XR500 - At least once a day I get disconnected. I've tried everything.
XR500 V2.3.2.104-DumaOS3.0-Beta <--- Tried this because I've tried everything else. Windows 10 Wired to PC Spectrum Internet So a few weeks back I started to do more gaming on my PC ...
Are you using a Spectrum router or pure modem? Are any devices connected to the Spectrum device or is everything connected to the XR?
My spectrum has the modem and router as individual devices. I replaced their router with the XR500 due to the wifi strength. The only thing I have wired to the XR500 is my PC and my HUE Bridge. Everything is connected to wifi on the XR500. The spectrum modem is solely plugged into the XR500.
- Could you ask Spectrum how long the lease is? - I expect it is once every 24 hours or so, could you ask them to extend it to a week and see if that resolves it please?
I will contact them today with that. Once they do, ill reply with any updated results.
So I just wanted to post an update (not sure if a verified fix thus far), but as of last Sunday (10-18-2020) I have yet to recieve a single disconnect like I had prior. The solution was to completely disable the IPv6 internet option on the router. I also noticed a small gain in latency during gaming as well. So I'm unsure if the IPv6 settings has issues or what, but I've had a stable connection for almost 6 days straight.
