Good Day Guys.

Im wondering if anybody could assist me in trouble shooting the following issue.

I have recently moved homes and moved from Telkom to a company called ClearWire. They run the lines in the estate.

My previous setup was working 100% with all my wireless devices. Since staying here I am getting inconsistant connection issues throughout all my devices but particularly me and my wifes cellphones. We are getting connection to the router and wifi network. But not getting any axcess to the internet. This problem comes and go's which is really frustrating as i am unable to test settings to try and troubleshoot.

This morning after waking up I had to reset the router which then allowed all devices to be able to connect. After returning from work now both myself and my wifes phones are unable to connect to the internet. Although we are able to connect the network. Even restarting/resetting does not fix the problem as it did earlier in the day.

The only issue i managed to find online was DHCP server settings. I was hoping that some devices were sharing an IP adress on the network, but they all have individual static IPs assigned. There also have been no new devices connected since relocating

I have no more ideas of what to do. Other than perhaps trying a newer router.

Curently using a TP Link 300mbps ADSL2+ TD-W8961N Modem/Router

Update: I bought a new TP-Link Archer VR300 AC1200 incase it was my older router, but the same problem persists.

I am also unsure of how the estates internet is set up. As they want to charge a R1200 setup fee which I refuse to do out of principle. All i do know is that is not a standard PPoe setup as we require no login details to get axcess. Only plug and play.

I have also tried setting the router up on Dynamic IP as well as Bridge but both ways get the same results.

The weirdess is that everything will be working 100% and then boom everything is down. Although when plugging in a device directly the internet connection is still active (its not the line that goes down.)

Any ideas will be very welcome
