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!

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.
