any point of buying a wifi 6 router if the ont/onu is limited by 200mbps

[Lolita_Magnum]

Can you check if you are incurring the same issue when connecting via ethernet? Disable wifi or don't connect any devices except one device and that is through the cable. Also share logs, if Tenda router has one.

won't be able to connect through ethernet because on macbook and do not have any other system with me. will see how can i find the router logs.

@Lolita_Magnum these are some logs. But at the moment I am unable to pinpoint the time when my internet was gone with this log file. at this moment the time in the router is:

[Lolita_Magnum]

system Serial link appears to be disconnected.

This seems to be the underlying issue, might need more research on that.

@inceptioncandy This is not all the wan-configs. Do you see anything related to connection keep-alive??

 

[inceptioncandy]

@Lolita_Magnum couldn't find the keep-alive settings in the http://192.168.0.1/index.html UI page.

 

[ssrahul96]

if you have more than 10 devices at home, and most of them support wifi6, then better get a wifi6 router, it provides better latency and speed when many wifi devices are connected.

 

[inceptioncandy]

@Lolita_Magnum mostly the connection drop occurs when I am on google meet(at least thats when I notice it because I have to say hello hello a hundred times ). can you think of any reason why it's happening with google meet?

 

[inceptioncandy]

@ssrahul96 I am more leaning toward wifi6 day by day although I only have 3 devices to connect. My LCO keeps spinning me round and round that I should buy an ONT(router cum wifi) instead of ONU + my custom router. He keeps insisting that this will solve my connection drop problem.
