R7800 losing internet after modem reconnection
My ISP has Asus modem/router that I still use while it has/routes IPTV .. R7800 is connected and in router mode .. all is good until modem reconnects every 24h .. after that R7800 gives wifi .. says i...
I have installed Voxel fw .. same as netgear but newer versions .. I dont think that made it much better
But I have added is 3rd DNS server in router settings .. I have two Googles and 3rd is modem 192.168.5.1
and now after modem reconnect I still have internet .. but delay on page load is few seconds, noticable .. so I guess router uses 3rd dns, modem address .. after I reboot router I have much faster load of web .. there is no pause on load .. starts to load after 1 sec ..
hmm .. that is what I have now .. really puzzled ..
I replaced my Linksys EA6900 with the R7800 not because of its routing performance, but because of its wireless performance and range. If you look at the SmallNetBuilder.com router rankings, https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/rankers/router/result/2538-netgear-r7800?testmethod=35, the R7800 has a mediocre HTTP score when compared to routers based on newer chip-sets, but its wireless performance and range are top notch. I now have a strong 5 GHz signal and high throughput throughout a two-story house and in the backyard. The R7800 is also very stable, which is the top thing on my list in choosing a router.
The bottom line is that I think you are getting your money's worth running the R7800 as an AP.

I would remove the two Google DNS servers and just use the IP address of the modem/router in teh R7800 and see if this fixes the problem. Alternatively, just configure the R7800 to use the DHCP configured values.
did that ..
I dont see a connection between modem reconnect and DNS set in router
but I guess now should be ok ..
