I've decided to give the R2 another go (actually this like my 10th time lol) and see if the latest firmware would resolve the most glaring issue I've had with it since I've purchased it: complete loss of WAN connectivity every few days until power cycled.
Had a good 5 day run and it happened again @ 7AM EST, when little traffic is going through my network. I completely factory reset the unit when installed the firmware.
When this occurs, I cannot access the GUI. No webpages load. My NAS server and my Raspberry Pi are still accessible on my LAN but nothing via the internet works.
IPV6 and WiFi are off.
I have Spectrum Cable internet rated 400 down and 20 up.
I have about 55 devices total.
Adblock and Hyrbid VPN are in use
QoS is always on with 94% on download and 80% on upload. (376 mbps down and 16 mbps up respectively), Only Apex Legends is turned on for my main PC on the prioritization section.
DHCP time is set to 168 hours.
UPNP is on.
So, I outlined all that above in hopes of skipping some of the usual back and forth of trying X items and seeing how it goes.
I have 3 R2's (purchased one, RMA'd it, got sent 2 for some reason and was told to keep my original and the other units) and each of them have exhibited the same WAN disconnect behavior. I've tried two different cable modems with the unit as well with the same behavior, the Motorola MB8611 and Arris SB8200.
All of this leads me to my question: How can I retrieve useful logs to see what's happening when considering what I noted above?
