Giga Hub 2.0 – Repeated internet drops while hub shows fully connected (3rd replacement)

Hello Bell Community Team and users,

I am on 1.5 Gbps XGSPON service with a Giga Hub 2.0. This is my third replacement unit and I'm still having the same problem:

Issue:

  • Internet completely drops multiple times per day (no browsing, no streaming, devices lose connection).
  • The Giga Hub front display and web interface (192.168.2.1) continue to show "Connected / OK" with no error codes.
  • Only a hard power cycle (or GUI soft reset) restores service.
  • Happens on average every few hours.

Setup:

  • 3,500 sq ft home
  • High device count: 4 TVs (3× IPTV boxes + 1 Bell TV box), hardwired NVR + 4 external cameras, internal cameras, multiple coding workstations, IoT devices (Nest, Wyze, Ecobee, MyQ, Sonos, etc.)

What I’ve already tried:

  • Removed suspicious devices (e.g. old tv8580fcd02108)
  • MAC filtering + WiFi password changes
  • Manual channel locking
  • Full power cycles (power + fibre)
  • Multiple firmware states across replacements

Logs consistently show PPPoE recovery after UNKNOWN_ERROR, frequent channel changes, and the need for GUI resets.

Has anyone else experienced this on the Giga Hub 2.0 in 2026? Any success with advanced line diagnostics, firmware updates, or escalation to Bell engineers?

Thank you!

Can you log into the hub when this happens?

If so, perform a speed test from within the modem to ensure the modem is connected to the network.

Speed Test.  The 4000 speed test is the same as the 3000.
