Frequent dropouts
Hey all,
Have been suffering from an issue with my internet for the past few months where randomly the internet will drop out. I use things like Discord to talk to friends and when it happens I can still hear them but they cant hear me, and my ping goes to the moon. Sometimes after these drops, I'll have a moment of extreme packet loss then it goes back to normal. I've noticed when it happens, on the System Log it states;
2024-12-21 14:47:14 Led Controller INFO [527] Start to run WAN1_ON
2024-12-21 14:47:14 Led Controller INFO [527] Start to run WAN0_OFF
2024-12-21 14:47:14 Led Controller INFO [527] Start to run LAN_ON

This is the only sign according to my router that something is wrong. Pings drop completely when testing to google. The example I pasted there is one of the longer ones, but they range anywhere from 10 seconds to nearly 2 minutes. I've toggled about every single option on the router on and off, rebooting does nothing to help. My options left are to buy a new modem or switch provider, but I want to see if there's anything i can do about this before i go to more expensive decisions. Any ideas?
