Need help for ASUS RT-AX56U + TP Link Deco S7 setup

Hi all,

Has anyone done a similar setup before? I have an Asus RT-AX56U setup using the following settings here with TP Link Deco S7 acting as access points. It used to work flawlessly but for the past few weeks, I have been getting random connection drops. When I checked the logs of the router, I see the following error. No other clear error logs after that.

WAN(0) Connection: Fail to connect with some issues.

I have tried googling it but no luck in figuring out the issue. Am I using the wrong settings for Sky Ireland? Any advice on the setup would be greatly appreciated. I would not like to go my Asus router to waste. I am using my Sky Hub again for now until I figure out what's happening with the random connection drops. Thank you!

@kentrovert

The most likely random reason it fails on the WAN side occasionally is ethernet cable to ONT is damaged or you have a fault on the FTTP connection to the broadband splitter/exchange in Ireland.

I'd change the ethernet cable between the router and ONT first, as a troubleshooting step and monitor.
