Connection between Modem and Router dropping

[Agent47]

Hi. My Internet is going down constantly. I thought this was a supply problem at first. But the "Broadband" light on my modem is lit up constantly, with the "WAN" light going dark with a flashing orange light on my router before going to a light that flashes between orange and white, then finally solid white. Is this fixable? Or do I need new equipment? Maybe I'm thinking it's an equipment problem when it could still be a line problem. 

Regards

Tyler

Modem: Sagemcom F@ST 4370 UK

Hi Agent47

Thanks for your reply.

The router is on its way, please allow 48-72hrs for this to arrive.

Let us know how the connection compares with this router.

Thanks again.

Hi Tyler

Thanks for your reply.

I will send the router to the address linked to the telephone number in your Community Profile.

Is the correct landline number showing in your profile? (please do not post any personal information on this thread)

Thanks again.

Hi. Thanks for your reply! Yes, that would be great. Thank you. It definitely looks like a problem with the router and not the modem to me, so I think the replacement router is a good path. How would I go about sending you the required details?

Good morning,

I'm sorry to hear this and I will take a look now. I've run a test on the line which hasn't detected a fault, however I can see some re-connections on the line. Just to confirm, does it look like it's just the router that is losing the connection and not the Openreach modem? If so then we can send a replacement router for testing purposes to see how this compares.

Thanks

Michelle
