Hello @tinnguyen299
Do you have a Fiber or DSL connection?
Dies both WiFi and wired internet disconnect so a red globe on the Zyxel or do you have another modem?
Hi @Waqqas ,
I have a DSL connection and a Huawei modem.
The wifi connection to the modem works fine. Only the Internet is so unstable, disconnects so many times.
@tinnguyen299
So what about the wired connection? Does it disconnect? And if not is it stable with a good speed?
Could you also share a picture of how the modem is connected to the ISRA. Ideal is to connect the modem to the main ISRA where the KPN cable is also connected.
Hi @Waqqas ,
I think I’m lost in your words. Sorry that so many things you say I don’t understand.
Basically, the setup is:
phone wall socket ----- Huawei socket --- wifi extender --- computers
I do not use wired connection. During the interruption of Internet, I can still access to the model (192.168.1.1), via wifi connection, to check internet status and confirm that it is disconnected from the Internet.
Hope this is clear to you.
@tinnguyen299
So the modem is connected to a wall socket?
Could you open that wall socket and place a picture of the wiring inside so we can check if there's a bridge tap?
And it's a wall socket with 4 holes for a telephone adapter right?
Also check the WiFi of the Huawei modem with the extender removed, maybe these 2 are not functioning good with each other.
@Waqqas
I forgot to mention, the wifi extender is wire-connected to the Huawei modem. I do not turn on wifi from the modem. And I had similar issue before using the extender.
Below are the photos that you asked for. Let me know if they are good for you to look at.
@tinnguyen299
It looks like there are more than 2 wires connected.
There should only be 2 wires connected above next to "R", one left and one right. All other wires can be removed.
@Waqqas Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll try it when the interruption happens again. (Somehow, it’s not so frequently interrupted at the moment … weird)
Hi @tinnguyen299, great to see that solutions have been offered, fantastic teamwork!
Did Waqqas’ tips help?
Hi @Jason, thanks for asking. Somehow, the internet has been stable for the last few days (only 1 disconnection so far). So, I put the fix on hold. If the problem is back, I’ll try Waqqas’ suggestion.
FYI, here is the timeline of what was happening:
- Internet got interrupted now and then. It was becoming worse.
- I reset the modem and experienced even more frequent interruption, so I posted the problem here
- After 1 or 2 hours, somehow the internet became stable, meaning almost no interruption (until now)
Hi @tinnguyen299, thanks so much for clearing that up and presenting a view on the timeline, that really helps!
Glad to hear the issue seems to have been solved, at least for now. Should any disconnections, on a larger scale, reappear, please notify us immediately. We'd be happy to help!
For now: enjoy your connection and please stay safe!
Thanks for your kind words @Jason.
Stay safe and healthy!
You're very welcome @tinnguyen299! Thanks so much for your kind words as well, means a lot! ♂️
