firmware version is V2.3.2.40
ISP modem is huawei hg8040h
Might reset, manual download v32, factory reset and setup from scratch and see.
can you please link me the update and how to install it ?

Do a reset before applying the FW update, then one after Step 6. "Wait for upgrade progress to complete." Set up from scratch by walking thru the setup wizard with a web browser.
