Black Ops 4 PS4 Pro Lan disconnecting XR500
I am randomly getting kick out of games due to a "Lan not connected" message when it is clearly connected. It boots me from the game and almost instantly I am able to join another game no problem. ...

Swap LAN cables between XR and PS.
Swap LAN ports on the back of the XR.
Is this the only device that experiences this disconnect? Do others?
Setup a IP address reservation for the PS ON the router.
Disable Port Triggering if you have uPnP enabled. If you only have 1 PS connected at a time, upnp is all thats needed for port entries for the PS.

All Cables are new. It was doing this before I bought new cables though.
Is this the only device that experiences this disconnect? Yes/No. Do others? The iMac browser on the iMac doesn't when the PS4 black ops disconnects.
Setup a IP address reservation for the PS ON the router. Done.
Disable Port Triggering if you have uPnP enabled. Did it when I enable Port Triggering.
If you only have 1 PS connected at a time, upnp is all thats needed for port entries for the PS.
Upnp didn't seem to give me an open nat.

When you said that the PS4 Pro was disconnecting, I thought that I recognised the issue from my own PS4 Pro, which occasionally had a problem where it thought the LAN cable had been unplugged. In order to fix this, I had to replace the LAN cable, and that seemed to sort it out.
However you also mention that the router itself loses connection. That's more concerning. Just to clarify, do you have a modem at all in your house, or does Google Fiber not require one?

The router doesn't actually show that it's losing connection the interface (webpage) disconnects and reconnects but nothing else goes down.
Just to clarify, do you have a modem at all in your house, or does Google Fiber not require one?
Google Fiber comes with a fiber jack and a network box. The fiberjack is how the optical signal comes into the house the network box is the both router and modem. I have configured the XR500 to replace the network box.
- Netduma-FraserOct 29, 2019NetDuma PartnerThe router interface message about not being connected to it, does this happen if you connect to the interface using the LAN IP or routerlogin.net and vice versa?
The issue with the LAN cable is quite a common one for PS4, check the PS4 port itself and see if it has any pins out of alignment. I assume also that WiFi works fine?
