mistaguy1 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Got the NetDuma R2 last week. It works fine for maybe like 8 - 12 hours and then the wifi just stops working. It's happened 3 times now. Turning it off and on brings it back up so it's not a huge issue, but a lot of us WFH right now cause of covid so it can be annoying if we're in meetings. Any suggestions? Thanks! Modem is Arris Surfboard SB6190, ISP is WaveBroadband - Gigabit, Located in SF Bay Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear this, is it just the Wi-Fi that's disconnecting? Are you still able to access the interface when the connection drops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistaguy1 Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Yes, Just wifi. The modem is fine because the lights on the modem indicate theres wifi. No I cannot access the interface. Also, it’s happening more frequently now, pretty annoying. I’ve tried doing hard reset twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 30, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 30, 2021 Hey, welcome to the forum! Have you changed any WiFi settings other than the SSID and Password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistaguy1 Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 yeah I just split out the wifi into a 2G and 5G, that’s it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 30, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 30, 2021 Okay do this please and see if it is more stable afterwards: Disable WiFi completely, save, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes then, enable WiFi, save, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes before connecting.

mistaguy1 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Hi, Just got the same issue after following those steps. My 2G and 5G networks just say no internet connection. Same when I’m directly plugged into the router. Rebooting it fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having the same issue Wifi daily . I'm constantly having to restart my NetdumaR2 in order to get my Wifi back up. same was happening to my Netduma R1 so I got the R2. I just replaced my modern to Arris Surfboard SB6190. I had my ISP replace all of my lines. so only thing left in the NetdumaR2 Oh btw the interface is so laggy and sometimes doesn't load.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 31, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2021 Do you have a dynamic or static public IP? Do you know how long your ISP lease time is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting DHCP lease hours on the R2 to 168 could help though so please try that the both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistaguy1 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 can I get a replacement or do you think that won’t help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 31, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2021 It is an issue we're aware of so a replacement wouldn't be a guarantee that the issue wouldn't occur though not everyone has it. Lets see how you get on and we can authorize a replacement if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistaguy1 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Do you have a dynamic or static public IP? Do you know how long your ISP lease time is? I'm not sure how to check this, probably a static public IP. I haven't done any configuration. I also don't know what my ISP lease time is.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted March 31, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 31, 2021 I can see your IP has changed with this latest post, based on your first post your lease seems to be about 48 hours. So as you said the issue occurs every 12 hours or so unlikely to be the main cause but to double check do you have another router you could put in between the modem and R2 to see if you go longer without the issue?

mistaguy1 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 After setting DHCP lease hours to 168, it definitely does look like it helped. I'm still disconnecting but after about a day and a half. Unfortunately this is still occurring so I think I'll be returning the router. I appreciate all the help from you guys!
