Internet disconnect during lease renewal while running multicast TV stream
The router is working fine if I don't use multicast TV, otherwise internet get's disconnected on every lease renewal for a minute (which is not funny at all since my ISP has 30 min lease). I have...
I thought it was up to date since "check for update" feature returned that this is the newest firmware. Now I'm not sure which firmware I have and which I had before. After I did manual update to 0.56 the System Information page still displays .40 as firmware version. But in log when starting router I get following entry: [Initialized, firmware version: V2.3.2.56] Date & Time
So maybe it was already running this version since I remember that I updated firmware once after buying the router.
Sometimes Sys Info page doesn't reload the version without a hard refresh but sounds like you're on the latest. Could you set static/reserved IPs for your devices and see if it still continues to drop after that please?
I used the Settings -> LAN Setup -> Address Reservation to do that and didn't help.
Didn't need to do this for multiple devices since only my PC was connected to the router after the factory reset.
- I assume your WAN IP shown in Sys info is your public IP? Could you disable QoS fully from the Anti-Bufferbloat menu and see if it drops again when using the stream?
Still the same behaviour, with and without static IP
