Re: Need help, with connection

Sorry to hear you're having issues with your connection.

We can see there are drops on the line but based on what you've said you're rebooting the router?

What happens when you try to get online? Do you get a particular error?

Hi, no message received just Not Connected, I go to Netgear through netgear genie to try and resolve the issue.

Re: Need help, with connection

Which lights on your router do you see go out or flash when the connection drops for you?

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: Need help, with connection

Morning @wattsy, thanks for getting back to us.

 

I've tested further this morning and still aren't detecting any kind of fault, and so we'll need to do some troubleshooting to start ruling things out.

 

I'd recommend starting with basic checks here.

And if that doesn't help the next thing would be to rule your internal wiring out by plugging the connection into your test socket which is under the faceplate of your master socket and seeing if the drops stop. This rules out internal wiring, face plates and extension sockets as being the cause.

 

How to locate the test socket and set your connection into it can be found here:

If the problem still persists from here please let us know.

Hi @wattsy,

 

Thank you for running through the troubleshooting checks, I'm sorry to hear that these haven't resolved the problem.

 

Testing your line still isn't picking up the cause of the problem:

However, the drops are showing as "user request" in the connection log which indicates that the issue could potentially be with the router. If possible, please can you try a different router and let us know whether this doesn't resolve the problem?
