Lease expires causing internet to disconnect for a few seconds every 24hrs
This started about 5 weeks ago. Lease expires & internet disconnects for a few seconds every 24 hrs, ethernet & wifi. Im stumped, why would this suddenly start happening? I even changed from arris 820...
- I decided to just buy the nighthawk xr700. Zero disconnects & everything is running better than ever.
I don't believe there is a way to change the default lease time, but I remember there is an option under Administration allowing you to change the time at which the lease resets. You could move it to early in the morning when you're not using the connection.
Hmmmm.. i’ve searched under administration countless times on my xr500... I haven’t seen anything that would let me choose a time for the lease. I did release the lease & renew it a few times under connection status.. but that didn’t stop my issue at all.

- Could you please give a static/reserved IP to some of your devices to start with and see if they sustain a connection when others don't please?
- When i get home I will try a factory reset first. If that doesn’t work. I will try this.
my dad’s xr500 works perfectly with his internet, zero disconnects.. & it is updated current version.
Ty- Could be a faulty router but we'll have to investigate further. Keep us updated.
