Constant dropout / Archer firmware

[magoo]

Hi,

Having issues with constant dropouts. Maybe 20 already this morning.

System log shows

ppp1 Peer not responding
ppp1 LCP down
ppp1 sent [LCP TermReq id=0x3 "Peer not responding"]

Eventually reconnects.

Firmware might need updating. Can you confirm latest release?
Thanks,

[magoo]

Now like ~40 dropouts now this morning alone

Hi @magoo, 

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:
