Fibre Router

Kappie 17 said:
Hi guys. I’ve been experiencing a highly irritating issue with my router recently. Every few days (sometimes daily), I lose my internet connection when connected to my router. There is absolutely no issue with my fibre line. Each time I lose this connection, I need to reboot my router to regain connection. When I try to connect to the router BEFORE rebooting, my browser identifies some sort of IP address error or clash. I’m not sure if this has something to do with “lease” settings or the like, but it’s incredibly frustrating and if anyone knows what could be causing this, I’d greatly appreciate some feedback. Thanks!

What router model are you using? Is it possible that you may have 2 devices on your network that has a built in DHCP server?

It’s a Tenda AC18 (1900Mbps). I’m not even sure - how would one determine the DHCP server existence?

Sometimes people will use another WiFi router just as a WiFi access point and forget to disable the DHCP server on the AP router and will get wierd IP subnet issues. But if you only have 1 router on your network then it is unlikely you have this issue
 
Also look for routers with MU-MIMO if you have a 2+ household with lots of devices :)

Here's a fairly extensive test of MU-MIMO, which seems to provide pretty clear evidence that it's not something most people would want to spend extra money on at present. The nutshell TLDR:

- You need both MU-MIMO enabled routers and devices to benefit from MU-MIMO
- You need at least two MU-MIMO devices to get any benefit from MU-MIMO
