Frequent disruptions to the connections with router turning on and off.

Any solutions to this?

Thanks.

I have had the same problem with Vodaphone router. It's super annoying.

I read this blogpost https://usefulvid.com/vodafone-station-wlan-probleme-geloest-2021-bilder-video/ which suggests 2 solutions.: (A) Get a different router (no from Vodaphone) or (B) disabled the 5GHz network.

I have disabled the 5GHz network (B) but it doesn't seem to improve.

Another solution that I tried in the past (not related to the blogpost), was to change the SSID (Wifi name). The logic behind that, was that if I was actually under a WANATTACK I won't get found. Not sure if it makes sense. It actually worked for a while (a few weeks) but I am not sure how optimal is to change the SSID name every once in a while.

I welcome other solutions. otherwise, I will start thinking about buying a new router.

Hello EngUserBayern,

the disconnections on your connection are identical in time to this log? Does this affect all appliances in the home? Are there no more dropouts when the firewall is inactive? Please answer the following questions.

Best regards Fred

Apologies for the VERY late reply. Just got time to come around to this.

the disconnections on your connection are identical in time to this log? Yes, that is correct.

Does this affect all appliances in the home? True again.

Are there no more dropouts when the firewall is inactive? I haven't tried this; is it safe to turn off the Firewall?!

Please answer the following questions. Answers sent as a Private Message.

Many Thanks.

...is it safe to turn off the Firewall?!

Only when you like Malware, Viruses, Spyware etc in your Net

Never ever switch off the FW. You will be vulnerable to any attacks from the WAN Net - all doors would be open - everybody could harm you.

A SPI Firewall allows only traffic what you are requesting - appliances, web etc. - and blocks anything going in what has been not requested by you. Basicaly requested LAN to WAN (internet) traffic goes through, Unsoliceted WAN trafic is blocked.

Many thanks for the help Tobias.

Can you please advise how to test the firmware?

Thanks,

@Tobias as you can see, that firmware update didn't help. I hope all I had to do was to restart the router, which was what I did...

Hello EngUserBavaria,

the line values are bad.

A technician should take a look at this on site. Would that be all right and will the colleague come with you to the house installation? The cause seems to be in our area of responsibility. In this case, the service is free of charge for you. If the technician does not meet anyone at the agreed time and cannot gain access, we will charge 99.50 € for the service.

Under which phone number can the colleague make an appointment with you?

Due to the current developments we have to take certain precautions. Therefore we need to know if there are any symptoms in your household that could be related to Covid-19. Of course we don't want to offend you, but on the other hand we don't want to endanger more people unnecessarily.

Greetings Moni

Hello EngUserBavaria,

unfortunately the PN does not answer all questions. What about the access to the house connection amplifier and the question about Covid?

Greetings Moni

Re: utopia: fw.lanattack drop

EngUserBayern — Sat, 24 Jul 2021 14:59:53 GMT

The access should be no problem.

There is no one in the household with Covid 19 symptoms. We shall nevertheless take necessary precautions in terms of wearing FFP2 facecoverings and maintain necessary distance when the technician visits.

Thank you.

Hello EngUserBavaria,

in the meantime the error is known. Therefore, the technician does not have to visit you for the time being. I have opened a ticket and you will be informed when the error is fixed.

After a respite we are at it again. Can't even access my wifi so posting this from my Telekom Phone. Is there no end to this...

Re: utopia: fw.lanattack drop

EngUserBayern — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 08:09:19 GMT

So received a text message saying everything is fixed. But, I have the very same problem. Very same router outage, very same Utopia DNS attack, very same Wi Fi attack through a spoofed mac address.

At this point, I am really worried whether it is even safe having this Vodafone connection.
