Often is a line issue but you need to 100% rule out any other possible cause before bothering to phone any provider. | |

Not managed to dig the old router out yet, and left everything plugged in as before and I've had no drops since the 7th...I'm thinking it was a line issue and it's now sorted :thumbs: | |

Your phone will probably have the cable you need. | |

You need a RJ11 to 'BT Plug' cable like this | |

Not sure how to connect the router to the socket without a filter, it's got a smaller connecting head? The router is still accessible through 192.168 etc when the internet is gone, and if I reboot it through the page it all works fine again for 12 hours. It did have some weird connection time out thing of 30 minutes but I took that off and didn't change anything. That's the only modification to the settings I have made since I plugged the router in several months ago | |

Echo John, use that socket and just try a different router. If not then it's not your problem | |

Its strange that you have to keep resetting the routers, generally speaking most routers should attempt to get the ppp session back up if there is a disconnection. Perhaps look at the stats on your router? Can you even access your router when the 'Internet is down' ? Could be that the router is crashing and thats what you are experiencing. | |

Leave it plugged into that socket with the phone unplugged and no filter. | |

Yes from looking at a picture of an NTE5 socket on Wikipedia that's what I have. I unscrewed the bottom half and plugged the DSL filter into the test socket which then feeds the router and landline | |

Do you not have an NTE 5 socket? | |

So yea, tried the master socket, slight improvement in speed but no better on reliability, still woke up to a dropped connection this morning, but I know it was working at midnight because my podcasts updated themselves (only works on WiFi). | |

No nothing like that oceansoul, just bog standard face plates. I'll try the bottom floor socket then. Dropped again a couple of hours ago again, thanks guys | |

As its a new build you might have one of the new external NTE boxes. The 'old' nte5 master socket is what people are referring to, that's the box with a split near the top and a test socket in the back. The new external one has a test socket inside. By removing the yellow piece I believe. This disconnects all customer side wiring. | |

The bottom one will be the master socket, if you unscrew it and plug the router straight into the socket behind it you'll generally get a better speed. | |

Do you even get these in newbuild properties these days? I don't even have a hallway where it would traditionally be, I have a phone socket on each of my 3 floors, the router is plugged in on the middle floor purely for logistics of the signal being strong above and below? | |

Tried the master socket/test socket behind the front? | |

In the 3 years I've been with talk talk I've had to reset various routers once maybe twice. In the jet week I've had to do it at least once a day, starting to get annoying now. Is it likely to be something my end or theirs causing it? |
