Random DC every 3-5h
I've been getting these random dc's. Connection goes back online after 20-30s.
Running the latest firmware.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
.
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

The NG router is connected to the fiber converter, no modem.

I have it set to channel 6 on 2.4Ghz already and 44 on 5Ghz.
What bothers me the most is that I lose connection on my ethernet (main computer).
I have tried switching ethernet cable, switching ethernet ports...still random connection issues.
- Is there anything that happens every 3-5h consistently such as a large download or anything like that?
No, no large downloads. I play pc games online thats all.
- Make sure the router is plugged directly into the wall and not an extender, it could interrupt the power flow required.
Also change the ethernet cable connecting the router to your ISP hub as it may be faulty.
