We had a spike yesterday when a submersible pump tripped the main circuit (RCD) in the consumer unit.

Every thing came back up OK when reset ( including the LL phone) except the internet connection.
I have tried the following:-

1. Swapped out the ADSL router with a spare.
2. Swapped out the cable from BT wall socket to router with a spare
3. Swapped out the face plate (with integral filter) to the BT socket with a spare.
4. Tested set up with two different PC's and 2 laptops.

Any suggestions?

May well have effectively done this but disconnect router/modem from BT
socket for 30 mins or more and then retry. This apparently forces some
sort of reset at the exchange end .

So what happens lights wise on the router ? Do you get both the adsl and
internet lights up ?

If you dont get the internet light up, likely the isp has locked your
service out.

If the adsl light doesnt come up likely something broke behind the BT
socket
but thats very unlikely given that the LL still works. Usually if anything
the LL
doesnt work because there is no dc path anymore but adsl still works
because
it doesnt need a dc path. Its theoretically possible you could have killed
the
dslam port back in the exchange, but very unlikely.

A) The DSL light is showing steady green.

Call your ISP they should be able to ping your router/modem. If they can that will eliminate that side of things. Is this affecting the direct connection or just WiFi?

not, to the broadband and the connection speed.

Ethernet port failure in either the router or the PC is a possibility
too. Wifi tends not to be so affected. I had one go bad once that would
only work at it lowest 10M link speed after a storm direct hit.

see that when you use the router web interface as you

Ethernet port failure in either the router or the PC is a possibility too.

But eliminated by the router swap and using ore than one PC.
Tho it looks like he may not actually be using a wired ethernet
given that it is the one thing he didnt try swapping and you
would have expected that he would have done that too.

Get your ISP to run an automated test (you may even be able to do it
yourself from their web site). It might be you have a BB fault, and the
timing was just co-incidental with your mains trip.

You need several layers of connection from the router to get functional
broadband service.

First you need DSL sync, which it sounds like you have. The router will
report uplink and downlink speeds, line attenuation, and error rates etc.

Next you need a working PPPoA connection to the ISP - so basically
logged into your account with the correct username and password. Once
that is right you should have an IP address and access to a default
gateway. The router should be able to confirm all that.

Next you need working routing. So from a command line on your computer
you should be able to ping the ISPs default gateway, or something on the
wider internet. For example "ping 8.8.8.8" will check you can get a
response from Google's DNS servers.

Lastly you need working name resolution. So for example if the above
ping works, but ping www.google.com does not, then that suggests is
actually the name lookups that are not working.

I have never had to look them up with any router and
can look them up using my mobile if I ever need to.

Well can the devices see each other via the router or not?
I'd suspect that for some reason the bt line has an issue with the

Any suggestions?


You've not tried router into direct connection behind faceplate. All ISPs
will insist on this test.

We had a spike yesterday when a submersible pump tripped the main circuit (RCD) in the consumer unit.

Every thing came back up OK when reset ( including the LL phone) except the internet connection.
I have tried the following:-

1. Swapped out the ADSL router with a spare.
2. Swapped out the cable from BT wall socket to router with a spare
3. Swapped out the face plate (with integral filter) to the BT socket with a spare.
4. Tested set up with two different PC's and 2 laptops.

Any suggestions?

Spent a lot of time on it and it looks like the spike affected the 24 port switch so that anything going in and coming out of the switch was garbled. I have a new one coming tomorrow so keeping fingers crossed.
Thanks for all your help.

Ach! that is bad news. But switches are relatively cheap.

I take it that Stuff Worked going direct to the router then?
