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 ...
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.
- Okay that should be fine but just incase in Settings > Internet Setup switch from Dynamic to Static. Also give some reserved IPs in LAN Settings to the devices you immediately notice the issue on - just give them the same IP they already have and see if it continues after that. Those entries in the logs are just connections you come in contact with, it's not actually an attack so unlikely to be the cause.
Okay sounds good. Now to wait and see if it still happens.
Not sure what happened, but my xbox would not sign back into xbox live and my computer also would not connect to discord or to the internet. So I switched everything I did back. Not sure if I did something wrong with the LAN or what. But my computer and xbox wouldn't work.
