Switched around the ports now so we'll see how it goes when it happens again

Should I switch the ports in advance to see if the issue happens on different devices then or should I switch the ports while its happening?

So the issue might be that the router has a problem with the latter group of ports? Would there be a way to fix this if that's the case?

One time it happened I did try changing the ports around on the router but I only switched them inside the 5-8 port range are the 2 groups that important?

On the devices its set to auto, the router uses tripple 255, When I was trying static IP I did set the subnet mask as the same as on the router

I have tried forcing the devices to adopt a valid IP in the adapter options with and without also assigning the MAC address that static IP which even after restarting the device seems to have not worked, and even if I set up the static IP in advance that will still happen

But if it does happen again I will try to ping the router if possible

If they would just disappear that wouldn't be much of a problem but the internet not working anymore is, since it makes me unable to work from home when it does happen. Another thing I noticed is that when it does happen the IPV4 address you can find under "ipconfig" in the cmd changes to a...

Yeah they disappear from the client list and in the windows 10 interface they are shown as being "connected to the network" but without internet access, I haven't checked if the two devices can actually retain any network functionality

They are both wired up to the router and have no wi-fi built into their motherboards nor a wi-fi card installed so neither of them have the option to turn that off or on available

Nope, both of the devices being dropped are Windows 10 PC's all the IPV4 properties on every pc in the network are set to "Obtain Automatically" that includes the devices that get dropped and those that don't. All of the PC's are connected via ethernet btw

This is the syslog I just pulled off the router, happened again today at around 14 o' clock. The logs only start at 14 for the day to begin with, I have no clue why that is but I'm guessing the restart is at fault?

Config: RT-AC88U Asuswrt-Merlin V 384.19 Backstory: Before I switched to Merlin my router would randomly drop all wired connections at seemingly random intervals without any error messages, warnings or any way to fix it without restarting the router. This behavior completely stopped after...
