LAN Ports dropping on RBR40
First. I have an RBR40, not a 20. The 40 is not in the list to select from. For the past few days, every hour on the hour, the LAN ports drop on the router. The satellites seem to be fine. ...
The current firmware on the main router is V2.6.1.36, and the satellites are on 2.6.1.38. A factory reset has been done after the firmware was updated.
The router is connected to an Arris SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0 modem
I have replaced the cable between the router and 1 of the devices and the issue is still happening
Devices hardwired to the RBS's are not affected. I currently have a smart TV connected to one of them and it does not have any issues. It appears to be only affecting the RBR40.
You might try manually downgrading FW to v16 on both RBR and RBS. Factory reset after applying to the RBS then RBR lastly and setup from scratch.
Your ISP Modem has a known problem:

I ordered a new modem. Waiting for it to be delivered. New modem is a Motorola MB8611 which has a Broadcom chipset.
It will be here Saturday. I'll post an update after its installed
Sounds good. Let us know.
