Interesting so far today. I am still running the latest firmware and hotfix 118. I set my DNS to 1.1.1.1,1.0.0.1 and had no reset issues all day until about 45 min ago when my router completely reset itself back to factory (first time the router did this). I will keep it as default for now and report back.

My router literally just reset to Factory Default around the same time as yours. Not exactly sure what’s going on here. Still running Firmware 1.114 when it happened, have held off pulling down the 118 Hotfix after rebuilding my setting. Any ideas?
- gregonometryMar 21, 2020GuideMine did that sudden spontaneous factory reset last night around 10pm PST. Also, in case there's a common thread my provider is CenturyLink.

- Kicks10Mar 21, 2020GuideI have Comcast but I don't think that's the issue because I was able to test remotely at the router using the app and see that I still had internet hardwired just not with WiFi. I also have a small home nas that was still online and hardwired. Since my router factory reset itself, I have not had any issues. I'll report again after a full day of testing.

Perhaps the internet is under a bit of pressure at the moment with many working from home.
ive noticed some disconnects, I can see the logs show multiple disconnects and reconnects before the connection goes stale.
as my issue is only recent and reading about companies like Netflix lowering data I would say my issues relate to my isp and the pressure on their network.
