Router Dropping Internet Connection XR500

My connection keeps constantly dropping and is very slow I checked to see if my router needs and update and its on the lastest firmware v2.3.2.40 I can't find any solution to this and it's just very irritating just because not only do I experince lag in game but I just get kicked out because the internet just stops working out of nowhere

      I installed the new firmware earlier today to attempt to solve this same issue and am now showing version V2.3.2.40-C424a

      However 6 Hours later I'm seeing the same issue crop up again. When it happensthe logs show:

      I spoke with my internet provider earlier today about this issue and they were insistent that the internet outage was 100% on my router as they've never seen any type of drop from my Modem for over 30 days. I tried disabling the DoS protection right as the issue occured but it continued to connect and disconnect just like it has been doing to me for months. The internet goes out for 10 - 40 seconds and then comes back, see here my logs from "Net Uptime Monitor"

      This is very upsetting to find out that my internet troubles can't be blamed on "the man" but my $300 router! Please help me solve this before I'm forced to Buy a different router and attempt to sell this one to recoup some of my losses.
