Ours went to shit about a week ago.
Phoned them up, they claimed they found “Some blockages on the line” and that they would “have to clear it their end”.
IMO total bollocks, Im not sure the person on the other end of the phone knows a thing about networking, but who am I to argue. I might be wrong, and they might all be L2 managed line whizkids.
Anyway, they said in two days it would be back to normal. In two days it was back to normal.
Suggestion: Phone BT.
Because you’ll wipe any connection specific settings from its rom and put it back to factory defaults.
You should only ever power down and restart routers unless you want to wipe them.
You can reset without “factory resetting”. To factory reset a BT router you need to go into the firmware interface and do it from there. The reset button on the rear just cycles the power, pretty much.
In fact the first thing BT told me to do was unplug it all for 80 seconds or so. Didn’t fix it, mind.
