I have had 4 different modem/wireless routers from 3 different vendors over a period of 3 years using Suddenlink. Three of them were my own purchase and one was a rental from Suddenlink. All of them reboot several times a day from 2 to 8 times, and the one I have now is 2-3 times a day. When I say reboot, I mean the 2g and 5g networks go away and reappear a couple minutes later. After they reappear, it takes another 3-4 minutes before I am connected to the internet again so each outage is about 6 minutes or so.
This is the current modem: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0764HVN5J/?tag=snbforums-20
For a long time I thought it was something at Suddenlink but each modem has it's own outage frequency and I am now thinking it might be something in my network. My network has 6 windows PC's all using DHCP on Window 10, 3 iOS devices, 1 smart TV, 1 access point, and 1 wireless printer. I also use 2 wireless connected Raspberry Pi's to control my sprinkler and misting systems. The only hiccup in this network is one of the PC's frequently complains about an IP address conflict. I have tried many different web suggestions to fixing that but none help. At this point, there are NO devices using a fixed IP address. and the only hard wired device via Ethernet cable is the access point.
What might cause this and how can I troubleshoot this problem?
