Telstra Nighthawk M1 Modem and Ethernet port stops working

[dapatter]

have been using this as my primary internet router for about 6 months or more. Just moved house, but using the same setup and now the ethernet port seems to shut down quite quickly and only re-enables for about 1 minute when I touch the power button on the modem, but then goes down again. This is the telstra specific firmware, see attached screen shot. Doesnt appear to be any errors and it doesnt look like this is a new firmware upgrade which happened recently? I am thinking faulty hardware? Have done full factory reset...same issues.
