After getting the router working (first time set up about a week ago), the internet connection is getting dropped. I have no explanation for it and there is no pattern for when it happens, and it is not fixed by a reboot. I’ve never had the issue with the routers I used before, on the same modem/isp. Its happened a handful of times and each time it came back online after 5 minutes ish, but I’m writing this because this time it went out for a solid 10 minutes. Its really crucial that this doesn’t happen for me.

    And…. It just went back online again. You can see it flashes online for a few seconds in there sometimes. I can’t fathom what is causing this, my first guess would be terrible isp but this is just now starting to happen with this router after *never* happening before.

    In LAN Settings, 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.
