TD-W8961ND keeps dropping connection help please

[#1]

Do you think this may be causing the drops - reboots perhaps?
Similar problem here http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,104185.0.html
Edit: I was going to download a manual, to see if it said anything about it, but you may have one?

[#2]

I do not beleive I am getting any line drops, Jojo can you confirm this please?
Thanks
Dan.

The OP and the other thread were, good job you've asked Jojo to check for you.
Edit: Did you have a manual & anything in it?

[#4]

Looking good from here:

Thanks Matt, Just as I thought.
Be nice to know what the error messages mean though, something to look at on a rainy day

@Dan the Van
Perhaps, if you'd be kind enough to say whether there is anything in the manual that may be helpful.

[#7]

As @Anotherone says you'd need to check the manual as we wouldn't really know.

[#8]

I have checked through the manual/user guide nothing stands out as to what is causing the error events.
I have looked using google for the means/cause of the issues but have not got very far. Not even TP-Link would give me the reason.
If it is a wet weekend I might spend some more time looking at this.
If you are interested the user guide can be found here --> http://uk.tp-link.com/resources/software/201121711212519.pdf

Yes, thanks for that Dan, I'd contemplated having a look at that as soon as I had a bit of time  and more googling!

Hi People, tried to work from home today and using my old Netgear Router (which i have connected for a few weeks now) i had loads of problems, I was using a VPN into the office and both services via the VPN and directly on the Net were pretty much unusable.
Can someone give me a sensible view on what was going on today, I used two different PCs, one wireless, one wired, I rebooted the Router and it pretty much was useless irrespective of the configuration at my end, I even considered going back to the TD-W8961 but lost patience before that point. I am now considering switching to another supplier for my service.
Help please. Regards Gary

I'm really surprised that no-one from Plusnet has commented today, but they may well think you are still using the TP-link unless they've read the thread. If you can post some modem/router stats & say what package you are on, which model Netgear and firmware version it is, somebody who is more familiar with the Netgear may be able to offer some advice.

Hi garyk,
I've just ran some checks and all seems to be in order. Have you had any problems since?

Hi Jojo,
The TP-Linik ADSL routers allows for manual setting ffor MTU and MSS. Defaults being MTU 1480 and MSS 1400.
Does PN have any recommendations for these values? (I am aware of how to test MTU seeting)
The reason I ask is I noticed Gary has set his MTU to 1400 on his TP-Link device.
Dan.

The standard setting for MTU is 1500
