5 second ‘disconnect’ after 10pm?


Recommended Posts

Hi all. I actually posted this on the Plusnet forums thinking it was a line issue although the responses I received suggest it could be a router issue. The only thing they would think would be happening is a line resync but the disconnect from the internet would be much longer than a few seconds.
 

Below is a copy and paste from that forum. 
 

Has anyone experienced such an issue?
 

Hi all,

Long-term user of Plusnet due to the reliability of their connection. I game each night, always online, so a resilient network is critical to me, however over the past few weeks, very late into the night, my connection will drop for a second or so, enough to kick me from whatever game I may be in, so it's starting to grate on me somewhat. Wednesday  it was 11:25pm, kicked from an online fps game i was in, also the PSN party, this also happened to another console in the house. Last night 10:26pm kicked from a fifa online game  

 

Has anyone else experienced this? I know it's the internet as I have my PC open simultaneously, and the ability to access websites isn't possible. I do nothing to restore the connection; it's so quick I would only notice if I were in an online game.I

So the connection re-establishes itself automatically without a reboot or anything like that? If you haven't rebooted since the disconnect could you grab the log file from the System Information page on the router and post it here, that should give us an indication of what is happening. What router is it you're using?

Hi mate, yes correct, no reboot required, but downtime is enough to upset any online game I'd be in.

Unfortunately, I was away for the weekend, so the log file won't be of much use now; when it happens again I will download and post up.

OK not to worry, thanks for letting us know. We'll stand-by until you've got the logs!

I hadn't been gaming much of late but it finally happened again tonight. Log attached, it happened at 23:56 to be exact,  can some examine what would happen on the duma to make me DC from the online match I was in?

Thanks for this, there's clearly something going wrong in the logs. I've passed these over to the developers to debug, we'll get back to you when we've heard back.

I used to get this sort of issue when Openreach was doing local maintenance. Always seemed to be late in the evening at about the same time.

Surely the time disconnected would be longer than a few seconds if they were messing with the connection? The router would need to resync which could take minues?

In LAN Setting, set the DHCP range to start at .50, then assign reserved IP addresses to devices between .2 & .49 so they're out of the DHCP range, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes and see if that stops the disconnects.

Thanks. I have done this now, the only thing that isn't working, and the one thing I need is the PS5! For some reason it won't pickup an IP address, I either have to manually input on the PS5 or connect to the WIFI. Any idea why? It just appears to my PS5 strangely. I have 2 other PS4s and another PS5 in the household and they are fine connecting with a reserved IP.

I did factory reset my XR1000, is it caching something? The only different setting within the OS is that the PS5 is prioritised in QOS, its setup exactly the same way as the other console and connected to the same switch.

Just to clarify the PS5 does have a reserved IP on the router but the console won't pick it up? Make sure the PS5 is set to automatic network settings, then give it a reboot, does it then pick up the address?

Hello, this is rearing it's ugly head once again, now random times during the day. I was in an online EAFC game and got kicked from the servers, here is the log around the time

There isn't too much there to indicate why you would have received a disconnect. Has anything in your setup or settings changed recently?

Nothing. The kids have even disconnected from Fortnite a few times over the past few weeks, same with me on COD/EAFC.

Bizarre, the only thing I can see which is strange is one device being assigned the same IP over and over again prior to the disconnect. .54 which device is using that IP?

I've given up assigning IPs out now, nothing but trouble for such a simple task for a router.

 

Any sign of this new firmware? It feels like its been years in the making...
