Frequent "failed to obtain the IP address for WAN because no response from the server."
WAN and WAN/LAN1 each connected to a Netgear M5. WAN's connection to Telstra, WAN/LAN1's connection to Optus.
From time to time (at least once a day if not multiple times a day), in particular WAN, connection dropped off like below.
Is there something wrong with the router's firmware?

check your phy connection. and it is likely to be a prob with your isp. phone your isp and ask if your line or their server is ok. 
to your question, not seems to be a firmware issue. make sure your isp's fine. then you consider something else. router just dials the internet it does not do anything else.
