Having to reboot my XR 500 Daily

Hi,

Since 2 weeks i have to reboot my router at least once a day in order to have internet at home, it's becoming very frustrating. I've tried the following things:

Turned of qos
Factory reset
Checked for latest firmware

I'm out of idea's so if anyone has a fix let me know

    1. what modem/gateway is the router connected to? 

    2. what actual firmware are you on? 

     

  • In addition to the above, what's changed in the last two weeks that's led to you noticing this problem? Have their been any changes to your network that you can think of?

        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 the router and setup from scratch.

        Make sure you change the default DHCP IP address range to 192.168.1.100 to .200
