Losing Internet connection
My new router consistently loses connection to my ISP cable modem.

I don't have this option. No access to the modem.
My Nighthawk R6400 never had this issue.

Not on the modem I mean on the router. Routerlogin.net > Settings > Internet Setup, switch from dynamic to static

Can you do that if the ISP is using DHCP? Wouldn't you need to have them create and assign a static address for that to work?
in any case, I've had them give me a brand new modem of a different manufacturer. Let's see if that changes anything.
- Netduma-FraserMar 09, 2019NetDuma PartnerYes you can, no it can be done from the router without having to do that.
Okay great, keep us updated with what happens!- BanditMaskMar 11, 2019Aspirant
Still losing Internet connection, seems that the intervals in between are longer now though. As to your suggestion, how do I know the static IP to set? According to my ISP only upgrading to a business account has the ability for static IP. Is there another way?
