XR500 LAN ports sometimes will stop working

Had my router since October 2021. Been having this issue on and off. 3zcept it is for everything. TV connection, phones everything. I reset right down to the coax cable too and sometimes it works sometimes I have to wait a few days. Super dossappinted in this 250 dollar product. My modem works fine and is brand new (happened on the old one too). The new modem is even netgear too.l and is compatible.

@Villageidiot14 In LAN Settings, set the DHCP range to start at .50, then assign reserved IP addresses to devices between .2 & .49 so they're out of the DHCP range, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes and see if that stops the disconnects.

What actual modem is it that you have it connected to?

It happened to me. My printer (LAN connection) suddenly stopped working.  Now it's working. 

Do you have DL speed problem as well? 

 

Check the router temperature.  😊.  If hot, get a fan.
