Cannot connect to internet due to WAN IP address

TanveerAhmed — Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:46:42 GMT

Hello,

On Thursday the internet in my home stopped working, I initially assumed there was an internet service outrage due to poor weather and believed the issue would sort its self out within a few hours.

Since then the internet hasn’t been working. Ive tried taken the plugs out the router for an hour, restarted the router, etc but no fix. Online I saw that if you disconnect from the eero on your account and reconnect, the issue would be resolved but no such luck.

when I try to reconnect through the app, I get told the eero pro 6 cannot reach the internet and there is an exclamation mark next to WAN IP address.

i have called talktalk and used the online chat service and after being transfered multiple times in 2 hours, the representatives were unable to provide a solution.

It has been over two days since I’ve had internet now, which is really inconvenient as the family need it to do their university and Alevel assignments. This seems to be a common problem so I hope theres a solution to this

thanks

This sounds like an authentication problem. I have asked one of TalkTalk's support to pick your thread up and investigate it for you.

They aim to respond within 48 hours (Monday - Friday) excluding Bank Holidays, but if more urgent you can always try the Service Centre on 0345 172 0088. The posts are responded to in time/date order, oldest first.

Thanks. Was your Future Fibre service installed by City FIbre or Openreach?
