CAX80 DHCP not working
Like the title says. I’m just gonna repost lurksalot post from the link since it sums everything up that I and others are experiencing.
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Cable-Modems-Routers/Cax80-keeps-dropping-internet-connection/m-p/1989380#M27619
“ My Gateway: Nighthawk CAX80, FW V1.1.0.41 - just bought less than 7 days ago.
I am having the same, if not a similar, issue where I get the "connected, no internet" message. I primarily see this on mobile device. But end rebooting the CAX80. This is only impacting the wifi connection as I am hard wired to my work laptop with no issues. I am using a RG6 coax cable. I do not have any splitters, etc.
At the time where I re-attempted to connect to the wifi with the mobile phone I see this in the log;
(I replaced numbers with #)
[DHCP IP: 192.###.#.##] to MAC address dc:bf:e9:a4:eb:2c 1 Tue Sep 22 08:08:22 2020 192.168.1.43:0 0.0.0.0:0
When the CAX80 works as expected it performs well, but I need to try and resolve this before my return window closes. I have reset to defaults twice in the last few days.”

Is AX mode enabled? What happens if you turn OFF AX mode?
Try setting a IP address reservation ON the CAX for your wifi device.
What DHCP IP address pool range are you using? Default? Try setting a smaller size. 192.168.1.100 thru .200.
What wifi devices do you have? Mfr and model#
