problems with R6400v2
Hello everyone, Since my network connection is dropping away sometimes I've contacted a forum of my ISP and they have told me to put all DHCP servers off, only leaving my modems DHCP server on. W...
Thanks all for helping. All problems have been solved right now. I did put the router off untill now since I didn't want to look at it anymore. Yesterday I started looking at it again. I did a reset and configured everything again like I wanted it to be. The router (192.168.0.50) seems te be working fine now: I can acces ui on every pc in the network. The web page also gets recognized now in the ip scan. The problem where the network connection is dropping away is also solved. This was the fault of my ISP (probably something in the firmware of the modem). Sorry that I didn't respond for a few months.
Best regards

Thank you for helping.
My ISP is Telenet and my modem is a 24*8 Doc 3 Wireless (DOCSIS) but I don't know the firmware version.
My setup is in an image. My sonos speakers are connected to wifi so as laptops and phones. I have a correct working PiHole setup installed on a jail on ip 192.168.0.17. I have also checked that I doesn't block things it shouldn't block.
I've tried a new fresh browser and I still get the same result (see pictures)
I'm not sure if the DHCP is off since every netgear router in ap tells me "DHCP On"
I've tried to hook up only the important items like routers, digicorders etc. but i'll try to go 1 by 1 next week. Only hooking up the important stuff did reduce the amount of droppings but it is still there. The dropping are always at a different time they are not like 30 minits after each other.

Sorry for link didn't know how to attach them all at one.

So it's a modem+router.

Ok. So things like the "desktop" at ".4" would also have a static
address?

It all looks reasonable (complex, but reasonable). I don't have a
good explanation for the inability to talk to the management web site on
the R6400v2-as-WAP at ".50". But you can do it from a computer which is
connected directly to that R6400v2-as-WAP?
All the R6400v2-as-WAP units are connected to the main network using
their WAN/Internet ports? (LAN Ethernet ports or wireless for client
devices?)
I don't see an obvious problem. Knowing nothing, I might try things
like:
1. Swap the R6400v2-as-WAP at ".50" with the R6400v2-as-WAP at ".51".
Does the problem move with the R6400v2, or is there a problem with
where it's connected.
2. Change the (LAN) IP address of the problem R6400v2-as-WAP to, say,
".90" (or something else unusual).
3. If desperate, I'd try (re-)building the whole mess, starting with
only the ISP modem+router, and adding one device at a time.
4. Try an older firmware version?

You could test that by disconnecting the R6400v2-as-WAP from the main
network, and connecting a DHCP-using computer to it. The computer
should get no IP address (or a self-assigned one).
