    Yes frequently happens to my router, WiFi dropping frequently, despite changing channels etc. And every few days router completely disconnects requiring a reboot.

    My eFibre modem would stop routing from Wi-fi to the internal network after a day or so. Wi-fi to internet was fine, wi-fi to LAN was not. I ended up disabling the QoS setup on the modem and it has been fine since.

    I'm having the same issue. Rebooting every day or two. I'm wondering is it related to e-vision. One time, everything seemed to drop apart from my e-vision.

    Having the same issue. Every 10 hours or so, the connection will drop. The F1000 router will have all the lights on the front, so the fault is not showing there. But every 10 hours like clockwork, the connection drops. I mostly connect my phone or tablet via Wifi, and I know that there's a problem because an exclamation mark will appear in the wifi symbol on my devices. 

    I have to knock it off and back on again in order for the router to re-connect to the internet. Having swapped from the NGB to eFibre, i'm already regretting the decision - the NGB was faultless, and steady - eFibre is all over the place speed wise, and this fault is another bad feather in the cap.

    I remember vaguely having to adjust DHCP lease times the first time I joined Eircom (pre NGB) when I was having a similar issue with disconnections. There doesn't seem to be an option to do this on the F1000 modem though.

    Alan - I'm gonna PM you my phone number also - could you check my line while your at it as well please?

    Happened again tonight about 21.40 WiFi dropped until I reboot router. Rang customer care this morning who changed router channel but that made no difference.

    its not just wifi ,its the whole connection.
    ashling on here checked my line said there was a fault,rang customer services as she suggested and they said keep an eye on it!
    Ashling mentioned that as there was indeed a fault on the line,a technican should be deployde to check it out.
    Customer services are keeping the technicians in the tea room.
    not a great service tbh.
    sky will be called in May  for fibre when contract finishes.

    WiFi gone again tonight, connected to router but no internet. Rang tech support today who upgraded the router firmware bit this was already done last month. Really getting annoyed with these twice daily drop outs!! Surely there is a cause and solution!

    Sorry to hear this GIMP

    If the new firmware does not prevent the connection loss please do let technical support know and they will make further suitable arrangements to work on a resolution to these issues.


    Thanks

    Hi gerrybbadd


     
    I've just run a few tests on your line and I cannot identify an issues which can be attributed to the wifi issues you're experiencing. There's no internal or external line faults located anywhere on the line itself. This will really need attention from eircoms technical support department as they will be able to look in to this much further. Technical suppoirt can be direct contacted on 1890260260 or via webchat here: www.eircom.ie/chatnow


    Thanks
    Al
