AX6000 Temporarily drops internet connectivity
I have been experiencing sporadic connectivity drops from multiple devices since adding this router to my home network. The sporadic loss of connectivity lasts just a few seconds and get re-established with no action on my part. The devices experience the drops equally if they are connected via wifi or via ethernet. The drops occur 3-5 times daily. This is really affecting my ability to work. Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or found a solution?
My network setup:
- Internet provider: Xfinity by Comcast
- Modem: Motorola MB8611
- Router: Archer AX6000 v2 wired directly to Modem
I have been logging the connectivity drops through repetitive pings to a public IP address and have correlated them to event logs on the router. It appears that the drops are associated with a partial reset of services on the router. A sample of my logs are pasted below.
