@EG    Just noticed in the logs that these three critical errors were logged on the same day and repeated 30 times between 02:25 and 02:30. It was about two weeks ago that this issue started so this could be related, or maybe just a coincedence. I'm in Florida so we do have lightening storms fwiw.   2019-09-26 02:29:28 3-Critical D003.0 DHCP WARNING - Non-critical field invalid in response 2019-09-26 02:25:32 3-Critical T002.0 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire FEC framing 2019-09-26 02:25:32 3-Critical T001.0 SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing   Only other logs since then are for occasional warnings like so:   2019-10-01 17:40:49 5-Warning B605.10 Map Reject - Downstream Traffic Flow Not Mapped to BPI+ SAID (EC=8)     ...

Everything has bluetooth turned off to avoid any conflicts and everything is running the latest firmware and updates. If I reboot the modem and router it gets back up fine for a little while until it drops again. ... View more
