I am a recent joiner to plusnet. One of the first diffuclties I had was that at least once a day the router disconnected, and refused to reconnect to plusnet. Every time I could go and re-enter my password and reconnect manually. There are no problems with the connection while connected. I was previously on sky and had no problems of this sort. Plusnet sent me a new router, but the problem remains. The logs continue to show an authentication error after a disconnect. Is it normal for the router to not be capable of reconnecting on its own? Does it not store the password? This I find unaccepatble and would rather go back and pay etra to sky for proper econnection management.

Welcome to the forum.
It's not normal at all. It should reconnect without you having to re-enter your username or password.
A Plusnet staffer will no doubt be around tomorrow morning at the latest to look into this for you.

Hi there.
I'm sorry to see you're experiencing connection problems. Unfortunately it looks like your account didn't activate automatically following completion of your broadband order which is likely the cause for the issues you're experiencing.
I've activated your account now, can you factory reset your router by pushing a paperclip into the reset pinhole at the back for 20 seconds please? Once you've carried this out the issue should be resolved.
Let us know how it goes.

Hello,
Sorry to hijack the thread but figuired it was better than starting a new one! I am having exactly the same issue. I tried to contact plusnet support this morning but they seemed confused about the problem and ultimately couldn't help me...
I will try another agent later if needed, but @Gandalf is there any chance you could take a look at my account also for me please? I have the same problem as the OP and also I have noted that when I logon to my account, it says
"Your order is currently being processed.
See below for the next steps."
Even though I have been live with Plusnet for nearly 2 weeks
Many thanks if you are able to help!

Hi @Spud211
I'm sorry to see your account didn't activate automatically following completion of your broadband order and that you're having experiencing problems with getting online as a result. I've just activated your account now, can you factory reset your router using the pinhole at the back letting me know how it goes?
