Receiving constant dropouts.

Router has been factory reset - this issue occurs on all devices, and looks to be potentially related to the NBN HFC box.

Please investigate asap.

 

Logs from the router as below showing PPP down.

Hey @antlorrigan,

 

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

• Easy Steps to Improve Wi-Fi Connection In Your Home

• Wireless Channel on your modem - what is it and why should I change it

 

But this particular case it looks like the issue is either on the modem/router or the network itself, please send me a Private Message with your account details (Username/Customer ID together with the address on file).

 

To send a PM, please refer to this link: How do I private message (PM) in the community

Hi,

I am sad to learn that have decided to switch to a different provider, we responded to your initial message and awaiting response.To proceed with the cancellation, reply to my PM with your best contact number and preferred time, we'll have our Account Specialists call you to discuss details of service termination.

Regards,
