DESCRIPTION
We have been seeing an increase in broadband lines dropping and reconnecting. This started from 9PM Saturday. We're investigating the cause. Skip to the 'resolution' section below for fixes.
Resolution: Summary:
  • A problem with Draytek routers meant many around the country (or world?) have problems staying connected, this affects Drayteks on many ISPs, not just us. This seems to be triggered by some sort of 'attack' against Draytek routers which have vulnerable software.
  • We have sent SMS/Emails to many of the affected customers pointing them to this status post. We have also emailed Draytek for comment.
  • Possible fix #1: We expect a software upgrade to resolve the problem and strongly suggest customers with Draytek routers upgrade their software or try a different make of router.
  • Possible fix #2: If software upgrade does not help, then make sure remote access to the router is disabled, and any VPN service is disabled - especially the ssl vpn and ssh vpn. (In GUI go to: VPN and Remote Access > Remote access control)
  • Last resort fix #3: Replace the router with a different model (at least Temporarily). We have Technicolor routers in stock...
  • Firmware available from: https://fw.draytek.com.tw

Further details as sent out from Draytek:

If you are experiencing this issue, please follow the steps below to troubleshoot:

Disconnect the WAN cable.

Log into the router’s Web UI and check the system uptime. If the uptime is lower than the last known reboot, this indicates the router recently restarted.

Disable Remote Management by going to [System Maintenance] > [Remote Management].

Disable SSL VPN Service by going to [VPN and Remote Access] > [Remote Access Control].

Reboot the router and reconnect the WAN cable.

Monitor the connection to see if the WAN remains stable.

Firmware check and update:

Verify your router’s firmware version. If it is outdated, update it to the latest version.

Before updating, note your current firmware version. If you do not have a copy of the current firmware, download it first.

Take a configuration backup to avoid losing your settings.

If your WAN connection is stable:

Even if your device is not disconnecting, it is good practice to ensure you are on the latest firmware.

If your router is already on recent firmware and the newest version is not marked as Critical, an update may not be urgent but is still recommended for optimal performance and security.

For further assistance, visit our support page or contact our Customer Support team.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
