Hi,

 

For the last couple of weeks my internet connection keeps dropping for about 20 times a day. Both LAN and wifi gets affected. It happens through all day and night. I haven't  had any such issues before, and I am in the same address with TPG for the last 7 years or so. The random nature of connection drop off is affecting my work badly. 

 

Looking forward for help please.

Hi @ahsan161 ,

 

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:
