Internet down same time each afternoon
For about the past week now, internet connectivity drops between 1 pm and 3pm each day. Everything else on our network/wifi works. Have Netgear RS 700 and we are on Comcast / xfinity cable interne...
Would it be correct to assume that Comcast reports "we see nothing" when contacted about this?
Does Internet access return (by itself, if nothing is done to the router)?
Does the RS700 have a web function that reports the lease on the public IP address from Comcast?
My Orbi, for example, shows this:
Since DHCP protocol is to renew a lease when 50% of the time remains and it is now 6:24PM, that means this router will attempt to renew the public IP lease in 11 hours and 3 minutes (i.e. 5:27am tomorrow) It would be a fascinating coincidence if the internet outage happens to occur when the public IP lease should be renewed.
