    [3004.388.5] No internet access for WIFI networks after some time

    Update: it helped …but I still had the odd disassociation. I moved the Wi-Fi extender into the hallway directly above the router and outside of the office where it was 3 m away. There‘s about 5m between the router/extender and just two flights of stairs which are wood. it’s possible that the...

    [3004.388.5] No internet access for WIFI networks after some time

    Thank you for responding. I’m quite far from other wifi signals… on the site survey, I’m certainly the top in the list and there doesn't appear to be channel conflict. the Extender is almost vertically above the router, just two floors up in a regular house with wooden joists and plasterboard...

    [3004.388.5] No internet access for WIFI networks after some time

    I'm struggling with WiFi disconnects too. I had an N66u with last Merlin on it, and recently had to upgrade the router - now have AX86U Pro, on 388.4 - I had 388.5 and .6 but they also exhibit the same issue. I saw some questions asked earlier, so I'll respond same here. The config is default...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    An Update. I switched over to the new SB6183. There were a few days of random disconnects. I switched cables (the old one and new both said CAT5e). I switched to a new RTN66U router (they changed the power supply, which was strange). None of this made any consistent difference. I set up a...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Thank you for that - I don't for now, I have double play. But I did have triple at some point in the past hence the current TC modem I guess. I canceled the SB6190 and went for the SB6183, as I read a whole bunch of problems with the Puma 6 latency issue, and nothing definitive about a fix...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Thanks for that - I looked at the AC68U and 86U, but right now, there are quite a few poor reviews and the cost differential is pretty high for what I need. I appreciate everyone has different experiences, but for me, the N66U has been without any problems for nearly three years. I'd be happy...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Thanks for that - the list from COMCAST is pretty long! I use a third party SIP provider for my voice (callcentric), so I had another look through the lists as I probably will never use the Voice service from COMCAST. I ended up choosing the ARRIS SURFboard SB6190...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Thanks for your response. I had a quick look through the forum and googled too, but don't see what you are referring to. Is there a recommended, inexpensive modem I could just buy to replace the COMCAST one I rent? I only need it to bridge to the ASUS as that has the features I want. Or...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Still suffering. But some updates if anyone has comments: I noticed that when my devices lost internet connectivity for new outbound attempts at websites etc (including when I logged into the router, I could not ping 8.8.8.8) ... a device which had an existing stream being sent to it over UDP...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Thank you again for responding so quickly. The modem is comcast supplied so should be 3.0 compliant. Otherwise it wouldn't sync in the first place? If i connect my laptop direct to the modem there is no drop for more than 24 hours. Its not the modem as far as I can tell. The dns change is...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Well, that still failed and the internet was not accessible until I restarted the wan interface. Well, my script detected it and did it, which seemed to restore access. That was less than 6 hours between a complete factory reset, reboot and it failing. Suggestions welcome. syslog attached...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Thank you for the replies. I have gone ahead with the factory reset. WRT PPTPD, no that is just a server I have enabled for remote connections to the ASUS. The COMCAST device is a Technicolor TC8305C. There is just the ASUS plugged into LAN1 on the back. The cable used is a Cat5e (label on...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Some updates - can someone tell me what this points to as the problem? I set a script to watch the WAN internet connectivity (via ping of 8.8.8.8) and when it failed the ping I issued a "service restart_wan". This caught the down event and restored it perfectly, without me needing to pull a...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Well, less than 24 hours. It did the same thing, so not the WAN MAC issue.

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    Thanks for the quick response. Its not the wifi that is the issue, its the lack of internet connectivity from the router outwards. I can login to the ASUS but any attempt to ping fails. Pulling the cable triggers a restart of the WAN interface on the ASUS and that fixes it. I had a look...

    RTN66U Losing internet - always solved by pulling cable??

    I've used Merlin on my RTN66U for a few years and recently updated to 380.68_4. That may be unrelated. My setup is, ASUS router connected to COMCAST modem. Now, once a day, but not at the same time, it loses internet connectivity. I have swapped the port used on the comcast modem. No...
