Hi,
Thnaks for your reply. My modem doesn't have the bridge mode feature, I check it already. And I'm honestly happier with the full Router mode fetaures, instead of AP mode, which has much less features. And it's working fine so far.
I disables all the advanced network settings, including the Daisy Chain. And it never drops down the conenction, so far.
In the next weeks, my ISP will switch the cable to fiber optic, which it will be, I guess, a huge difference.
