    So I updated to Firmware V1.4.0.10 5 days ago.  So far no internet drops :smileyhappy:

Windsaga:

The ISP is Mediacom the router has been configured as DHCP. The Ping test result for the largest non-fragmented packge size is 1472 so I  am using the default MTU 1500.

The modem model name is R8000P Nighthawk X6S-AC4000 Tri-Band WiFi Router.

I do have an Seagate external hard drive connect to the Router through USB3 port. which contains media files

The router has the newerst Firmware 1.3.0.8
