Happening over wireless and wired?
What devices are connected?
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?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
How is the RAX120 configured and connected to the ISP service device? Yellow WAN port or the Multi Gig port?

So your ISP service is just a wall out let that they told you to connect the router too? No physical box device anywhere?
Does the top Internet globe LED turn AMBER when this happens?
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last FW update?
There is printing on the cables that indicate CAT#.

Yes and amber on 2 lan ports all the time but no it does not turn amber. I have not done a factory reset - I have to work with internet service and they are local - we work from home so that is why I have not yet.
