    Same problem here (I started the thread) WAN disconnects.

    Cable company came out and tested and replaced the Modem.

    2 Hours later I had a WAN disconnect. RMA # 2 will be here today.

     

    I never had this problem with the R7000!

Changing MTU was not good, right off the bat I could not connect to

certain secured sites. Set back to 1500 and all was OK again. Thats

NOT an answer.
