    That's not packet loss in the pics. It's common practice for major routers to drop ICMP by default. Whatever the issue you may have, this isn't it, and is unrelated.

    .

    k ,so spent hours yesterday evening trying to find the culprit,
    tried an old Vodafone router i have, worked fine for an hour , then i realised the phone wasn't working , removed router and phone worked ...

    (these are in separate locations) so went without the phone for the evening ( dont use it much anyway)

    this morning put the tplink router back in play, phone worked and internet has been stable all day...
    conclusion . must have been working on lines somewhere . :rolleyes:

    cant wait for fibre to be connected .
