Speedport Smart 2 needs to be rebooted several times a day

vor 6 Jahren

Forgive this being in English, I am visiting and am helping with an internet issue. Feel free to answer in German.

 

The router has only been installed about 6 months after a network upgrade (VDSL from ADSL I assume).

 

I've noticed the internet go down once ot twice a day and only a router reboot will bring it back. The firmware is 050136.3.5.002.0 which it tells me is the most recent.

 

This feels to me like a firmware issue as the software should be able to recover from the internet dropping.

 

Any ideas?

    @noanders: Is it a vectoring connection? What is the DSL speed? Please open this page:

     

    http://speedport.ip/html/login/status.html

     

    and show us a screenshot of the page. Are Powerline Devices used?

     

    Regards Ulrich

    OK, URL saved and will use it to report the issue (will tether to my phone) when the issue next occurs.

     

    The SSID was not seen before the reboot. Before I'd been logging on via Wifi and rebooting the router, this last time I cycled the power as I couldn't connect.

     

    Thanks for your assistance...

    Hi @noanders,

    did the problem occur again? Does it only concern the wifi or do you see DSL disconects in the log data, too? Or does the Speedport hang up completely?

    If it is related to the customer ID you noted in your profie data, it is a DSL 16000 RAM IP connection. So we don't have to bother about VDSL.

    Kind regards, Inga Kristina J.

    The router was purchased September 2018 from the local Telekom shop so will be still under warranty I think.

    I've spoken to Telekom a couple of times and they are trying a few more things but I too believe the next step will be a router swap. I guess the logistics of who needs to send the replacement will become clear over the next day or two.

    It failed again so please let's go for a swap of the router as discussed with your tech earlier this evening.

    If all that's required is a physical swap then I can do that. Just let me know.

    Hi @noanders,

    okay, I'll send you another Speedport Smart 2 in exchange. Then we will see if the router is the reason for the problems.

    Kind regards Inga Kristina J.

    OK, thanks. Also I found the logs on the router and have filtered the ones I think are relevant. Let me know if additional lines are required.

    Hi @noanders,

    thank you for the log.
    We have checked your dsl-connection and it seems fine.
    So the new Router should be the solution.

    Kind Regards

    Es könnte durchaus sein, daß auf Telekomseite ein Bauteil etwas "altersschwach" ist, und daß dadurch die PPPoE-Session abbricht.

    Hi @noanders,

    I'd like to send a technician to you to check your line's port.

    Unfortunately, I couldn't reach anyone on the phone for an appointment, when can we have a short call about that?

    Kind regards,
    Anna Si.

    I guess the line had failed again when you tried. Just try again, it's ok at the moment.

    I think maybe it's time to pass this fault to your tier 3 support teams. The account holder is very old with health issues and when this problem occurs her telephone doesn't work. This will not be easy to fix but does need fixing.

    Hello @noanders,

    according to our specialist support, a new firmware update for the current router must be awaited here.

    The other alternative is a new router, another type.

    Kind regards,

    Please bear with me, the account holder cannot swap the router and return the old one. We are trying to find someone who can help but so far without success.

    Hello @noanders,

    I understand that the health situation of the owner does not allow this.

    Unfortunately, we only have these two options from here, which I have already shared with you.
    I can only help you with one of these ways.

    Kind regards,

    Anja N.
