Frequent disconnections on NBN FTTC

This morning I'm finding that my NBN connection lasts a few minutes, disconnections, and comes back about 5 minutes later. The Wifi connection is fine. The DSL light on the FTTC NBN box goes out and comes back on so it is the NBN connection.

 

So the connection is not usable. I'm using my phone as a hot spot right now.

 

What can I do?

Hi Peter,

 
Thanks, I got the setup info you sent. However the equipment has been setup and working fine for about a week now and it does connect. Also, there are not other telecommunication devices connected in the house.
 
The issue is that the NBN device frequently (every frew minutes) disconnects. WIFI is stable.

Just to be clear ... I get a working connection for several minutes and it then drops out.

The problem has continued but not as frequent. Any thoughts?
