Lb1120 dropping internet
Worked great for a while, and works great when working. I have used it on 3 different networks even. VZ, AT&T, T-Mobile, then back to AT&T all in a few months. Now 1-2x a day it drops connection and never reconnects. Turn it's power button off, wait 2 sec, turn on, connects again great.
I have tried it directly plugged into the Google WiFi, or an Asus wifi router, or both. I've tried with almost nothing on the network and tied with only different things on. I've also updated the unit. All the same.
This is my only home internet, so I really need this to just work again like it used to.

Im having the exact same issues with mine. Were you able to come up with a solution for this?

Has anyone found a solution to this? I am having the same problem. ATT is the carrier and the LTW is our sole internet aceess. What happens is that the LB1120 modem maintains the connection, but the RT-AX88U router drops the connection to the modem. When this occurs, the router log has an entry "WAN Connection ISP's DHCP did not function properly". I made the following tweaks which have helped. It dropped only one time yesterday - instead of the 10-15 times a day before the tweaks. In the LB1120 - I turned off "keep alive". In the Asus router in the WAN tab - I set the DHCP query frequency to "normal mode". - We will see if this works or if there is some other setting buried in one of the devices.
