Two weeks with our new Sagemcom Fast 5688W Gateway.
We started our Home Internet service with the Nokia round trash can (rightfully named). I had two of those. Both responded the same way. The Nokia gateway was fast but would lose its connection about...
So what that sounds like to me is that when the gateway is not responding it may not be updating its DNS information. If the client i.e. laptop/pc has the DNS configured NOT directed to the gateway IP address then it should not suffer issues with DNS resolution. When I have seen my gateway with both cellular signals and client's reporting "no internet connectivity" though they are connected to the wireless network via the gateway my response is/was to hard set the DNS server information for the network interface connection on the client. This commonly resolves the problem. The DNS is commonly changed on the client's network interface as an advanced IP address configuration. I remove the GW address and add two different DNS servers. 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 - 9.9.9.9 or Cloud Flare 1.1.1.1 in place of the 192.168.12.1 gateway address. IF the problem is due to DNS failure from the gateway this will resolve the problem.
