My internet connection keeps dropping off due ppp3 error. After restarting the modem, the connection comes back up and then it disconects again. Here's the error log from TP Link Archer VR1600v:

Hi @hasan,

 

Thanks for raising this with us.

 

We've run some test and was not able to detect any fault within the network.

 

We'd like to look into it to understand the nature of the problem.

 

Please shoot me a private message with your preferred time and best number to be contacted for us to arrange a call from our Tech team.

 

Kind regards,

BasilDV

Hey @hasan it appears that your EWAN link is also dropping out, this may be the reason why the PPP session is dropping due to long wait for PADO packets to receive.

this is the ethernet cable between NBN arris and TPG  link modem.

 

you may want to try a different ethernet cable

if the cable is not the problem you may also check the power adapter of your modem, some feature will act up if you're not using the supplied adapter.

Hi @legcat, I am using the power adapter that came with the modem. I will try a different Ethernet cable and see how it works. Cheers.
