XR500 DC Every night
Hey all,
I've been having this problem for awhile now, Everynight around the same time my router DC's from the internet this affects all devices Wifi/Wired I've heard it could be a DHCP problem something to do with the lease expiring but im no expert i've tried factory reseting updating firmware changing power outlets nothing has worked, The only temporary fix is to turn it off then on when the DC happens
ps, I added an image of the Lease times just in case anyone wanted to see that, Thank you,

- In LAN Setup, 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.
Any progress on this?

- Yes I’ve gave it some time to do some tests and it seems it was a power problem, I switch the routers power outlet too a different one and I haven’t had any type of Disruption since
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

What FW version is currently loaded on the XR router?
