What CAT# lan cable do you have between the modem and router? CAT6 is recommended.
Be sure your ISP services up to the modem is good.
I have a newer cat8 cable connected, although the unit itself comes with a cat5e cable. Services up to the modem are good, i just replaced the modem the same day and direct connected an xbox to it for 3hours of play without interruption.
Does the LEDs on the router turn AMBER when this happens?
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
Try using the LAN cable that came with the router between the modem and router to test.
Try this, factory reset the router and setup from scratch. I would power OFF the ISP modem and router for 1 minute after you reset the router and before you walk thru the setup wizard.
Power ON the modem then the router and walk thru the setup wizard with a wired PC and web browser.
You should be able to input your ISP speeds seen during the walk thru.
After you set up the router and get to the home screen, change the default IP address pool range to 192.168.1.100 to .200.
Manually set WiFi channels to 1 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 or 149 on 5Ghz.
I would leave all gaming features disabled for now. QoS should be enabled or you can try it disabled as well.
- Thanks for the reply
the light does not turn amber stays white
there are 2 wi-fi neighbors
I tried similar to the below with changing the dhcp scope and using steric ip’s but will try again shortly.
I just got off with support and they changed two settings
mtu size to 1496
mac address - use address of the computer (in wan setup)
will report back shortly
