I still have this problem on my AX1500 v1.2 on the latest firmware 1.2.5 build 20220117
basically everyday at the same hour it would lose connection (orange light on device) sometimes for a couple of minutes, sometimes until I reboot it
my ISP is Suddenlink but I don't have a modem, I plug in the wall since my apartment takes care if internet

Hello @halseyst, thanks for following up.
Can you confirm if you are still having stable internet if you connect a PC directly to the cable from the wall bypass the router? If that still works properly, please login to the router web GUI to save and send us the router log to support.forum@tp-link.com with Forum ID 522208, then we will analyze further. Please be sure the router log do record the disconnect and reconnect behaviors.
