Re: RS300 random disconnect from the internet

I have similar issue with this new RS 300 Wifi7 router. Paid amoist 400 dollars for it, but doesn't work properly. I lose internet constantly, maybe every 4-6 minutes. Sometimes it wokrs longer, but sometime keep dropping it. I couldn't figure out what causes it.

  • What Firmware version is currently loaded?
    What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
    Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6A STP is recommended. 

     

    Try disabling the following and see:
    Armor, IPv6, Smart Parental Controls or Circle, Protection Engine, Traffic Meter.
