I'll answer your questions below:   >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.   My ethernet connected devices are fine, its the Wifi that is not working correctly   >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.   The router is in the same place (and so are my devices) as they have been since I got the router a few years back.    The 2.4 Wifi works fine, the 5G is the one that comes and goes. Yesterday evening nothing could see it, this morning it was visible etc.    >3. Dropouts caused by ongoing outage in your area.    >Have you tried performing a factory reset to them? This can be done by pushing the reset hole at the back panel of the modem.    Ive pushed the resent hole button. It makes a lovely solid clicking noise. But... nothing happens.

I expect mine is out of warranty now, but it wasnt when it started to drop out. ... View more
