I know you are on here talking to probably thousands of people- haha
You've helped me with my 970 system before.
I looked in the Telnet debug log and noticed an apple tv asking for upnp stuff- not sure- but the times coincided with the network disconnects. So I started to look up if a device can cause your router to disconnect, and found a lot of posts about Apple TVs doing this- Even in enterprise environments like at schools and hospitals.
I have a theory- Could a hardwired Apple TV cause some sort of loop? or broadcast storm? not sure- figured you'd know better than me.
Let it run for now. Give it 3 days observation. If after that, then nothing happens. Might be good.
If you see something then observe the system with the ATVs disabled.
Then re-enable the ATVs with the couple of suggestions I made. Ya wouldn't put it past Apple to be doing something odd.
I have seen iPhones request DHCP IPs every few seconds on other systems. Possible this is a IPv6 issue. That and DHCP and how Apple and NG does things makes it hard to narrow things down.
Let us know how it goes in 3 days. LOL. I Think I have a 4K ATV, I need to look and see what we have. Though when I had the 970 series online, I saw no issues or disconnections while I had it online.
Could be. My internet kept dropping everyday at the same time and upon further investigation found out it was when the lease expired. My isp has 24hr dhcp lease. I opted to reset my modem one night at 3am so it disconnected everyday at 3am and hasn't bothered me ever since lol.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended.
Does the front LED on the RBR turn on PINK or RED when this happens?
Please review the UP time on the RBRs web page under Advanced tab/Internet/Show stats to see uptime now and after the RBR seem to disconnect.
Check with your ISP to see if they have a WAN least time policy and how long it is.
Im on a inertek xgs pon ont model frx523 with frontier fios 2 gig.
Last night my HomeKit hub was altering my phone to no hubs responding all night do to multiple reboots
I called fios this morning- spent 2 hours on phone with tier 2 tech support- turns on there were over 200 dhcp error alarms when they logged into the ont in the onts debug logs
Attributed it to a faulty NIC at the central office and replaced it in real time- line tested, and returned no errors… directed to observe behavior for 3 days and scheduled call back on Tuesday
Tier 2 told the first thing tier 1 does is blame the router, 2nd thing is to send a field tech
Turns out he confirmed the fault was on thier back end server… my gosh what a pain in the a** this has been.
Ill report back if anything new pops up-
Thanks for being attentive to thread posts, and trying to help.
To me it almost seems if there is an increase in attenuation, the router drops off. Fios has been to my house 7 times since buying the 970. Fios blames router, router seems fine... no body knows.
I wonder if there is some sort of firmware bug that takes place during DHCP renewal? or if the signal degrades past a threshold that the router drops off?
Just guessing- not an expert, just having the exact same, ongoing problem.
Every day I have to reconnect a switch, a camera, etc... What an awful experience this has ended up being with this mesh system.
Hey Furry, the router starts off blinking white the slow blinks white then once a link is established, it goes off… at the same times the satellites start off magenta, then blink white, then light blue, then go off… usually takes 2 or 3 minutes.
