Re: Internet stops working every hour for 1 minute
It's an app you can get from the app store for whatever cell phone you have. To be honest, it's unlikely to help but something you can try. If you're not comfortable accessing the router and changing the settings then I wouldn't worry about it, by default it's auto going to find you the best channel. I just wanted to eliminate it as a source of the issue. Here's a link that will explain a little: https://www.howtogeek.com/197268/how-to-find-the-best-wi-fi-channel-for-your-router-on-any-operating-system/9.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Internet stops working every hour for 1 minute
PS another thing I tried was assigning a static IP address to all my devices. In the router page its Network > LAN drop down menu (weirdly hidden) > LAN DHCP. You can only assign 10, but that was enough for me to get all my Boosts and then all the other devices. I'm not sure which one helped fixed it, or if either helped to be honest, but it has gotten better. You could try both these things.9.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Internet stops working every hour for 1 minute
Yes I've had this. Had the techs out twice to try and fix it. Tried all new hardware, didn't help. I saw this older thread here, must be a common issue. https://forum.telus.com/t5/Internet-Home-Phone/wifi-cutting-out-for-20-seconds-every-hour-exact-same-minutes/td-p/107564 For me I think I fixed it (or massively improved it) by using a wifi band analyzer and just manually changing the bands in the router settings to the least congested regions. One tech told me the wifi signal was super weak by one of my boosters, but it's barely through a wall, the hub seems to have a really bad signal strength even close to it. So try changing the wifi channels and bandwitdhs, see if it helps. It drove me nuts.9.8KViews1like2Comments
