RAX200 keeps dropping WAN connection
Hi, I recently bought RAX200 and it appeared working fine for 5 days until yesterday when random disconnects on WAN started happening. Following messages appear in logs repeatedly: [Internet con...
Thanks for the tips. I'll try both of your suggestions.
So I tried the AP mode and the results appears similar. I didn't do a factory reset though, that is next on my to-do list. I remember doing it on the day I had installed this router so I thought I'd try without it first. Here is a snapshot from router status page (note WAN up time is much lower than system up time and DHCP lease from router/modem is 24 hours):
I also noticed following entries in the log file (corresponding time interval in modem is clean):

Any idea what else could I check or try?
I'd check with your hiltron for its lease time period. Maybe you can set it for a longer period of time
My current setup is:
Hitron CODA (in bridged mode) <---> Linksys EA7500 (router mode with WiFi turned off) <---> RAX200 in AP mode.
Lease time between Linksys router and Netgear RAX200 is 24 hours. I suspected DHCP lease time and that I why I made sure that the lease time was set to 24 hours. I can see that lease time in RAX200 router status page as well. I think something happened after 6 hours of start of RAX200 (done roughly 12 hours ago) due to which WAN interface got reset.
I have noticed this exact same behaviour in all the following configuration:
- Hitron in bridge + RAX200 in router mode
- Hitron in router + RAX200 in router mode
- Hitron in bridge + Linksys Router + RAX200 AP mode
As a next step, I'll reflash the firmware followed by reset to factory defaults and then observe it for a day or two.

Try going hiltron (router mode)-----linksys (ap)----rax (ap).
