Do you have a nother PC that you can test with by chance? Yes, same thing happens on other PC's as well.
I don't see this when I had my RBK50 online last week, though I play on xbox.
Do you have any Armor, Circle or IPv6 enabled on the RBR? No armor, IPv6 is enable but i troubleshooted this setting on/off, no effect on solving problem.
Sounds like there maybe a problem between game, RBR and modem.
Additional, per the log entry i provided last time, I took a shot at disabling UPnP. This definitely solved the problem. I am 4 days plus of nightly gaming into the change and not a single disconnect. It begs the question what value this feature provides when all my devices in home work without enabling this setting?
Sounds like something in uPnP and ports on your PC is getting hosed up with this enabled. I've always used uPnP with my two game consoles and NAT Filter set to OPEN and have never had any problems. NAT Filter set to Secure as well.
As meantioned if you don't see any other problems with uPnP, then disable it. If you notice some device connections are being problematic, then try to re-enable it to test. Or set up a manual Port Forward configuration for the device having problem, if needed.
You might try Voxels FW as well later on if you feel so inclinded:

You can revert back to stock FW if it doesn't work out for you.
