Image below is from my RT-AX88U running Merlin 384.14_0 (to be clear, this was happening before Merlin too). I've been chasing this issue for about 2 months. Prior to the AX we an AC87U for about 5 years. I blamed the router and bought a new one....problem persists. I've done factory resets on the router(s) and modem and made sure the modem has the latest firmware. Next step is to try to test my DSL line quality and ask CL for a new modem, because I'm starting to feel like it MIGHT be an issue on the WAN side of my router not my router.
What's somewhat misleading to me is the modem (in bridge mode) only has 4 lights that are on, which is how it should be:
What's strange about the log below is that the time between the link being DOWN and UP again is always very minimal (seconds) but the red light on the router stays on a lot longer. It can be minutes or hours before suddenly the red light is white and we "have internet" however when looking at the log, there's nothing that coincides with internet returning.
Any help or suggestions? This is pretty frustrating. CenturyLink DSL is the only option where we live unless I were to try HughesNet....my hands are tied.

- Power
- DSL1
- DSL2
- WAN/LAN
