Like I said earlier I had this problem Constantly having to reset my router 10 times a day.


I changed my WAN Connection Type from PPPoA to PPPoE and the problem has ceased.


Might have to reset once or twice a week. But that is quite normal.


Just check your WAN Settings on your Router. They may of changed if you at sometime

did a hard reset on your router. Usually a button on the back of your device or sometimes

a small hole where you insert a paper clip / pin .

Being out of contract gives to better a negotiating position. If they refuse, threaten to change to another provider - I bet they'll send you round their first-born child with a new router gaffer taped to it. Especially as BT, Sky and V-media are campaigning hard for new business.


V-media sent us a notice just before Christmas saying they were raising our broadband price (which gives you the right to exit your contract). We rang them, said we were looking to take a certain deal with BT and they reduced our price there and then to less than we'd been originally paying with no new contract (though we still have 9 months on our old one).


(Seems using V-media's proper name is a no-no in the Lounge!)

Tried that in December, got a PAC (?) code after they only offered to reduce my monthly payment by 50p !!!


And I'm concerned at customer service if I go elsewhere, otherwise I would.


Fox, I'm sure it's my stupidity but I have no idea what you're talking about re WAN type. I've never done a hard reset on my router, and nothing has changed since the router was installed.


I don't want to do anything which might make things worse.


I'm going to try some other channels first.

Sue..


How on earth did you set your router up in the first place...


Http://192.168.2.1 will normally take you to your router...


Then you will need to enter Username / Password.


on a new router where you have not changed either


Username :- password


Password :- admin


You may need to refer to your Router Documentation.


Then just go to WAN Settings and check it is set to PPPoE

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)



PPPoA(Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM)

PPPoA is for Static IP addresses which you do not have.

By following the comprehensive instructions provided with the router ....


And I changed channels by following the comprehensive instructions provided by Plusnet ....


I don't have time to do anything else about this today.

    • erm, I did read, I referenced and I posted - what is your point?
    • Try and read before commenting Sep, or you will, as you have done, not be relevant
    • if anyone believes Reform is a party they can trust then they really don't need to be insulted by me - they are doing all the damage themselves If people don't like the state the country is in they should question why Farage fought for Brexit and why it continues to damage the country so much. He and you will splutter it wasn't done properly but if you can't see the contradictions I can't help you
    • It's not incredibly difficult to understand that people vote Reform because they don't want the Tories back and they don't like Labour and they don't like the state the country is in. It hardly makes them "criminally negligent" - in fact, Sepiroth,  you can just stop insulting people just because you don't like what they have to say - it doesn't really add to your credibility. While Sep says "What the country needs is a serious, mature electorate", what the country REALLY needs is a party that we can trust - and that we do not have.  There is no point at all in having a serious and mature electorate if we don't have a serious and mature party to get vote for.
