Hopefully I can get some insight here to a problem I am having with my internet disconnecting multiple times a day (15+ times) at all times. The router is the ASUS RT-AX58U and my modem is a netgear CM1200. I will try to give as much info as I can but let me know if I should post anything.
Apartment thats around 1000 sqft modem/router next to each other centrally located in apartment, cox internet, 3 hard wired devices and around 10 more devices connected wirelessly. Router and modem are coming up on 2 years old IIRC
It has been happening for around a month or two but at first it was only at night and happened once a night if that. Now it is happening so many times a day I lose count. When I lose connection, the red light on the ax58u shows red and the downstream light on modem will flash. To get the internet back I sometimes have to reboot the router or it will happen automatically after around 5-10 seconds. I have seen (just watched the light turn red and white) the router disconnect/reconnect 5-10 times in a 2 minute window before.
Trying to figure this out as me and my son use this for work/school, so this might be a simple thing like the "buy a different router/modem" lol but can anyone suggest what I can look at to diagnose what is the culprit behind this? Maybe it isnt even the router and I'm looking at the wrong thing?
Thanks for any help/insight you guys can give.
