Rosales217 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I’ve been having this problem on my r2 where my wifi just randomly stops working. The router still gives out a signal but with no internet connection. A quick reboot fixes it, but then it stops working again. Happens randomly, multiple times a week, sometimes even multiple times a day and I don’t know why it’s happening or what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisa Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hello, I used to have the R1 and have this same problem but since I started using R2 have not had this happen. However, last night my speeds were crawling at 1 DL and I called my ISP, we did some troubleshooting which ended up involving factory reset of both my modem and router only to find out it was an ISP problem. So service in my area went down while they worked on it and when I got up this morning I had ethernet but no wifi. So I restarted my router and everything worked perfectly. About an hour or so later I had no wifi and restarting has not fixed the issue. The device manager shows 2.4 as offline but 5 as onine but, still no internet connection. Could you please provide some suggestions to get this back up and running? Thanks so much for your time! Oh and yes I have the latest firmware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After following those steps my wifi hasn’t randomly stop working, but then again I’ve only recently updated yesterday so only time will tell if the issue persists.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 31, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 31, 2020 The new firmware has lots of new fixes, including for WiFi and should therefore help with the issues you're having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I understand. It's just that I put at the end of my original post that I had already downloaded the new firmware. All good now though, I had someone come over and work on it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosales217 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Im still having the same problem of my r2 router disconnecting from the internet. Still happens randomly and I have to reboot multiple times before it connects back to the internet. I’ve reinstalled the latest firmware and have done multiple factory resets which helps for a couple of days but then the problem shows up again. I’ve switched back to my old rax 35 router and ran it for a week to see if it would disconnect but it hasn’t. So that rules out the modem being the issue for me. Idk what else to try, any tips?

Here are the tips I have at the moment until a new firmware is available (which we're testing now): Move router away from any electrical devices in the immediate vicinity Make sure it's on a surface where it won't easily overheat Change DHCP Lease hours to 168 Disable Syn Flood Protection Disable Mirror Mode for WiFi - give 2.4/5GHz a different name Give devices reserved/static IPs in LAN Settings Give the R2 a static/reserved WAN IP either in WAN Settings or on the ISP modem/router (if applicable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve followed all the tips you gave me except for giving the R2 static ip (can’t change it). Will let you know if they’ve helped. Thanks again!

Mbar Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 so i commented on another thread with this same problem. I was told that the new firmware with a factory reset would help, it didnt. I keep getting kicked off the internet, wifi or hard wired. I am losing tournaments because of it. I am getting very frustrated and am ready to just trash this router.

I am getting very frustrated and am ready to just trash this router. Same, it’s very annoying because i constantly have to either reboot or factory reset and go through and set up all the settings again, so far today alone i’ve had to factory reset the router twice and reboot at least four times by now. I’ve followed the tips fraser gave me but so far none of them have worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 24, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2020 If you've tried all my suggestions and they don't work you can request a replacement via email if it's causing too many issues where you can't wait for the next update.

Rosales217 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 I’ve noticed my router tends to disconnect from the internet when 2 gaming consoles are on at the same time. My router still disconnects from time to time on it’s own but I’ve noticed it disconnects more frequently when 2 consoles are on at the same time. Any reason why???

Are they both being prioritized by Traffic Prioritization? Are they connected via the same method i.e. both wifi or both ethernet? Are they both being Geo-Filtered?

They’re both wired via ethernet, only one is geo filtered (mine) ,but I usually change it to circle mode if i have trouble connecting to a lobby. Only of the consoles is being prioritized (mine).
