I have been experiencing regular dropouts, the connection was fairly reliable until about 2 months ago.

Is it time for a new modem? i have an archer 1600v.

Hi @jiroe,

 

We'd like to check if there's any underlying connection issue with your service that may be causing the drop outs. Have you perhaps tried doing a factory reset on the modem? 

 

Here are some factors for dropouts: 

 

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:

 

• Troubleshooting a Slow Internet Connection

• Easy Steps to Improve Wi-Fi Connection In Your Home

• Wireless Channel on your modem - what is it and why should I change it

 

Let us have your TPG account details (Customer ID/username) via private message in order for us to assist you further.

 

 

Thanks!

1. Network dropouts, this is what i am experiencing, can be multiple times a day, check NBN and TPG status pages, but have not found any reports.

 

I usually reboot the modem and the connection will come back.
