I have a TP-Link TL-WDR4300 v1 flashed with the pre-build LEDE image (LEDE Reboot 17.01.2 r3435-65eec8bd5f / LuCI lede-17.01 branch (git-17.152.82987-7f6fc16)
Every number of days (not sure how many days) I'm loosing network connectivity from my router to the internet. Ping, nslookup, etc from my router to any public address does not work anymore. After restarting the network service, everything seems to be working again.
Was wondering if this is a bug in the firmware? Or which logging might be relevant for this? Hopefully I'm placing this on the right forum section, but please let me know if I should ask it somewhere else, e.g. on the mailing list.
Hello. I have the same issue on Archer C7 v2 running 17.01.2. If my memory serves, I had the same problem on 17.01 as well. I can get things working again either by power cycling the router or the cable modem. I originally thought it might be a problem with SQM, but it seems to happen whether or not I have that enabled.
It didn't happen for quite a while, but the issued appeared again. My WAN is configured using DHCP from my ISP. It could be related, as I think the problems occurs when I haven't been home in a while, and that might be when I receive a new IP address from my ISP. I have copied the requested output below.

Restarting the network interface seems to restore internet connection:
The issue occurred again and I had to restart the network service. I didn't noticed any errors in logread and I was wondering if there is some more logging I can enable or that could be relevant for this.
