XR500 frequently drops internet connections

Hey All,

 

I am currently experiencing an issue with my new XR500, As the title says my connection disconnects for about 3-10 seconds from time to time throughout the day. As well as the lights on my router constantly blinking, I am aware that they indicate if there is traffic on our network but, After trying multiple solutions from this forum I wasn't able to solve that issue either.

 

I am using a wired connection (Cat6)

Thanks in advance!

  • What is the XR500 connected to upstream? An ISP router, a modem, or straight into the wall?

        What kind of modem is it? Is it purely a modem or does it work as a router? I'm trying to figure out if it could be doing any traffic management on it's own which might be interfering with DumaOS.
