One way to find out if you have connection issues is to plug your pc into you modem via ethernet.... It may have something to do with your WiFi setup. Is your WiFi installed central in the house or one side/end? I had the same problem with my old modem/router when I first switched over to Telstra, kept dropping out all the time, changed over to the one Telstra supplied me and have had no issues since.
Is your WiFi 8.11g or n?

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

Well to confirm my problems. The app won't let me load up this post, bit its fine over the web...
Modem is a 11n and is showing good service.
I think its a program issue as I haven't moved from my seat to reply via the web. Its on my phone aswell. But no more than 2 mins ago I got told no cennection...
Got me stuffed..

Hi Kal,

It could be a number of things which I will list in order of likely to least likely:

1. If you can browse to some sites quickly but not others that generally rules out a connectivity issue BUT not a routing issue within your ISP. Who are you using and what's your external IP (you should see this as being assigned via DHCP on the modem)?
2. Wifi interference - depending on what other wireless devices you have around they could be causing some interference
3. DoS attack - you could be being hit by remote computers intermittently (but unlikely as you say some sites work fine)
4. MTU issue - what protocol are you using? PPPoE, PPPoA, bridged?
5. Can you connect another device vie Ethernet to the modem and see if the issue happens?
6. If at 5 you're PC or laptop is fine but the wifi connected devices still exhibit issues then we are at a Wifi issue
7. If a Wifi issue - then try setting up the modem to use 802.11b/g as opposed to .11n. Mobile devices can be finicky
8. If that doesn't work check your signal strength and connection on the device. Are you getting a good signal or a lot of loss?
9. Send me your external IP and I will do some diagnostics by tracing back to you from various internet hosts.

Let me know how this goes and I can then help some more.

Actually - try #6 first.....

Also - when it says no connection - is that in the browser, is it a Wifi message, the modem or something else?

Sorry mate, just seen your post. I'm at a down fall as our cp is over the WiFi aswell so were a bit restricted with what we can do. Do I have to drag the cp to the telephone line for further testing??? but so far the cp hasn't show the same signs as the mobiles..

Ill sit down tonight, our plans just got canned so ill bring the cp down, connect via cable and see what I can did up.

Hi mate - do you have an Ethernet cable? If so connect your PC straight into the modem. So you'll need either a long cable - but if you say you're PC is connected via Wifi to the modem and it doesn't have issues then I would be leaning to an issue with your mobile devices. Try and set the modem to 802.11g if you can?
