Hi Folks, I turn here as maybe a last resort, and hoping some experienced users or super-users might be able to share some opinions or light.
My problem is relatively simple to explain, although over multiple calls to ISPs, Asus, firmware updates, Merlin, etc, I am coming up short.
Kindly asking what might the expertise here say about this:
My cable ISP has shoddy service, with frequent short duration internet drops. My Technicolor TC4400 goes trough it's cycle, re-syncs, and shortly thereafter reestablishes the internet connection - on the modem.. When outages occur, the Asus AX58U also loses it's connection, but when reestablished on the modem, the router does not automatically reconnect. I have to either manually flip the internet connection off and on through the GUI, or power cycle the router via rear switch.
I have tried everything to resolve this.
Asus told me to clone the MAC address, to no avail, I am on the latest ASUS FW 3.0.0.4.384_10177 sadly same issue with Merlin RT-AX58U_384.19_0.. Factory resets, hard resets, I even swapped out the Technicolor earlier today - same behavior.
Even more troubling, is this issue is starting to affect my personal life; my girlfriend/neighbor shares this internet connection via WiFi, and now knows I have to physically restart the router manually to regain access - texting me out of bed, and causing all sorts of relationship problems. This is not good!
I've searched the forum, find much more complex issues, but nothing really similarly aligned - Would anyone have any suggestions as to how I might fix this, and get the router to automatically reconnect to a reestablished internet signal after drop??
Many thanks
Rick
