I moved recently and went back to My Republic as before at my previous place before the one I was just at we were with MR and had basically no issues.

I moved in with friends for a year and was on Voyager, then moved and am back on MR.

Recently MR must have reduced the DHCP lease time to weekly as every 7 days without fail my Internet drops and won't come back till I've rebooted either the router or the ONT.

This is a massive pain as I'm usually at work when this happens and I host a plex server, the Internet drops at 11 or 12 while I'm at work and I don't get home till 8pm, so there's 8/9hrs where my server is offline.

MR say its my issue but when they had DHCP leases at a month my router would pick it back up immediately and we had around 2 seconds drop rather than hours.

I'm this close to ditching MR and changing to Quic or another PPPoE network with affordable static IP

cokemaster: Fair to say something is wrong, although whether it’s client side or server side - jury is out.

 

I am honestly thinking something is wrong on the ISP end. TP-Link firmware is rather good from experience so I don't think it would fail a renewal on a lease expiry. I've personally experienced weird DHCP issues with MyRepublic via other people (my neighbor who was on them a few years ago) and in the end we gave up and he shifted to Vodafone and has not had an issue since.
