Over the past week I have been experiencing issues with random WAN disconnections. I am using the following equipment for my home internet connection:
Router: Asus TUF-AX3000 V2 (Firmware version 3.0.0.4.388.22525)
Modem: DrayTek Vigor166
The issue is occurring every couple of days but rebooting the router helps resolve the issue. In some cases, the WAN connection will be restored after a couple of minutes without a reboot. Most recently, it occurred last night and I noted the following when looking through the system log:
When the issue occurs, the WAN indicator on the Asus router turns red however the DrayTek modems DSL indicator light indicates that it is still connected to the internet. I have also gone into the DrayTek modem admin page and have not noted any interruptions in its uptime. As such, I don’t think the issue lies with the modem but seems to have something to do with the Asus router.
I have searched through the forum already and the following solutions for other people have not worked for me:
- I am unable to change the setting for “DHCP Query Frequency” within the WAN tab as this option is not listed.
- Network monitoring is disabled within the “Administration --> System” page.
Just wanted to make this post to see if anyone else has experienced this issue with Asus routers and if there is a potential fix.
