Ping. It was working fine, set it up right get request timed out. Set it flat and it works fine again!
I assume its on its way out but any ideas whats causing it?

It's a homehub, find yourself a netgear DG834G and replace it.

Im guessing a HH 2.0 right? If so, they are crap

gazzae · 08-03-2011, 09:08

Crap it maybe but its been working fine for a year. Just wondering what causes it to work lying flat but not standing up

Are you talking about a wired or a wireless problem

gazzae · 08-03-2011, 09:46

Only seems to affect wireless.

pabscars · 08-03-2011, 09:58

Why don't you stand it up ie loose wireless connection on purpose, then ring up BT and say its broke.

They should send you out a new one I would have thought, either that or just leave it in the position it works in.

Maybe one of it's antennas has broken?

Does the wireless drop out or show as weak signal if you stand it up?

Just wanted to say, I've had the BT service since September 2009. Very recently the connection cuts out. It has never happened before so frequently.

VM would cost to put it here. Installation etc

Care to enlighten us to exactly what the above means at all.

I was just stating a fact?

I can't get VM into the flat that I live in, it would cost more than using the existing BT connection.

I have a wifi BT connection, it isn't very good. I would prefere the wired VM connection that we did have years back, well it was Telewest back then.

Maybe it's tired or just plain lazy....

If you can't get VM into the flat you live in then how could it possibly cost more than your present BT connection?

If you can't get it, you can't pay for it, so it can't cost you any more.

Hi Gazzae

Can I ask how you have the BT HomeHub set up?

I am trying to resolve a Scientific Atlanta WebSTAR EPC2100R2 cable Modem with a BT HomeHub v2.0 serving a Wireless Signal.

I can get the HomeHub to be passive and Wired I can get 1 PC on, I am struggling to get the Wireless aspect of it all sorted and could do with some help.

Thanks
