Constant drop out, very over it

My internet is constantly dropping in and out, over 10 times a day, I work from home and study and I haven’t been able to do either as I rely on my internet, my bill is paid and I upgraded recently to avoid this but it’s still happening. I’m very over this it’s becoming a little bit of a joke to be paying for something that cannot be used, a movie can’t even be watched without it cutting out throughout.

Hi @gwilson28

 

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:
