Frequent Disconnects for a long time

Hi TPG,

 

My FTTB connection has had frequent disconnects/dropouts for many months now. Everytime my browser redirects me to the Huawei Gateway page where I have to login with the admin details again. (Then it takes about 2-3 minutes to reconnect or not at all). At first it was only happening occasionally, maybe once a week but now it happens up to multiple times in the same day. I've tried doing a factory reset on the modem multiple times. This fixes it temporarily but the problem keeps coming back a few days later.

Hi @rchen112 ,

 

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:
