ADSL2+ connection dropping out all day

Hi

For the past few months my ADSL2+ connection with home phone has been dropping out and reconnecting at least 6 times a day on all devices. It drops out for around 5 minutes each time this happens.

As I live in Victoria and have been in lockdown working from home for many weeks it is very frustrating as I am always dropping out of meetings and losing work if not regularly saved.

I did not have this issue last year.

Can you please assist?

Hi @ejshort,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

There are different types of dropouts that you may experience:

 

1. Network dropouts, this dropout is caused by a line fault on TPG or NBN's network. Affecting all device(s) LAN/Wireless connected to the modem/router this may require a real-time test and investigation by our Technicians and Engineers.

 

2. Wireless dropouts, this issue only affects the device(s) connected via Wi-Fi which can easily be fix by doing adjustment to the modem/router's settings.

 

3. Dropouts caused by ongoing outage in your area. 

 

In the event that you experience dropouts via Wireless/Wi-Fi connection, we recommend having a read on the following articles:

 

• Troubleshooting a Slow Internet Connection
