R7000, F/W V1.0.5.70, Time Sync approximately every 1 and 1/2 hour.
I reported this to ElaineM a few weeks ago with no answer other than she'll contact support. This started a few weeks ago. This is a snippet of my log with no deletions:

Prior to this happening it happened no more than twice a day. Also occasionally I see a DISCONNECT before the sync...

what exactly is the problem? Most other firmwares from other brands also sync every hour
Not a problem per se. Just that it CHANGED from before, the prior Official F/W (V1.0.4.30) and 2 prior Beta's. Under the last Official F/W and the first beta for this latest F/W it was about every 14 hours, and always had a DISCONNECT a second or so prior to the connect and sync. On the last beta no disconnect showing in the log, and then, somewhere during using that beta the 1 1/2 period started. I am NOT seeing any problems or degradation but all I want to know is 'why?' did it change? Was it my router causing this and possibly a pre-cursor of a router problem, did the NG time server start giving out shorter leases, or something else, like the F/W code changed?
Do you see in the log the time sync and if so, what is the period for sync'ing?
