broadband slowing down the longer it stays connected.... disconnections and lot of errors

[deltafx]

so after many chats and calls got an engineer out all he did was charge port on cabinet all was ok for a day then it all started again brought new modem tp link 2800  no good still lots of errors and disconnections so tried my old  tp link w9980 I had tried it before but still couldn't hold connection  .. but this time its been stable for almost two days..

this is where you guys come in can I use w9980 as a modem and  the  ac2800 as a router if so how do I this any links to video would help thanks

First up, after "changing the port"/resetting your connection at the cabinet, you are probably going to be facing upto 10 days while the modem/router and cabinet form a stable relationship - just like when you first signed up.  So you may find that if you continue to use your VR2800 it will become increasingly reliable.  So you might still want to consider that.

According to some forums you should be able to set up the W9980 as a modem using the same technique as was used for the W9970 https://www.tp-link.com/uk/faq-1332.html - as I don't have one of these to hand I can't tell if this actually works though.  Failing that, you should be able to set up the VR2800 as an access point and disable the WiFi on the W9980.

Keep us updated, on what solution works, or at lest looks the most promising!
