Hey everyone! Let's get right to it. So basically, 5 days ago I purchased a brand new router as my old router was dying. Link to router. And everything was working rock solid no disconnects for a few days until yesterday. Yesterday, I kept getting disconnects. Power cycling my modem and router was the only way to get everything back online. And after maybe 30 minutes or so it's like my internet connection would slowly die.
For example, I would be watching a stream on Twitch and all of a sudden the stream has to buffer. And then once I notice it starting to do that it gets worse and worse till my connection is just completely gone. I tried it while downloading a Steam game too. And the download literally went from 7mb/s to 0 over a period of time. It's the craziest way I've seen internet disconnect. Usually, internet goes out all at once and not like that. Also, if needed this is my modem.
Furthermore, I am running DD WRT on the router instead of the stock firmware as I'm just used to dd wrt and I knew ahead of time it was compatible with this router. Any help narrowing down what the issue is with my network and what is causing these slow downs would be much appreciated.
I can provide any further information if needed.
