This one has me stumped.

 

About 2 months ago I moved to a new house in Morrinsville and the internet runs on VDSL.  No problems there.

 

About a week after I moved in both the WiFi routers stopped working  saying no internet connection.  After various reboots  nothing so left it over nite and next morning all was good again though I did turn the Spark WiFi off on their router and just used the TP Link

 

To day it did it again.  The 6 year old TP Link in the lounge  kept saying no internet.  This unit runs  via Ethernet  over power.  Took the TP Link into the office and connected directly.  After a few minutes the same thing. 

 

Turn it off and turned on WiFi in the HG630B.  After about 10 minutes the same thing.  Power off and on the HG unit and all seemed to be well , speed test was 30Meg  but after about 10 minutes it had dropped to near zero and Speedtest app on my phone now says "Network communications Issue"

 

This has got me completely  wacked.    It's almost like there is something else interfering with it but looking at a WiFi analyzer app it only shows my router and some of the neighbors  on  low strength and different channels. It shows my router at -28db

 

Any ideas would be welcome

 

Thanx in advance..

It's been  now over two months since this first happened.  After my last post it happened a week latter but this time I was able to analyze this better with my cell phone and noticed it was giving an error of  "Can't obtain IP address"  Checked out the Ethernet over Power units that the WiFi was connected to and noticed on one  of them  LEDs were not as bright as the other.  Turned off and on  and it took about 20 seconds to come back online.  The second power reset killed it.  RMAd it back to PBTech.  Installed the new ones when they arrived and now two months later no problems..  Bought a spare set as well just incase ..
