Losing NBN connection but modem DSL & Internet lights stay lit

[furrysof]

Every two or three (at most, it seems) days I lose my internet connection.

The DSL & Internet "idiot" lights stay lit on the modem, but I have no internet.

I can ping the modem sucessfully from any ethernet or WiFi device (so that rules out it being a "WiFi Issue"), but can't ping anywhere beyond the modem.

I have to reboot the modem to restore the connection, end even then it can take from 5 to 10 minutes for the modem to complete it's handshake and "connect" to the NBN/Internet.

Please fix this ASAP !

Hi @furrysof 

I have checked your NBN-FTTN 12/1 service in our NBN portals and all tests are passing.

Your modem has also been up for almost 48hrs now.

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:

Thanks for the response.

The dropout "issue" is as I explained affecting both wired & wireless (WiFi) devices.

As you noted, my modem has been up for just over 48 hours because that's when I last had to reboot it to restore my internet connection. 

I've got an app that's fairly constantly checking my internet conection, and will log if/when/how long I lose internet connectivity.So, I'll be able to add to this post in the not too distant future, I fear....

Not sure if you can check on a 30 second outage ? But I did lose internet for 30 seconds yesterday morning.
