Hi Billy, we are aware of the issue and actively debugging it so we can work on a fix. Do ALL devices go down when this happens? Is there anything specific happening on the network when you notice the issue like heavy downloading for example?
Next time the issue occurs can you reboot the modem please, if it works after that first time then it could indicate a negotiation issue between the two.

When you say you've got the current firmware, you mean the hotfix firmware right?
