I'll start with the fact this issue is on the forum already in other posts but there does not seem to be a resolution.  I initially bought this router in June and everything worked great, but at a certain point, I can't remember exactly when, I started to have full connection drops every couple of days.  Devices can still contact the router (I can log in and changes settings) and the modem is still online, but the router and modem stop communicating.  Wired and Wireless connections do not have internet.  The only messages in the router's log is WAN/LAN ON/OFF messages when there is a connection issue.  Typically the WAN (Planet) light turns orange, but sometimes it stays green without connection.  I first thought that it was the Modem just being bad, but after testing it with Spectrum they determined that it wasn't a Modem issue, that the Modem had not dropped connection or kicked anything off.  Still, even though they said that, I requested another Modem because it was to the point I was resetting the Modem multiple times a day.  I get the new modem and it was good for about a day and we're back to daily drops again.

I have tried all of the solutions offered on this forum for this device to include turn it all off and on again, changing various settings including DNS servers, Cloning the MAC address, setting a daily router reboot, updating the firmware to the newest version, downgrading the firmware to a previous version, messing with QoS settings, getting a new modem, (Search the forum or google for AX50 connection issues to see all the things I've tried in detail)

I finally got tired of troubleshooting and felt like I exhausted all self help options and contacted support via chat.  After explaining all of this to the support agent I feel frustrated.  Why?  Because I was essentially told that when it loses connection again, to turn it off and turn it on again. 

To be fair I will explain the steps as written:

Do this only when the Planet light is orange on the Router.

Do the steps below with modem while Archer AX50 is powered ON and connected on modem.

1. turn off/unplug modem.

2. unscrew coaxial cable.

3. Turn on modem (leave the coaxial cable unscrew) wait for at least 30 seconds

4. screw back the coaxial cable.

Now given that I have tried about everything aside from spinning around 3 times and clapping my hands while standing on one leg, this was not a solution I was expecting.  I had explained that the modem had been reset daily and even replaced, and that includes removing coaxial cable.  I have seen IP refreshes during all the troubleshooting I had been doing.  So I simply and calmly asked the agent what we were hoping for here since it had already been done.  He said that it would refresh the IP and needed to be done exactly this way when the light turns orange.  I'm going to try it, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and try it exactly like this, but I have a suspicious that like everything else, nothing will magically fix itself here.

If a support agent pops in, my case number is 16183368.  I have a log from today to share if needed.

So what am I doing here?  Well, I'm hoping for something I haven't tried.  What I don't want to do is spend the next two weeks baby stepping my way through solutions that have been done like I was just given.  The last firmware update for this router was August.  Someone needs to try and figure out what this issue is here because if it's a bug, it needs to be fixed, if it's a faulty router, I'd love my money back as this isn't a $50 router I can just toss and buy a new one.

I apologize for getting a bit ranty here but this is months in the making and I'm beginning to think that I should just go right to support whenever I have an issue rather than try to troubleshoot everything on my own because support always goes right to turn it off and turn it on again solutions first.  Which I get it, you're supposed to go with the simplest first, I learned that when I was getting certified in A+ and Net+, but when I tell you that I've done it, maybe we shouldn't try that again.  Thank you if you've made it this far and are still willing to help.
