I mean, this has been happening to me for a bit:
I think it's a Google Nest wifi thing? I've been in touch with them for a while now but no conclusions yet. If I had another router lying around I would've been able to find out if this was a Google problem or an Orcon problem. A couple months ago I asked Orcon if I could switch from the nf18acv to Nest wifi and they agreed.
@Woofjeb which router are you using - is it the same Nest as above?

This looks like a screen-grab from a SamKnows Dashboard. If so, be aware that Samknows have acknowledged to me that the whitebox monitoring of connection status - as shown here - is known to be unreliable. My dashboard reported huge levels of disconnections (in the range of 100-500 per day) when I changed RSPs, for about a week. No service interruptions where apparent - we noticed no problems with internet usage during this time so I contacted Samknows prior to raising this issue with my new RSP. They reported back to me that the reliability of disconnect reporting is being evaluated. A few days later reported disconnects dropped to less than 15 per day.

St1ick: Oh damn really? Sometimes I can actually notice an outage where the internet stops working for a few seconds but I didn't actually notice this many. Thanks for explaining that to me.
But I do have another problem. My speeds are usually around 230-280 download and 60-100 upload. If I reset my nest router, my speeds jump back up to 300+ and 100+ for a few days and then they eventually go back down. Any help?
Hi, how is that measured, via ethernet or WiFi, if its the latter, then anything is fair game, if its ethernet, then its a bit odd, what router are you using?

Is this happening on all machines in your network? If you only see this on your PC, any chance you could create a Live boot (Create a bootable USB stick with Rufus on Windows | Ubuntu) and test with Linux on the same PC (or another machine)?
