VX220-G2v Wifi Issue

[RichoMan]

I've tried suggestions as per the articles regarding changing channel settings etc... but still getting random wifi disconnections while other devices stays connected.

I think it's time to ditch and replace the TPG provided modem to save myself further frustrations.

Hi @RichoMan ,

If you have tweaked the wireless settings, you can perform a factory reset on the modem.

Our supplied modem will perform auto-configure for 3-5 minutes. Although all the settings that you changed will go back to factory default settings, including the Wi-Fi network name and password,

Let us know how it will goes.

Hi @Anonymous 

Worth giving it a go and hopefully it does the trick. Let's see what happens.

Otherwise I may just go back to my old Archer VR1600v modem until I find a reliable replacement.

Thanks.

Sure! Hopefully it will help to improve the connection of the Wireless devices

Hi @Anonymous 

Connection has been stable since the modem reset. But then again, it worked like a charm for the first few days when I got it last week then it started playing up. I'll keep an eye for the next few days and let you know how it goes.

Thanks.

I have the exact same issue everyone else is experiencing. My Archer 1600 was fine.

I have to change a 5ghz setting like band to get internet working on 5ghz again. The SSID is connectable but no internet. Signal strength is fine and I'm next to the router.

I called TPG to report this as it is a brand new router that you made me go onto a 6 month contract and pay $10 for but I am going to have to go back to the Archer until I purchase myself a router that works properly.

The agent on the phone said they didn't know about this and would escalate. I advised this has been happening for years to other people. Same exact issue and they were forced to go back to old archer or new router.

I have collated all the posts i could find and the issue has been happening since at least 2022:

I've the same problem, and have had the issue for a year.

I escalated the issue to TPG support but to be honest they were not much help.

Tried switching off band steering and using separate channels for 5/2.4 ghz but found this made the issue worse.

I've given up and was thinking of switching from TPG but have purchased a different router from amazon.

TPG really should acknowledge this issue and consider using different hardware.

I am having the same issue - neither wifi nor Ethernet are allowing connection to internet - still connecting to the router but no internet . Extremely annoying , been at it for hours now . Only one out of 8 devices is connecting ( that is a wireless device) the 3 Ethernet devices will not reconnect.
