Nighthawk R7450 Router losing Internet connection daily
Within the past month ive been having issues with my Nighthawk R7450 Router Disconnecting from the internet daily and I have to reboot. I bought this router last year black friday and have not had an...
So the tech came out and checked the lines. There was a lot of noise in the lines and they replaced all the lines to the house and I have been problem free since. Lines were the problem. Thanks for your replys guys.
I agree with plemans there are some errors on the line. Have never seen a line run without errors and I have seen lots, but the number you are having I would not expect to cause losing connection or performance when you look at ratio of errors to total traffic.
Have seen some folks here think that the DHCP process between the modem and the router causes issues. Properly working DHCP should not cause any outage. You are experiencing DHCP lease renewals on your clients all the time, probably every 12 hours, and am guessing you never noticed. Most Netgear routers have a lease time of 24 hours. Lease renewal occurs at 1/2 the lease time and it is just the connected client saying I have this IP address is that OK? DHCP server responds yup. Never a drop in connection on the client and that is how the modem and router should work as well. When I had AT&T UVerse the lease time was 30 minutes so renew was every 15 minutes. Was running a Linksys WRT3200 with OpenWRT on it and never had a drop.
Youre right before this I never knew anything about lease time and how all that works just noticed when it expired one night is when I had the problem. I have a tech coming out tommorow to look at the line so I will update after that. I also incresed my speed today I was running at 100 down and 10 up now running 250 down and 20 up. Hopefully this problem gets solved its annoying to have to reset the modem and router daily because it disconnects from the internet. Thanks for the replys.
