Broadband keeps dropping out

Recently my broadband keeps dropping out, then re-connecting. I am not using the sky provided hub as I have been with sky for so long that the hub I had was just so old. I am using a TP-Link Archer VR600.

I was able to get into the router and get these details:Screenshot 2024-04-23 172450.png

Also even whenn I am connected I am not getting the 63Mbps speed prmoised, I'm only getting:

Any help or ideas would be appreciated, or maybe I just need to ring up and get an enginner out?

 

Many Thanks

Nick

High noise margin and a load of errors on downstream.  Definitely looks like a bad fault but sky does need you to use their hub to diagnose the fault

As @cookiemonsteruk  has said you have a line fault, however Sky likely wont book you an engineer until you plug the Sky hub back in so their tools can identify it

Re: Broadband keeps dropping out

Many thanks for the swift replies, I really appreciate the help, I have plugged old hub back in and these are the statistics:

Does this still show that the probelm is on the line? And if so how do I go about booking an engineer?

Many Thanks

Just moderated the image which shows a dire line fault made worse by using the obsolete sky sr102 router

 

However both routers do pretty much say the same

Your line attenuations suggest you should get 80Mbps whilst the ds noise margins are off the chart . Internal or external sky should book an engineer for you
