Netgear D6220 NBN FTTN doesn't connect to internet
I've been without internet for 5 days.
I'm using a Netgear D6220 to connect to NBN FTTB with iinet.
My service had been connected for over a month before it dropped out for no apparent reason.
After days of talking to iinet support they sent a technician out. Just before they arrived my internet connected, again for no apparent reason.
The technician checked everything out, said it was all working fine. We even went down and checked the MDF room (I live in an apartment) and confirmed that everything was fine.
After he left, I disconnected the modem/router to tidy up the cables and when I plugged it back in the internet connection was lost.
I called iinet and again and they confirmed that everything was good on their end.
Basically I'm 90% sure it's the Modem/router. I can get a connection but it can take 24/48hr for a green light.
I've tried factory resets, reconfiguring settings, literally everything.
Has anyone else experienced this with this model?
I don't want to go out to buy a new router just to test it.
When I do manage to get a connection, the speeds are great. But Ican't go on like this for much longer!

As much as it sucks I’m glad I’m not the only one.
I think I’ve looked at every single D6220 forum.
Do you have the ISP configured to ‘other’ or ‘iinet’ in the Netgear genie?

See if any of these help:
Search - NETGEAR Communities – D6220 NBN
NBN seems to be a rat's nest. Some ISPs go for exotic settings that confuse everyone.
This seems to be a good source of local wisdom:

Re: Netgear D6220 NBN FTTN doesn't connect to internet
I have this exact problem. D6220 Router worked for several months on FTTN (VDSL). Now shows No Internet. NBN technician came out and proved service works with iinet ISP Provided router. He said he has now had multiple customers with D6220 that no longer work.
On the ISP side they can see the mac-address of my router, and see that i am successfully authenticating with the Radius server but my router is not obtaining a DHCP lease from the ISP. Factory reset router, no luck. Tried another D6220, still did not work. Upgrded to latest firmware but didnt fix it. The ISP advised NBN upgraded their equipment and it looks like D6220 no longer works. Contacted Netgear and they said they would send me a new router but would call me back next day to confirm as they were out of stock. 5 days later, still waiting for that call. As I am woking from home, I ran out and bought TPLink VR400. Worked instantly.
