Nighthawk MR60 - overloaded and then internet disconnected if using WiFi

Hello,

i was using MR60 without any problems for more than 2 years. Now after every 4-24 hours I need to reboot to connect to internet. With used WiFi, it somehow freezes (data not working) and disconnect form internet after few seconds (log "Internet disconnected").

- FW was updated (it does it even with last one)

- I did also complete factory reset and new setup

- Other router works without any problems on my internet connection (FTTB)

If WiFi is not used (I changed WiFi name for a while), it works OK.

Any suggestion, please?

    You have another router? or a gateway with its own routing capability? 

    What happens if you use that and put the MR60 in AP (access point) mode

      Yes, I have one. Official from my internet provider (Zyxel with very bad WiFi coverage).

      My plan is to try it exactly like you suggest. Will let you know.

      But it sound little bit strange setup after 2 years of no problem usage 😞
