    I'm sorry; I've been too embarrassed to ask, but I can't find any way to search posts by post number. "post #33" and dozens of variations return nothing useful in the search. Could you please provide the link that you reference, or help this n00b with how to search by post number?

    Update: Vendor (B&H Photo) refused to let me return, even though they agreed it was a defect not fixable by RMA, because it was 2 weeks past their 30-day return window, even though it was bought on Dec 23, and shipped from USA to Canada over the holiday period, and extensive testing was required...

    I've updated my original Reddit post with in-line notes and also added comments in the reply threads: Honestly, I don't feel like updating the SNB ASUS Forum one. I'm not interested in arguing with ASUS fanbois. This is open and shut to me.

    Agreed! Modem wan drops are being troubleshooted next. Once I'm absolutely certain the TP-Link AXE75 is stable, I'll swap out the TC4400 modem with the CGA4234DGW TekSavvy has already sent me, to see if it addresses the occasional short WAN drop issues. But, honestly, even if they remain, a...

    You lovely Merlin folk are far better connected with the ASUS firmware community. I don't have the sp00ns to fight the necessary battles to try to get ASUS to actually fix this. As was pointed out earlier, it's probably a very old bug from the Tomato era. I'm just going to try to return the...

    For those keeping track, I just swapped in the TP-Link Archer AXE75 AXE5400 model, 1-for-1 for the RT-BE96U, same cables, power source, connection to modem, and I didn't even reboot the modem... and it Just Works™. More testing to do, but for the moment, my theory that the ASUS DHCP WAN stack...

    Still waiting on TP-Link router to arrive and will post that testing, but, in the meantime, for those keeping track, today the RT-BE96U showed connected WAN, with an IP address in the 24.x range as expected, but none of the LAN clients (wired or wireless) had Internet access. This is a new...

    Yes, it does. I'll test it in both modes with both routers and report back.

    Yes, I know. I'll test in paired combinations and report back.

    Anecdotally, in case you guys do decide to try to chase down the WAN bug issues, at one point today, I factory reset the modem (TC4400) while the RT-BE96U was off, then turned on the RT-BE96U after the cable uplink had fully synched on the modem (plus several minutes grace time). The router...

    That is the one I ordered. Will update if it solves my issue. Also requested swap of my modem from TC4400 to CGA4234DGW, so that unlocks additional troubleshooting, such as double NAT (as it has built in router, whereas TC4400 didn't).

    Spent the whole day today dealing with "Your ISP's DHCP does not function properly" on the RT-BE-96U with all kinds of frackupery. Factory reset everything, started from scratch, and I'm now basically at the point that I believe ASUS's DHCP WAN implementation is fundamentally broken. I've been...

    WAN Reconnect Problems Across ASUS Routers / Firmware Versions

    Thanks for your reply. While I very much appreciate your attempts to diagnose the modem dropping, that's not my goal in this thread. I'll sort that out with my ISP. With regards to the ISP modem, The Technicolor TC4400 is modem only with no router capabilities (only passthrough), so there's no...

    I do so a lot of similarity to that thread in my experience, yes. Though it seems to talk about WAN cable /disconnect/. Would the same thing apply if the cables don't move but the uplink drops for a few seconds and then restores on the modem?

    Thank you for doing this digging. My googling suggested the same to me, but I don't have your experienced eye to narrow down the likely culprit components.
