Getting BT Broadband dropouts

[dspit1664]

Today I’ve seen multiple what seems like BB dropouts.

i work from home and was busy working all of a sudden started getting issues. 

Checked ‘tether’ app and it indicated my laptop to router was fine but router to internet disconnected. 

As this was during work work day I needed to get back online quickly so I restarted the router. This worked but had similar issue 3 further times. Seems to be ok now but concerned how might I debut this ?

my new modem router is - Tp-Link VR900 1900 

connection type is ADSL+2

I’ve had a look at the system logs but don’t know what I’m looking for as don’t see anything obvious.

thanks in advance for any help.

Hi @dspit1664 

Thanks for your post and welcome back!

Sorry for the broadband drop outs you've experiencing recently.  How are things with your connection now?  Post back and I am sure one of the members will give you a hand.

Cheers,

Robbie

When you say connection stats do you mean router logs ?

Seemed ok but yesterday afternoon went down - by that mean router lights indicated all good (wifi/ internet) but tether app said no internet. Reflected by my work laptop disconnecting. If at all important I need to use multiple VPN’s to connect to different segments of my work too.

To add to this all my logs on the TP-Link are of type `Notice` I do not see any of types `Error` `Critical` `Alert` `Warning`.

Question is : Is this an issue with the TP-Link ADS Modem Router or my Broadband connection ?

Thanks for help looking forward for some assistance on this issue

Hope that provides info which could help me

Long shot but try logging into your bt account page and disable Web Protect.  I had connection issues, drop outs, lag on xbox gaming, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Facebook, twitter.  All fixed after disabling Web Protect service.    Try this and mark as solution if it works
