The firmware in my router is Version V1.1.6.124_2.0.59
Sorry for the earlier lack of info.

so the goal is to figure out where exactly the issue is coming from.
If you have no wired devices and your getting a lan fail notice, the only thing connected with ethernet is the modem.
so is the error coming from the modem or the router side.
Do you have a screen snip of the modems cable connection page and event logs?
have you replaced the cable between modem/router?

I think this is what you want, and no, I haven't replaced any cables. CORRECTIOIN: I have my deskto PC connected to the router with an ethernet cable.

you've got quite few errors in your line. We're missing the logs and the upstream info but right now its looking like a line issue.
Start with removing any amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters from the coax.
From there check the line for kinks, damage, moisture in the line.
Check the connectors for improperly made ends, foil touching the copper coax line, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do.
If you can, simply connect the modem right where the coax comes into the home. This prevents wiring in the home from being the issue. And some ISP’s charge if the wiring issue is in the home. So this helps prevent this.- santeeslimMay 08, 2022Tutor
Thanks very much for your help. I moved the modem and router to the point at which the Internet cable enters the house, I now have zero errors on either log.
Thanks again.
