These boards are worthless. Netgear sucks. Their software and hardware and service sucks.

That will give you the intro to what I believe started this all, because prior to this, I had NO problems. I've since done a FULL factory reset on my router and changed passwords to the router multiple times. But even after I changed the pw to my router wo a full reset I was still getting bumped off. Last night it happened again (before the full reset).
I have this in the log:
[Internet connected] IP address: 98.206.195.25, Friday, Sep 17,2021 19:15:09
[Internet disconnected] Friday, Sep 17,2021 19:15:08
I tried to block this IP but the router app says this is not a valid IP???
This is not my IP and it seems to be what knocked me off. But how is this possible? How do I stop it. I had reset my password (it's 32 random characters I had written down on a piece of paper and typed into the RS4000 router app on my computer! Every time I get knocked off, I have to restart each device. I finally had enough I did a full factory reset. It's only been 12 hours since so nothing yet, but what is happening???
In the time it took me to write this, I was logged in to the browser app and it logged me out again.
