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.
What modem are you using?
have you factory reset and re-installed?
or tried re-loading the firmware? if the firmware was corrupt, a reset doesn't overwrite it. it just removes settings. so try re-loading the firmware.
Modem is a "Zyxel P660ru-t1 v3"
I think I have done factory reset? Is it by keeping pressed the reset button and configuring the router all over right? If so, I did that once.
How do I re-load the firmware? I just attempt to upload it despite being the current version, right? Will give a try.
Reuploaded the firmware but the problem is still present, attached the log so you can see what I mean.
your Zyxel P660ru-t1 also has an integrated router.
