Hello,
Hoping someone can assist here, I recently purchased a new TP-Link VR2800 to try instead of my Sky Broadband Hub (SR203). I was looking to improve Wi-Fi and see if the additional features via the VR2800 would suit me better on my VDSL2 line.
However since having the router setup (which was easy to do with the built in Sky/MER setup), and despite the router being powered on and connected for a week, I am seeing a slow decline in downstream connections with the router disconnecting 5 out of the 7 nights between 1-2am which I assume is DLM.
Initially the stats were 43999/19999 which was same as Sky router (was stuck on a 44/20 profile), but overnight it disconnects and stats reduce, first was down to 39999/19999 and then Thursday down to 34999/19999. It disconnected Fri night and again last night according to logs but remained at the 35/20 speeds.
Logs on the TP-Link show the following for when the disconnect takes place - "DSL Link Down, remote disconnect detected" before then showing it reconnect at the lower speed.

Not sure if anyone can help or suggest anything with the TP-Link router? The errors I am not sure if normal for 9hrs, I assume I am now on a 35/20 type profile and so one option might be to plug the sky router back in and contact them as my min guaranteed speed is 37mb (but 42mb-62mb listed as achievable). But wanted to check there wasn't something in the settings i could look at? (e.g. Bit Swap, SRA etc).
TP-Link support suggest to a) watch the LED lights
and b) to put the latest stable firmware as the one on it - despite being downloaded from their website as the latest - is only a beta apparently so they suggest the previous firmware. I have that firmware on it now and will see how it goes.
Thanks
