SpikesOtherDog comments on Every so often i lose internet and have to restart router

It seems to happen maybe once a month or every 2 months. Sometimes random. Is it my ISP renewing my IP? How can I check that?

Im on all unifi hardware. Not a total noob but I struggle with the concepts.

Track the symptoms.

Do you lose Wi-Fi completely? Only? Can weird devices connect?

Can you communicate with anything on your network?

Can you ping your gateway? Your external IP address?

Can you determine when your IP leases expired?

What if you reset just your ISP hardware? Just your hardware?

Connection from router to isp is lost. I only reset my router, not the modem.

How do I see when ip leases expire ? Either from linux or the unifi gui..

I'm not familiar with the unifi interface, but hopefully it should provide that information.
