Still needs hard reset after 8 hours

Before hard resetting set a static I.p on pc and see if that recovers connection? Or after a hard reset?

Try before - it should just work after a reset without that

Holy **** it worked....I changed what you asked and instantly came back online with access to the Web interface!

 

So what was the issue so I can learn to fix it myself in future?

It's possible the DHCP lease is renewing and for some reason the device just isn't taking the new IP address - so you could increase the DHCP lease time to 10000 minutes, this may reduce it happening to once a week. Otherwise setting reserved IPs for each device on the router may prevent it happening entirely.

i have dhcp disabled, because i was getting double nat, prior to this firmware, checked now and is open so, great!

turned it back on, and have changed lease time to 10000 minutes and reserved i.p for the p.c.

ill let you know when i happens again.

 

but for future reference, if/when it happens asgain, do i change i.p as you mentioned before in the p.c's i.p settings or hard reset and start again for the week? i mean i dont mind a weekly hard reset, daily every 8 hours was killing me, very happy this is sorted! ggs!

Ah, that'll be it then, after you disabled DHCP did you not give reserved IPs to your devices? They won't be able to connect without them if you've disabled DHCP. You also don't need to disable DHCP on the R3 to get an Open NAT.

If it's what I mentioned then just keep DHCP enabled/give all devices reserved IPs and you'll be good.
