Randomly getting Internet disconnected

Hi there!

I've adquired recently the R6080 Netgear router, is got its lastest firmware 1.0.0.42. Thing is that it will constatly drop connection for no reason. I use mainly my computer which is wired to it, yet randomly the orange light will pop and the connection will drop for a few seconds.

Logs go like:

internet disconnected

internet recconected IP at date

It happens very randomly, can be every few minutes or every hours, it's annoying specially while gaming or hosting a service. and yes I tried connecting directly to my modem and this issue won't happen at all so it's not my ISP. Also tried downgrading firmware and still no luck.

Could be that my router is faulty? Or is there some configuration I could pull of to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

I should mention that I've formerly used at least two other routers before with this modem and haven't had this particular issue.
I've seen several different brands of combo devices that didn't properly implement their bridge modde.
What I'd try for troubleshooting?
put the zyzel back in router mode but disable its wireless. Then run the netgear in AP mode. See if the problem still happens. If it does, it wasn't related to that. But if it doesn't, its an issue with how zyzel implements their bridge mode.
