RAX10 4-Stream Ax1800 Internet dropping after a week or two
Hello. I am running my AX1800 router in my garden house, and I'm running it in Access point mode. I have a cat6 cable going from my ISP router in the house to the AX1800 in the garden house. The reas...
Thank you for this.
Wifi access point wont be a option as I'm using most of my devices with cable. And also I don't think putting the Zyxel in only modem mode would be good, as I'm using all the ports on the router.
Maybe I need to upgrade my entire system? For example run the router/modem in only modem mode, then split into two routers from there? The most important part here is that I keep the LAN aspect of it as I'm streaming movies with Plex in both buildings.

You can still use all LAN ports even when the router is in access point mode.
- Yep, this is true and it is what I'm doing currently. Everything works fine, only that it drops internet for cabled devices (might have forgot to mention it's only cabled devices that loses connection) after a week or so.

That was also in the first message.
There is a big difference between "Internet drops" and LAN "loses connection".
Which is it?
The wired devices on my Netgear router, which is running in AP mode, loses internet connection and also LAN connection. It's like they dissapear. Restarting Netgear router makes the devices go online again and also show up on the LAN.
Please bear with me, this is not my first language, and I'm no networking expert sadly.
