XR500 dropping wifi connection every 3-5 minutes
My XR500 dropping wifi connection every 3-5 minutes causing my laptop to reconnect all the time.
What's interesting is that it happens for 1 device only - all other devices in home (2 phones + 2 work laptops) are ok. It has been happening with my personal laptop only, thus I thought it's a laptop issue. Though, when I connected my personal laptop via ethernet cable exactly the same thing started with my working laptop - it reconnects every 5 minutes while my wife's laptop streams online conferences with no issues. So it's definitely not ISP issue and not my hardware. XR500 log indicates constant DHCP lease change:

Changing IP addressing to static doesn't help - the same thing happens but without "DHCP lease change" in the logs. The only "solution" I have so far is to connect via ethernet.
Firmware is the latest available: Firmware Version V2.3.2.56

One small addition - it happens on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. And changing wifi channels doesn't help.
Conection type - PPPoE, via ISP's optic fiber receiver.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update?
- Give the laptop that you're experiencing the issue on a static/reserved IP in LAN Settings - use the same IP from the Device Manager that it is getting for ease. Does it still continue after this?
