Re: Drop connection
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Is it only xbox game console dropping the wire connection or do other wired devices drop the connection as well?

Re: Drop connection
My router gets 950 Mbps download and 975 Mbps upload with a ping of 2 ms. So it’s not mine if the ISP I have already mentioned. It’s the router.

Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update? Power OFF the ISP ONT as well for 1 minute then back on. Walk thru the setup wizard. I would avoid enabling Armor, Access controls or Traffic Meter.
Ensure yoru using good quality LAN cables. CAT6 is recommended.
Try the Router at a different location with a different ISP. Friend, family or nighbor to see if the problem follows. If it does, or doesn't, then you'll know.

@FURRYe38 asked you what modem you ARE using.
As you should have discovered by now from your earlier misplaced posts in the section for gaming routers, there is no point in providing details that are not relevant. That just confuses people.
Checking the Frontier FiberOptic support section, it seems to have various connection options. With and without MoCA, for example.

Every RJ45 "hole in the wall" plugs into something. It isn't always just a socket.

FACTORY RESET DONE ABOUT 15 times since I bought the house LAST YEAR October 17,2020. My ISP has been reset by the provider and the Modem Netgear 1150v. I don’t use ARMOR OR Traffic Meter

I another post I placed - I actually did that. I hard reset and started fresh and the only thing plug to the router was my friend Xbox and sure enough it did it too. I plugged my Xbox to his ISP, and nothing happened. We played for a few hours and nothing happen. I took his Xbox to my house and without a hiccup. I had no issues. He kept my Xbox and he also had no hiccup.

Re: Drop connection
Try loading up very first version of FW and see if "everything drops".

Re: Drop connection
Download the FW file from NG support site.
Just to see if the problem continues. IF it does then you'll know.

Re: Drop connection
Just bought this router… was absolutely thrilled with it out of the box... Wi-Fi speeds and range. Sweet!
A few hours later not so thrilled with drops, restarts and general intermittent impedance.
Checked firmware for any updates. All up to date. OK – makes sense, it updated on initial install.
Logs indicate numerous DoS attacks from legit IP’s that I suspect are causing the restarts. Long explanation on that. Too disgusted to get into it.
Searched web for insight for like issues from other users (last stop - here). Huh… numerous. Ok, so maybe there’s a remedy.
Downgrade firmware in steps until the issues are within tolerance.. WTF? No!
Restart, better yet - hard reset the damn thing at least 20 times. Surely that will fix it. Nope. And again, WTF?
Change one setting or 8… experiment, have fun with it. Eff that, I change settings to increase performance for my particular use, not to make it work.
Your ISP’s modem sucks, or maybe they just suck in generral. No, it was fine with the Synology router I only phased out 3 days ago because no Wi-Fi 6 forthcoming.
Maybe you suck. OK, up for discussion I guess, but not really relative to this issue.
I see that some folks have no issues at all. Great.
For me, this thing is a POS that I now need to return… boxing.
End of story. Don’t wait so long your return window closes.

Re: Drop connection
There is a lot going on in that message, not helped by the fact that you have hitched a ride on the end of a continuing conversation about fixing problems for someone else.
If you want help sorting out your own router, then I recommend starting a fresh conversation.
I'll just stick with answering this bit.

Your research around here did not track down the well known stuff on those fake DoS attacks.
Search - NETGEAR Communities – DoS attacks
In essence, it has nothing to do with firmware.
Netgear's firmware is great at creating false reports of DoS attacks. Many of them are no such thing.
Use Whois.net to see who is behind some of them and you may find that they are from places like Facebook, Google, even your ISP. Maybe that is what you did. I just throw that in for completeness.
Here is a useful tool for that task:
IPNetInfo: Retrieve IP Address Information from WHOIS servers
In other words, they are nothing to worry about.
However, if these events are slowing down your router, that may be because it is using up processor time as it writes the events to your logs.
Anything that uses processor power – event logging, QoS management, traffic metering – may cause slowdowns. Disable logging of DoS attacks and see if that reduces the problem. This does not prevent the router from protecting you from the outside world.
Just one other point from your long screed.
Checked firmware for any updates. All up to date. OK – makes sense, it updated on initial install.
Without knowing how you checked for updates, we have no idea if you really have the latest. The only way to know is to tell the firmware version on your device.
That is because there are several ways of checking for new firmware. Not all of them are as reliable or up to date as they might be. The best option is to visit the support pages for the router and loom at the list of releases there. Then, if there is something newer than you already have, perform a manual update.

Re: Drop connection
Yeah, I had several tabs open, meant to post to another page. Didn't see a way to delete it.
Now that that's worked out... you are babbling. Are you actually here to help folks work out their router issues?
" numerous DoS attacks from legit IP’s "... means Yes, I know they are bogus, thus the work "legit". I don't think that fastly.com is trying to hack little ol me.
That tripe about firmware sounds exactly like something some dolt in customer support would say.
This thread is non-sense and useless. Yes, I posted here by accident. What's your excuse?

Re: Drop connection
IF it's been doing it regardless of FW version, probably your unit is faulty. If you have the option to return it to place of purchase, do so. If not, try contact NG support to see what your options are.

Don’t know if you read up before, I had the older firmware, and it was doing it. So I upgraded and it was still doing it, matter of fact I’ve updated I think twice now. I already know it didn’t work then, or prior and now.

Re: Drop connection
Well I presume NG support won't do anything. I would have contact NG support first thing when this first appeared. Being two years later, not sure if anything can be done. You can reach out to a forum moderator and see what your options are. Otherwise, you might look into getting something else.
