C6300 reboots at random times

I have been using the C6300 cable modem/router for about 5 months now.  This week I have found that it is rebooting itself at random times, usually once per day.   My service provider is Spectrum.  What can I check to find the cause and remedy this problem? 

Thanks,

OL

    Hello olerman01

     

    You can log into the modem and find the logs under Advanced-Administration-logs and post them here.

      Currently the log only contains the last 6 hours of activity and thus far I have had no reboots today.  The last known unexpected reboot occured on 6/6/17 at around noon local time.   Once it occurs again I'll export the log file.

       

      Thank You

        This just started happening again.  Reboot occured at around 12:15pm Central time.   I'm attaching the log files as screen shots.  I haven't been able to export them as email yet. 

         

        The thing that sticks out to me is that at 12:12 there appears to a remote login from 178.234.188.240:56718 to my local

        192.168.0.38:8000.  That .38 isn't a PC but a network hardware device. 

         

        I traced that remote IP and it's Russian.  WTF?  Are Russian hacking/attacking my home network?
