wifi dropping out

[arjb]

All devices in my house are randomly dropping out (only started in the last week or so).

Restarting the router is the only consistent solution but we do not want to do that every few days.

Other solutions have occasionally included hard restarts.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi @arjb ,

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:
