Firmware version: v1.0.7.62_1, which seems to be the latest
When the connection fails, I try
ipconfig /releaseipconfig /renew
on the PC, but the renew command times out.
I need to reboot the router & issue renew again to get the PC back online.
When I do,ipconfig /all
shows lease expires in 24hrs.
PC in the same configuration worked fine with my previous router.
Things change. In the meantime you have a new router, Windows 10 gets operating system updates twice a month, and your PC manufacturer could have provided driver updates for your Ethernet port hardware.
On the PC, have you checked the properties of your Ethernet hardware to see if Windows is putting it to sleep under the power plan?
