    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    Update: As it seems switching the cable modem fixed my issues. Since then my Asus router no longer lost the WAN connection.

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    Modem (Arris SB6190, runs fine for 5 years) log shows nothing, and status UI does not report anything unusual. All LEDs are blue = Internet connection, and have been steady blue while my RT-AX86U Pro reports No WAN connection and shows a red LED. Today, it (no WAN connection with the red LED...

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    Cable modem, including coax cable from the wall outlet to the modem itself, and then the Ethernet cable to the Asus router: What should happen exactly (almost to the minute) every 24 hours to them that is causing this problem? Also, the LEDs on the cable modem don't show any error = lost...

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    Question - since my router reports no WAN connection every 24 hours at almost the same time/minute (although my DHCP lease from Comcast goes for 72 hours, and the Cable modem shows a perfectly working WAN connection): What is running in the Asus router / Merlin every 24 hours? I checked cron...

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    No matter what I set the DHCP frequency to, it doesn't change my problem. And no, I am not hammering Comcast's DHCP server with requests, as the lease time I get from them is 3 days - and my issues with my router reporting no WAN connection occurs every 24 hours at almost the same time/minute.

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    Not yet, since I have no 2nd RT-AX86U Pro. I'm working on it, or testing with another Asus router - as I am certain it is the router that's causing my issues. Proof: Restart my cable modem (when the problem with the router reporting no WAN connection exists) - no change. Restart my RT-AX86U...

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    Now I watched the problem closely, and unfortunately it keeps occurring. Interestingly enough every day at almost the same time... Having the log watches closely every day now I doubt that it's a Comcast DHCP issue that the Asus router can't handle properly. I don't even have related DHCP...

    Solved RT-AX86U Pro log repeats "WAN_Connection: WAN was restored" while red light keeps on and no Internet connection?

    Hi, Almost daily, if not more then daily (not sure exactly when it started, I somehow feel it started when I installed SkyNet...), my RT-AX86U Pro looses the WAN connection from the cable modem and cannot get it restored automatically. The red LED remains on and the router keeps stating "No...

    RT-AX86U Pro - no auto-reconnect after WAN connection restore?

    When further looking at my syslog the DHCP messages received from Xfinity don't hint to something broken on the DHCP side. Instead, there are several dnsmasq entries which also look ok to me. The only thing is that those messages repeat every 13 seconds or so, always starting with that...

    RT-AX86U Pro - no auto-reconnect after WAN connection restore?

    Thank you. I now have set the DHCP Query Frequently to continuous. With my previous RT-AX86U on the same modem and Xfinity account I never had this issue.

    RT-AX86U Pro - no auto-reconnect after WAN connection restore?

    Hi, Sometimes Xfinity loses connection for a short period of time, but after the WAN connection comes back (as indicated by the LEDs on the cable modem), my RT-AX86U Pro running Merlin 3004.388.5 does not automatically reconnect. While the WAN LED on the RT-AX86U Pro remains white, my WiFi...

    Best-practices for replacing ASUS RT-AX86U with ASUS RT-AX86U Pro (=moving everything from the existing router to a replacement one)?

    Thank you! While I understand that I have to manually configure my new router: Any way to easily move over my Skynet etc. settings? Any anything else that's on it.

    Best-practices for replacing ASUS RT-AX86U with ASUS RT-AX86U Pro (=moving everything from the existing router to a replacement one)?

    Hi, Since my current ASUS RT-AX86U starts having Wifi and WAN outages, I like to refresh my router - by replacing my current one with the ASUS RT-AX86U Pro . How to move all settings (AiMesh, Skynet etc.) best from my current one to my new router? Any best practices for how to do that best...
