Hi, Just a few words regarding Infinity and the home hub V3. ... The only "problem", such as it is, with the V3 is that should you disconnect it for any reason, it takes a while to re-sync. After syncing again, it is rock steady....

?
Good to hear your praise, but the HH3 doesn't "sync" with anything. (I suppose you could say it does a wireless sync with wirelessly attached devices but I doubt if that is what you mean).

It is the OR modem that sync's with the cabinet.

So which are you disconnecting "for any reason"? The modem or the router? Are you powering down either of them sometimes?

Don't forget the HH3 does establish the PPPoE session to BT, since the OR modem is just a dumb modem.

Hi Bob,
My lack of preciseness, I'm afraid!
When I've disconnected the router from the BT Openreach socket, because we're sorting out how the final internal wiring will be - two Sky boxes compound what we need/want - then I lose connection, obviously, but it takes quite a while for the three light display on the hub to show again in the correct colours.
I had grave reservations about going back to BT again, but my o2 - which I kept on as backup - has been so poor lately (FOUR engineer visits - still less than one meg and disconnecting every which way - and still not the 2.8/3.8 meg that I've been used to over the last four years) would at least do for emails and banking.
Shame about o2, as their staff have always been courteous and helpful but BT just can't get the fault sorted.
Thanks for the reply.
Cheers, Les.

Correct, modified v2's

I know. From his 15:39 post it appears that's what he means. That's quite slow - presumably at the server end.

I use an Airport Extreme rather than the HH 3 and it does take a while to authenticate but not as long as the HH from what I remember.

Hi Scoot,

I can take a look at this for you. Please can you send me in your details using http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4950 and make sure to include a link to your post.

Cheers

Hi Paddy,
You replied to the wrong person.

May be it's a faulty Home Hub.
And it also could be worth it to check wiring between the Hub & your PC/laptop/another end device.

E.g. once I've got Infinity installed, my desktop PC worked great, and gave 37/8 speed, but wife's laptop only gave 5/8. This got me thinking & testing.
It appeared that network card properties came up with "10/Half" link setting.
I replaced the network wire and voila -- here we are at 37/8 just like my PC.

Looks like that faulty wire was also affecting NAS speeds as they doubled after I replaced the wire.

Try other devices with same Home Hub to exclude potential wiring issue?

Yes, I agree with Homehub Hanging, hang all homehubs with a good rope.

My HH2 keeps hanging and on non Invinity. This has happened more and more ever since the last firmware update of the box about a month or so ago.

Gets really annoying especially in the middle of a download.

Look at the HH and see all the blue lights on. ut the Internet one does not flash when Im trying to do something, then all of a sudden the internet light goes orange. After a min or so then flashes and then back to blue, and internet is working again. I have noticed this mostly happens just after 12.30am!

Could it be a faulty firmware update and forces the Internet to reconnect if too many errors or what ever on the line?
