Hi.

 

I've been having problems every few weeks with my Broadband connection with the only fix being power cycle the router. No-one from your support organization can tell me why .

 

Can you please update the firmware on my router please. DG8041W - currently v1.06t 

 

Thanks

Robin

Hi robcuk1,

 

Thanks for the information. The disconnection isn't showing at our end but this may just be that the system hasn't updated yet. Did the light change on your router when the connection dropped?

Just had another outage -  this time lasted about 2mins and did not need to reboot the router.

 

Between 15:15 and 15:20

Line test is passing. I can see back to the 12th, there are no disconnections showing in that time. Do you think it could have been further back than that when it last disconnected?

A couple of weeks back now it was last experienced. I need to know a method of looking at the router to see what's occuring. I cannot seem to find any log information on the DSL connection. The router compared to others I have used appears very lacking in detailed historical connection information.

OK thanks. When was the last time that you experienced the problem?

I'm not sure to be honest. It's not a very clear & bright light compared with some router devices.

Thanks for the info Robin, does the light change on the router when the connection stops working?

Hi Chris,

 

Every few weeks the Internet connection suddenly without warning stops working. I work from home using a wired connection. Neither wired or wireless internet connectivity works when this incident occurs.

 

It has nothing to do with my VPN because once the connectivity is lost, I troubleshoot the problem with wired connections (without any VPN) directly on the router and still no connectivity. Only way I have ever managed to clear the fault is by power recycling the router each time. I thought there was a later firmware available and was hoping that might help matters. All support chat calls have failed to identify anything wrong. 


Happens probably once every 4 weeks and of course at the most awkward of times?  It's quite annoying to not see any log evidence of the issue happening on the router & therefore be able to point you guys to a solution. There must be logging evidence of the interruption to the service but so far no support chat has helped matters whatsoever.
