There could be a number of weird things going on. Ive seen strange things happen to routers even when just the back end of the isp was changed.

Of course this can only confirm an issue with just the router or if there is something about the partuclar modem/router setup.

So is it a hardware issue? I don't have two ISPs just one. Not sure how I can test with two ISPs
To determine if it's a hardware issue, you'll need to connect it to a switch in between the fvs and your modem. If it's dropping connection to the switch (a dumb unmanaged switch), then more than likely the fvs has a hardware issue or a auto speed/duplex problem, the latter of which could be worked around by manually setting the speed/duplex.
