On a PC wired to the Netduma could you download ping plotter and run it. Then can you screen shot the relavent part of the graph when the connection goes down? :)

 

You could also try switching the Etnernet cable that connects the Netduma and Home Hub.

Do I have to wait for the connection to cut out because it hasn't done it now for about 30 mins but I still can't join a game online.

Well you can leave it running untill the internet cuts.

 

But about not being able to join games, can you join them with the GeoFilter disabled?

No I have the Geo filter disabled

So the button says 'Enable'?

 

If you connect your console directly to BT router can you find games. And is this a recent thing with the drop outs and not finding games?

Yes the button says enable ... plus its been an issue for about a month now just not had the time to game so only just found out I cant join games but the drop out has been happening for about a month.  I first noticed when watching netfilx and trying to play Clash on Clans on my phone.

Since I have restarted the router I haven't had a drop out but this is normally the case then a couple of days later it will start playing up again (sometimes it will do it again straight away though).

Do you have another Ethernet cable to swap out between your modem and the Netduma ? to rule out a faulty cable

The I am using is the one you sent me ... I have a spare one somewhere Ill change this today and get back to you but when the drop out happens It makes my Home Hub 5 drop out, the home hub 5 flashes orange for a couple of mins and then comes back online.

Ok, so it is your other router too then. That sounds more like an issue with the Home Hub. Is it the Home Hub 5? If it is then I had this issue too and have used the Home Hub 4 since.

I don't have the home hub 4 any more, I might be able to pick one up from somewhere but If I take the Netduma out of the link the issue seems to go away.

I didn't really try and fix it when I had my issue, I just switched to the HH4 and that sorted it out. Do you have a modem, if you do can you connect the Netduma directly to that?

 

And can you confirm that the issue definitely goes when the Netduma isn't connected. Have you tried switching out the ethernet?
