Hi,
Can anyone please advise we are rolling out a number of BT Smart Hub 2 devices within our infrastructure. Some work from setup fine but we intermittingly encounter issues with other BT Smart Hub 2 devices.
Typically the blue light shows on the devices that cannot break out to the internet but when you check the Broadband IP address within the Business Smart Hub 2 Manager it lists a private address e.g. 10.15.x.x instead of a public IP.
When you run a 8.8.8.8 ping from the BT Smart Hub 2 you receive a 100% packet loss.
Usually is this issue caused by a faulty router or an issue with the circuit? when we have encountered this issue we tried multiple reboots and also have tried a number of factory resets but the issue still remains. When we contact BT they cannot see an issue with the line. As I've mentioned when we setup in other sites it works fine. Is there any other recommended steps we can do to get this resolved and hopefully avoid encountering this issue going forward.
Thank you
I can help you, but only if you answer my earlier questions.
Run ipconfig /all and post the results
I have a similar issue. All devices are WIFI connected (but see later). The internet stays connected for maybe a day or so sometimes less, then all devices lose internet connection (except a work vpn which maintains its connection throughout). If i attempt to reconnect a device that's dropped off says no internet (wifi is fine and connect to router ok), this is true for wifi and also ethernet connections (if i plug in network cable instead which dont normally do), only solution is to reboot router and then its fine for another while maybe a day or so maybe only a few hours, time varies.
If the issue happens and the work vpn is not connected then that too will not connect as says no internet, but as i said earlier if it is connected it keeps the connection up.
During the process BT issued 2 replacement smart hub 2 devices, and even supplied a wifi disc (but it was never about the wfi), no difference, said the line was fine, I asked about any external issues, said that wasn't needed as that wasn't the problem.
Their speed test results say Poor, and there may be a problem with your internal setup, and then its says

This went on for several weeks, and I then set up a ping to google.com to see exactly when the connection failed time and date recorded and showed all the response times, BT then said they could see drops of less than a minute on the line, eventually they said they would get a network engineer on the case (even though they said earlier it wasn't needed), so I have an external network engineer coming out next week to fix the problem - fingers crossed, Ill update more next week.
Also, the Master socket was changed in the process, and I have FTTC broadband - 50m bit speed, I have no landline
Further update, openmreach engineer came out, identified in the cabinet the wire was wrapped around several things and very tight and it snapped, he replaced it, when returning to the house he advised the speed was not at 67mbits, previously 50mbits, so big difference in speed. That was on Wednesday this week, today is saturday and there have been several disconnections so far but different messages on router similar to these below
Will log with Bt and see what next steps are, and update this in due course
