R8500 Constant WAN Internet disconnects/connects!

[mikegoldnj]

Did that when I was on call with cable company.  Seemed like the modem was still power cycling.

I suspect it's either the modem or signal issues with the cable company because, even when the internet connection drops, I still have WiFi connection to the router.

@mikegoldnj You are right. Either the modem itself or it's the signal that they sent out. Perhaps they can provide an onsite technician for testing.

Issue was with signal strength to modem.

Cable company corrected.

Glad to hear that it's now corrected by the ISP.

Same problem here (I started the thread) WAN disconnects.

Cable company came out and tested and replaced the Modem.

2 Hours later I had a WAN disconnect. RMA # 2 will be here today.

I never had this problem with the R7000!

So far the new Unit is good. I really now believe it was a hardware defect.

Thank you Netgear for the replacement unit.
