Get online support
I've been getting constant dropouts for three days now, and it seems to be more regular around peak time. I've never had any issues before.
All the lights are on, on my TP Link Archer VR400, until it disconnects, and then reconnectes a few minutes later, and this goes on and on and on.
It's really quite infuriating as I'm unable to run my D&D campaign for my friends. Does anyone know how to read router logs? I have no idea what I'm looking at.
Here's a sample of the logs from my router.

Hi @rchouse ,
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
For us to further assist you, please send us a private message with your TPG customer ID, username and complete address so we can pull up the account.
To send a PM, please refer to this link: How do I private message (PM) in the community

I've been getting constant dropouts for three days now, and it seems to be more regular around peak time. I've never had any issues before.
All the lights are on, on my TP Link Archer VR400, until it disconnects, and then reconnectes a few minutes later, and this goes on and on and on.
It's really quite infuriating as I'm unable to run my D&D campaign for my friends. Does anyone know how to read router logs? I have no idea what I'm looking at.
Here's a sample of the logs from my router.
