50M : Poor VM Connection, strange TBB quality monitor etc..

all that and all was needed was a simple reboot for a better upstream channel fail.

I'm still worried that there's an underlying issue that needs to be addressed though, or I'm going to keep having the same issue again in a couple of days.

It's always fine after a reset, then after 24 hours it starts to creep up again, see the last reset last week:

Although an acid test might be to move the thing back to where it was, if there is something else wrong, it'll happen again.

If it doesn't happen again, then if it wasn't something resolved externally, it would likely have been noise ingress internally. You're there and I'm not so I can't picture what might have been near the modem in the original location.

So what could that have been? (electrical)

[Rashboots]

I can take a photo of its location if that helps?

It was moved from its original location about 2 weeks ago, which could have caused some electrical interference now you mention this.

Basically, in that area is a laptop, two CDJs, a mixer, telephone (not a cordless), I can't think of anything else that is electrical that's plugged in in that location though.

It's only around 4ft from its old location though. Is that enough distance to cause issues?

I feel so stupid now it's all working correctly, like ive caused a fuss over nothing. Ooops!

[Sephiroth]

Analogue telephone? Nearby telephone jack with the orange & white wires connected?

Noise ingress comes from fridges, analogue devices etc. Basiclly RF that gets into the upstream signal.

[Rashboots]

Yes it's an analogue telephone.

Hmm... I guess only time will tell with its current location if the telephone was the issue.

I'll move it back in a week to see if it interferes again.

speakers?

[Rashboots]

Nope, no speakers thenry. Unless laptop speakers would cause the issues too?

[thenry]

yes rip them out lol only joking. whos the DJ?

[Rashboots]

Me... I'm a super star DJ ;-)

My mate moved back home and needed somewhere to keep his CDJs etc. We've got them here but they've never been used. In fact, I don't even think they could be causing the issues because they weren't switched on!

[thenry]

switch them on

[Rashboots]

I can't. We have no spare plugs for them anymore... The Christmas lights are taking up the spare sockets

[thenry]

you better get a gang extension cable for the Christmas party

[Sephiroth]

The Xmas lights switching on and off ........

[thenry]
