Disconnects at night

I seem to be having disconnects at about 22:45 at night, it last a couple of minutes and unfortunately it's when I'm upstairs when i can't  see the router except one time when I  saw the router and both the internet and DSL light were green.  I haven't noticed any disconnections in the day and thought it was wireless until I noticed my computer dropped connection a sell and that is connected using an Ethernet connection

Re: Disconnects at night

Can you post your router stats please?

Re: Disconnects at night

Hi,
This does not tell us too much - the synch rate is dammed good for your line.  Unfortunately these stats do not show error counts or connected duration.  Sadly when it comes to diagnostics many routers are quite inferior to the PN supplied TG router in that regard.
You really need to see what these stats look like late at night, particularly does the DS margin approach zero?  If it does, that might be indicative of local interference.
Is the disconnection a frequent occurrence?  Is it actually causing you a problem?  Disconnections can happen from time to time fior no untoward reason.  Unless this is happening frequently I would not worry about it.
A radius graph from DCT when they return on Tuesday would be useful to see how frequently you are disconnecting.
