Question about Nighthawk xr500

I bought my router a week ago and found out that once every 24 hours, it will lose connection for like 30 seconds and then come back up. I'm just wondering if there is a way to fix this? Is it something to do with renew lease in the settings and if there is a way to where it doesn't disconnect me?

    What firmware is on it? 

    What modem/gateway is it connected to? 

    You might also have better luck in the proper forum (pro gaming forum) versus the standard forum.

    Yes it is most likely to do with the lease, unfortunately there is no way currently to extend this. Best bet In LAN Setting is to set the DHCP range to start at .50, then assign reserved IP addresses to devices between .2 & .49 so they're out of the DHCP range, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes and see if that stops the disconnects.
