Hi @Riezl 

 

I have been searching around all afternoon to work out how to upgrade the firmware. Mine is the same as the OP with the same version. 

 

I am finding that occasionally (frequency once or twice per night) my internet will just drop out for 20secs or so and reconnect automatically. It tends not to do it during the day as I work from home but I thought there would be no harm in updating firmware while I troubleshoot the cause.

Hi @kbryant83 ,

 

Thanks for sending me your details. I was able to locate the account using the given details and ran an initial test. The result shows dropouts on the modem/router's connection to our network.

 

Aside from the firmware upgrade, please confirm your best contact number and preferred time tomorrow. We'll have one of our Technicians to contact you tomorrow for real-time test and investigation.

Hi @Shane @Riezl ,  I tried to PM but send message is disabled.

 

Please check that I have the latest firmware. My connection drops a few times a day, and is often VERY slow (eg. when it rains).

Hi @thefon , please note that your modem has the latest firmware. We have checked the status of your connection and it shows stable at the moment. We have seen a network improvement in your area yesterday, which possibly the reason why you've experienced the issue. If it persists, please let us know so we can check further. Thank you.
