So I have my router set up in client mode and it is connected to an xfinitywifi hotspot and is bridging it to my local lan PCs. It has been working fine for a year now, but recently I'll lose internet connection on my PC and will have to reboot the router from the web interface.
This is very annoying to have to do all the time, so I'm wondering if anybody knows why this could be happening and what I can do to find a solution to the issue. I've tried flashing the latest dd-wrt firmware, but that didn't fix the issue. I kept the settings in tact though so it may be a problem with those. Any help is appreciated.

It won't fix the issue, but you can set up a Connection Watchdog to automatically reboot the router if it loses its internet connection. I would use an IP address such as OpenDNS servers, 208.67.222.222, with a time of 1000 seconds or 300 seconds. _________________ Before asking a question on the forums, update dd-wrt: Where do I download firmware?
