Randomly users lose internet for no reason. They only way to get back on is to disconnect and reconnect. The following is my hardware details:
G210 (SFOS 16.05.4 MR-4)
AP Firmware : 8.0.001 AP55C

Same Problem here with mr5.
I think it´s a problem with the DNS Server. VPN is stable only webpage access doesn´t go after 1-2 days.
Now I changed from ISP DNS-Server to static DNS an take the google DNS-Servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as static DNS Servers.
Now webpage access is stable for 3 days.
I think this solution solved my Problem.

I am back to MR3. And I agree, it seems to be the DNS server. A restart of the DNS service helps in my case. For both, the XG appliance and network clients.
My system is affected although its DNS is customized with Static DNS Server addresses from my provider. MR4 and MR5 show above mentioned behavior.
I am curious and I am going to check it again, with one little change in my settings:
I did maintain the last/3rd entry for a static DNS with the IP address of the XG appliance (LAN) itself. Only if I applied it that way, I could nslookup DNS entries from my internal LAN from within the XG gui. I just deleted this entry and found out, that network clients still resolve names, even if static DNS entries only refer to public DNSs.
In test mode for MR5 now :D
DNS stopped working again. And it seems, that DNS server gets killed if a VPN Cisco connection is opened. Check this thread, which DomNik initiated: DNS Server stops working for LAN Zones after Cisco VPN is established . I tested it just now and can confirm the problem.
It would be great to see whether you too can replicate this behavior or potential root cause.
Thanks
