Cax80 keeps dropping internet connection
Recently purchased Nighthawk CAX80. Never had problems w/ my internet connection before hooking up the Cax80. For last 2 wks since my Cax80 has been connected, im getting disconnected like every 20 mi...
Hi,
My Gateway: Nighthawk CAX80, FW V1.1.0.41 - just bought less than 7 days ago.
I am having the same, if not a similar, issue where I get the "connected, no internet" message. I primarily see this on mobile device. But end rebooting the CAX80. This is only impacting the wifi connection as I am hard wired to my work laptop with no issues. I am using a RG6 coax cable. I do not have any splitters, etc.
At the time where I re-attempted to connect to the wifi with the mobile phone I see this in the log;
(I replaced numbers with #)
| [DHCP IP: 192.###.#.##] to MAC address dc:bf:e9:a4:eb:2c | 1 | Tue Sep 22 08:08:22 2020 | 192.168.1.43:0 | 0.0.0.0:0 |
When the CAX80 works as expected it performs well, but I need to try and resolve this before my return window closes. I have reset to defaults twice in the last few days.
Thanks
That must be the routine solution "call your ISP check signal blah blah blah." Been there done that. What their own tech told me was, "this is their newest model, so they are working out kinks." Nice, what a waste of $460.
