Hi since moving to now broadband from bt ive noticed that the wifi connection keeps dropping for a split second causing devices to drop connection. never had this with the bt home hub..
ive tried different channels turning the 5ghz off and only using 2.4ghz and still happens after about 1hr.
dont think its a signal problem as devices right next to the hub drop connection..
ive tried the live chat help but got no where with them they tried getting an engineer out because they say im below the min guarentee speed im 10MB over so no problems there.
then it was they dont guarantee wifi speed but thats not the problem.
its the wifi dropping like i can be listening to radio through the tab on wifi it will just stop and then i have to reconnect. plus i lose connection on my mobile at the same time..
its all reconnects without about 1 second so dont know whats happening

Hi @Anonymous User
See if going into the NowTV Hub 2 Router settings and disable IPV6 on Lan side improves the wifi drop outs on your phone.
You can access the NowTV Hub Router settings by typing in 192.168.0.1 into your internet browser URL.address bar.
Once the NowTV Hub 2 Router webpage settings appear on screen select the Advance tab, then when prompted use admin & nowtv then select the Lan IP setup, then untick the Enable IPV6 on Lan side, then click on the Apply button.

Going to try this. NowTv recommended a hard reset or a new hub, but this seems a more logical starting point given all the comments about the similar sky box.

Also getting WiFi drops every few hours which is so problematic for work video calls. Anyone found a fix ? I was just about to buy a little WiFi router to connect via a LAN port but it seems like this has been tried already ??

I am not a broadband customer with Now TV. All I can say is to call the broadband team, 0800 free from number on the link below.

It could be an issue with the router. This link may or not be useful.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! I have lost connection at least 7 times in the last hour and kept waiting on a line that sounds like someone rubbing sandpaper in my eardrum! This has been going on for weeks. Fed up with all the lies I've been told by support about engineers not needing to come to my house but will fix the problem in the street. What a load of old flannel!
Reading what has been said on other forums the problem is the new hub 2. The equipment is failing. I was been sent a new hub last week and still the problem persists as well as rotten crackling on my phone line for over a week.
