RBK853 lost conection

Hi,

 

I need some help in order to solve the problem that i have with my rbk853

 

At least 3 times per week my router lost connection and i need to unplug in order to have internet again. Is no possible to reboot remotely due to i dont have internet at home. There is any option that automatically when the router detect itself no connection reboot? Like watchdog option -- no connection reboot

 

Thanks!!!

    What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

     

    What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
    What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

    What channels are you using? Auto? Try Auto and 48 on 5Ghz. Or try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and 40 to 48 channel on 5Ghz. Disable AX mode on 2.4Ghz on the RBR.
    Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?

     

    Try disabling the following and see:
    Armor, Traffic Meter.

     

    Set 20/40Mhz Coexistence to 40Mhz only. Set CTS to 2347. Save settings and reboot the router and satellite(s). Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

        Does the front LED on the RBR/RBS turn ON when internet stops?
