WiFi Dropping Out

[CycloneSteve]

WiFi connection to our devices (laptops, mobile phones etc) drops out 2-3 times a day at a minimum. The computer to which the modem is connected via Ethernet still maintains a connection to the internet, however our wifi devices report a "Connected but no Internet" error. As I said this is happening frequently.

Can anyone offer a suggestion as to what is happening and how we can stop the WiFi from dropping out on a regular basis?

Thanks!

Hi @CycloneSteve,

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:
