XR1000v2 Randomly Loses Internet, requires reboot
Twice in the last two days this has occurred. My router will stop providing internet access to all devices, wired and wireless. Restarting the router via the power button restores access. My ...
I'm using 192.168.0.21-254. I dont use any DHCP reservations, nor would an IP conflict cause my entire network to lock up;
Also keep in mind this impacted both wireless and wired clients.
My last lock up occured around 9:10am CST. Looking at my modem logs which i believe are in UTC, i do not see any events around that time.
Cable Connection Stats (Keep in mind i did not have to restart modem to resolve issue):
Please try DHCP IP address range .100 to .200 on the XR router.
Any Criticals, Errors or Warnings seen in the event logs needs to be reviewed and resolved by the ISP. Indicates a signal issue on the ISP line up to the modem.
Signal Power is too high on the modem. You'll end up burning it up:

I see lots of correctables and un-correctables that should be zeros.
Have the ISP check the signal and line quality UP to the modem. Be sure the ISP provisions the modem correctly.
Be sure there are no coax cable line splitters in the between the modem and ISP service box.
Be sure your using good quality RG6 coax cable up to the modem.
Start with removing any amplifiers, signal attenuators, or splitters from the coax.
From there check the line for kinks, damage, moisture in the line.
Check the connectors for improperly made ends, foil touching the copper coax line, loose connections, bad/old/cheap connectors, or corroded connections. Replace them if you do.
Be sure to power OFF the modem for 1 minute then back ON.

So you're blaming the modem for the issues with the router? The DumaOS web UI is completely unavailable during the outage. Why would a modem connected via ethernet have the ability to lock up an entire operating system of another device?
I appreciate your help but this seems a little farfetched. I'll try a factory reset and your DHCP ranges later this weekend when I have time thoughModem needs to be checked or you'll loose that unit.
Good luck then...
- I would raise your DHCP range as mentioned and set reserved IPs for all your devices outside that range and then actually disable DHCP altogether and see if that helps.
I'm not going to disable DHCP, why buy a router if i cant use basic features. An almost $200 router too
I had a splitter on hand with -3.5dB signal frequency. I'll let you know when the next lock up occurs;
