XR 500

I have an XR 500 router and my internet cuts out every 4 hours. I have contacted my internet provider and they have not had any drops in internet shown on the modem. The firmware is up to date and I need some solutions to fix this. Anything would be helpful. My internet is steady and good the rest of the time, but every four hours it randomly cuts out. 

 

Thanks in advance.

  • Could you take a look in Settings > Monitoring > Connection status please. When does it say you obtained the DHCP lease and when does it say it will expire?

      It says obtained 8 hrs, and expires 7 hours 57 minutes.

        I am also looking at the log and it says [DoS Attack: TCP/UDP Chargen] from an IP address that is out of my state, port 53, and it happened at the time my internet cut out this morning.
