I have been having problems with both connectivity loss and downloading files from a number of sites, on 3 different laptops in the house. Most recently, I have been trying to download and install the .Net framework from the Microsoft site but the download fails repeatedly.
I tried a tracert to live.com from 2 different laptops in the house and got very similar results, with alot of timeouts - see below. Does this look like a routing issue, and if so is there anything that can be done from this end to resolve it? I have tried power cycling as well as a full reset of the router, but the problems persist (and have done for a couple of weeks).
BT telephone support advised that it was likely due to a problem with my laptop, and that I probably also had too many devices connected to the router (2 laptops and 3 phones in this case), but clearly that wasn't terribly well informed feedback!
I have the BT Infinity service, and an OOKLA speed test indicates download speeds of 30Mbps, which looks fine. The router is a Home Hub3 - Type B.
Tracert results are below. Any ideas??
