Hi,
I have a FTTB connection.
My 5GHz band keeps dropping out lately. I would like to know whether the hardware and firmware on my device are the latest.
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 0.9.1 v5006.0 Build 200826 Rel.77218n
Hardware Version: Archer VR1600v v1 00000000
Cheers
Hi @_jb ,
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:
