Losing internet every 10 days or so with Telus ISP and RT-AX86U (Merlin 3004.388.8_4)

Home security, remote access.

You may have to forward the port it uses on the ISP device or simply place your Asus WAN IP in DMZ. Other option is to connect this home security to the ISP device if this is practical and doable. This way the remote access will be limited to ISP device network only with your network behind Asus firewall. You'll still have access to it from your Asus network. Just an idea how to use double NAT as network segmentation.

Restarted the ISP (Telus) ONT/modem/router (NH20A) and put in bridge mode on 10G modem port again, then rebooted RT-AX86U, it got a new WAN-IP and is staying very stable over the last week.

...or simply place your Asus WAN IP in DMZ...

Hmm, an interesting idea, DMZ of what? ISP device in a bridge mode or a Asus router?

Did not do that. Most direct path is ISP modem in bridge mode (10G port) and then letting the Ausus router do the NAT. ASUS router gets the DHCP automatically from the bridged modem.
In my case that now works well now with both iPv4 and iPv6.

Some others are not so lucky and have to use workarounds.

DMZ of what?

Your own router WAN IP in ISP router DMZ. Saves manual port forwarding, if needed.
