Fixing TalkTalk error yvm102 in easy steps
If you are experiencing talktalk error yvm102, it is due to a lost connection with the router. You can try the following steps to fix it:
Step 1: Checking your connection
The first troubleshooting step is always to check your connection. If there are any issues with the connection, you may need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Step 2: Checking if your box is connected to the internet
TalkTalk requires a stable connection between your box and the internet. If the connection is experiencing issues, the box will not be able to work. Do the following to make sure that the box is working:
1- Acess the Main Menu
2- Go to Settings
3- Choose Broadband Connection
4- If the prompt says ‘not connected’, then simply click Edit Connection and choose Auto Connect.
Step 3: Checking if all of your cables are plugged
The issue may also be caused due to a hardware error. Check if the box is connected to the router by making sure that the ethernet cable is connected in the correct port. The cable might be a little old and may cause disruption with your connection. You can also try disconnecting and reconnecting to see if it solves the problem.
Secondly, check your powerline adapters. There should be two powerline adapters. One is with the YouView box while the other is connected to the router. Check both adapters and ensure that they are plugged correctly in the power socket.
Step 4: Restarting your router
Sometimes restarting your router solves the problem. Unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back. In a minute or two, you will see if you have reconnected or not. If you are using powerline adapters, switch both of them off for 30 seconds. Here’s what you can do if your router does not connect.
Step 5: Restarting the box
Switch off your box by pressing and holding the power button for around 8 seconds. A ‘hello’ prompt would appear on the screen once the box has restarted.
Step 6: Contacting Support
If the steps outlined above do not fix the yvm102 error, you can contact TalkTalk’s support through email or by calling on their phone number. You can also look for a solution in their community section.
