SH3 25 minutes to boot up.

Is this normal? Time from switch on until lights stop flashing.

Re: SH3 25 minutes to boot up.

I would say very unusual. Do you have a problem?

Re: SH3 25 minutes to boot up.

That's what I'm trying find out. What's the normal startup time?

Re: SH3 25 minutes to boot up.

I just rebooted my SH3 and it took a maximum of 3 minutes to startup.

Re: SH3 25 minutes to boot up.

OK thanks. This was from a cold start, switched off at the mains for four hours. Waited until only the white light at the bottom was on, no other green/red light flashing or otherwise.

Re: SH3 25 minutes to boot up.

It seems longer than normal it probably should take 5-10mins but maybe it was doing a firmware update too, do all your stats look normal?

Re: SH3 25 minutes to boot up.

Software version is 9.1.1802.610. First item of the network log and the rest are dated 01/01/1970.

VLC and video playback (not audio) problem, maybe related? It's an old computer, could need a full reinstall.

It's the downstream and upstream power levels that users on this forum need to see which may indicate a problem.

Re: SH3 25 minutes to boot up.

That high amount of packet loss will cause you issues worth a call to VM to remedy it or replace the hub. , Unless it's a computer side issue that is causing both the packetloss and video issues.

Re: SH3 25 minutes to boot up.

I thought 33% was a lot, that's why I ran it three times. The computer passes Avast and Malwarebytes but it doesn't seem right.

It's unlikely to be the computer causing the packet loss.

You either need to phone up or make a post on the VM forum, it'll take around a week for them to reply but they will do some checks for you and hopefully send an engineer out.
