These messages are considered normal. How many of these entries do you log in one day?
DHCP WARNING - Non-critical field invalid in response.
Nothing to worry about here. The DHCP server supplied an invalid field or value as seen by the modem. Your ISP could fix this but don't hold your breath waiting.

You shouldn't see the DHCP entry more than once every few days depending on how long the lease is. 4 times a day for the other messages might indicate a problem.

Can you post your TX and RX signal levels?

Try http://192.168.100.1/signal.html

If you can view the log page then the other diagnostic pages should be available.

Signal looks good.

If your modem is not dropping the connection and your up & down speeds are normal I wouldn't worry about it.

I see from your profile that you have InsightBB. They made some serious changes to their network a few months ago and I don't think they are done yet. Call and have them check your setup if your modem is dropping its connection.

Everything seems to be good expect for while gaming and i have had some big lag spikes. It will jump from 45 ms to around 190+ max 250ms then drop down to around 80 ms or so, some servers which i play on went from 9 hops and now when i do a tracert on the server it is at 16 hops.

Which i dont think there much that can be done about that.

Thanks
