@intelligo : I would check to make sure your modem is provisioned properly. I have had some very strange provisioning issues that xfinity hasn't offered any info on. As an alternative, you may want to look into the MAC clone feature on your router and use your laptop's MAC addr to test if...

@redline122 : I have never tried NextDNS. It does sound interesting. I run unbound w/ my setup. Can you run nextdns after reboot, or execute 'which nextdns'? install.sh#L294 - If you can't find anything, make sure your USB is mounting and linked properly, 'ls -l /tmp|grep opt'. Good luck and...

@MrRederick : Thanks for the input. Xfinity does also use DOCSIS. Apparently, changing the frequency on my end exacerbated the issue. At first, I tried different parameters and finally realized the issue was "the script" that was being called that would knock out connectivity. Even though I...

I do modify the timeouts on my end slightly just to make things more efficient, but there really shouldn't be a need. Decades ago, we would change the religiously on servers with lots of connections and tighter resource constraints. Good news that you got it working. BTW, I have DoS protection...

Where possible maybe you can have the client connect by BSSID? There is also Smart Connect on some Asus gear where PHY thresholds may work for you which I haven't had enough experience with yet. In problem areas, can you get away with a low 2.4GHz channel? I feel your pain. Best of luck!

Greetings, To make troubleshooting easier, I would stick with one method. You can go with the static rule or UPnP. I would then compare the "System Log - Port Forwarding" page for the rule when it is working and again when it stops working. When it stops working, does that imply no new...

There could be some mismatch between what your Plex server is advertising and how the firewall is configured. [WAN] How to set up Virtual Server/ Port Forwarding on ASUS Router? | Official Support | ASUS Global Usually, the first Plex server listens on 32400 (local port). However, the public...

I experienced similar symptoms with a different ISP, Xfinity. It has been almost a decade that I enjoyed being in FiOS. Have a look at a recent post to see if is the same problem. The workaround for me was to try running udhcpc w/o the -s switch. That reduced the constant restarts every few...

If you constantly see the DHCP failures in the logs and router resets, a possible workaround could be to relaunch udhcpc w/o -s /tmp/udhcpc. To try a different client and obtain different logging, I swapped out udhcpc for ISC's dhclient. Packet captures and logs from both clients indicate the...

Would you anyone know if it is possible to prevent roamast from launching, or recover from a crash? service restart_net_and_phy and reboot didn't seem to work. I had to power-cycle the modem. I realized the crash last night stopped routing to the Internet. I have seem these crashes before and...
