I've got an Tp Link Archer C9 (coupled to a Vigor 130 modem) and the only time I've ever had any problems connecting was when I changed my password for Plusnet. And that came about a month after I'd changed it. I had to disconnect the supply to both of them. Took a while to work out what was going on.
Have you powered both off and back on after waiting X number of minutes?

Hi @rogerclark10,
I'm sorry that your connection is down at the moment and for any inconvenience that this is causing you.
I have tested your line today and the results indicate a potential issue with the equipment connected to the phone line. Our tests show a loop on the line, which is basically a short circuit on the line. This could be a faulty piece of equipment or something breaking the loop such as something going through the line.
To rule out your equipment as the cause, we would like to see if the fault is still present with your equipment disconnected from the line.
Please contact us when all the phone sockets in the property are unplugged and if possible please remove the faceplate of the master socket which will disconnect the internal wiring. We can then retest your line and proceed with our investigation.

As i said all was fine until the plusnet email telling me they had altered my connection. They turned off interleaving they said.
@EmilyD that sounds a bit strange!. Changes to a Fibre connection wouldn't normally get notified to the customer would they ? Surely the DLM just does it's own thing behind the scenes.
Wouldn't notifications about removal of interleaving only be expected for an ADSL line ?

1. a new uncapped upload speed 2. potential problems caused by turning off interleaving which plusnet had asked the supplier to do.
That really does sound like changes to an ADSL connection rather than FTTC.
Is your HG612 unlocked ? Can you look at the DSL stats ?

I wonder if you have been mistakenly been put back onto ADSL? It might be interesting to set it up your modem for ADSL and see if it connects.

Im not sure that's possible unless the HG612 is unlocked . https://support.aa.net.uk/Router_-_EchoLife_HG612

I've done some digging into this, at least from what I can see and I'm sorry to see we've downgraded your service to standard broadband. Looks like that email you've received about interleaving was triggered upon completion of the downgrade.
Line tests aren't showing a loop/short circuit fault anymore so I'd imagine it was either a blip which was cleared with the act of unplugging things, or it was caused by your equipment setup for fibre when you're not receiving it at the moment.
As you've seen online via your account it says you're on a standard broadband connection, because it doesn't look like your account type was ever changed to fibre when you upgraded.
To resolve this we'd need to get your service upgraded to fibre and the best way to do that in my opinion is via the product change tool yourself as the online offers are generally the best. Alternatively feel free to send me a PM with a contact number and when you'll be free and I'd be happy to arrange for someone to call you back to arrange the re-upgrade.
Once you're up and running again I'd be happy to offer a gesture of goodwill for the hassle we've caused.
Hope this helps.

It just goes to show that you should not throw out old kit that still works (I have a Hub Zero in my junk cupboard somewhere). You never know when it could come in handy.
You have my sympathy, I can imagine how you feel about this situation! The important thing in my mind is not to shoot the messenger.
I think that the testing phase is over. Unlocking an HG612 is not hard. I assume that you have seen this https://kitz.co.uk/routers/hg612unlock.htm I used it with no problems some time ago.
