What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
Does this device have a ethernet port by chance?

Thanks for your help.
Firmware version is V1.0.2.92
The modem is not ISP device. It is my personal device. NETGEAR CM600
The LAN cable is CAT5E. I will try a CAT6 as you suggest.
Unsure if the generator has a ethernet port but I was considering a hardwire connection rather than WIFI if it is available just to put this issue to rest.
