Moved NBN to new house- connection unstable very slow

patch
Level 2
I moved home with an existing account and set up at the new location, the connection is constantly doppping out and the speed is terrible. This is both with a Ethernet connection directly to the router and with WiFi, is this a NBN cable problem and do I need a technician? If so how do I get one? No one at TPG has been very interested in helping me with this over the phone.

Hi @patch ,

 

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:
