MR60 dhcp errors

Been having a lot of trouble with this router going offline and only being able to come back after a reset. some devices will reconnect but most give dhcp errors. I sometimes have to reset the router multiple times over the course of hours just to be able to access the admin page. I also can’t change the name or password from default otherwise no devices will connect.
I called support but I’m past 90 day warranty for phone support had this router for less than a year but I’m at the end of my rope, wondering if I should just buy a new router

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    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. CAT6 is recommended.

      Factory reset firmware
      Spectrum modem not sure of the model #
      Using Lan cable that came in the box

      Sometimes turning Qos on will help for a few days. Not sure if that matters. Also when connected to a MacBook I can only access a few websites while others say server not responding

        What Firmware version is currently loaded on the MK system?


        What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Can you look at the front or back for any printing or sticker information?
