FTTC tg582n disconnects but DSL stays connected
Quote from: Matt We're seeing the occasional drop but it doesn't look like anything major, unless it's disrupting the service for you and/or causing the line speed to drop:
Ooh, very nice.
I'm assuming those are radius sessions, they appear to be showing the disconnect-reconnect as instantaneous, which might be misleading if the session doesn't actually end when the connection drops but instead drops before the creation of a new one...
I had an idea that it was worse than that; perhaps there's something else going on that causes the wifi to drop out that's making the problem seem worse than it is; my memory of the number of times I've rebooted the router must be skewed, I thought it was a couple more times.
To be honest it wouldn't bother me so much if it reconnected faster - twice (Friday and Monday) it's interrupted our online poker game (we generally play early-evening) which is frustrating, to say the least, and a 10 minute cycle is enough to make a significant difference if it's at the wrong time.
Interestingly for today's 9am disconnect I tried just rebooting the tg582n and leaving the openreach but that didn't fix the problem, which does leave me doubting my original diagnosis - only when I reboot _both_ boxes does it come back up.
I'm interested that it went offline last night (2am), I didn't power off the router that time, which implies that it does eventually recover. Is there a setting I can modify to do with the way it attempts to reconnect?
Something else interesting is that the reboots seem related to when units come online or offline - I was up late last night and 2am would be fairly soon after I shut down my laptop, while the Mrs' machine would have come on around 9am.
Thanks for the response!
