Netgear R7000p Dropping Connection (Wired) every 2 hours and 4 minutes.

[mutedavinci]

So I have a Gig up and down fiber optic internet plan. It goes straight from the wall to my router to my pcs with the best ethernet cables I could possibly buy. This router is advertised as being more than capable of handling that.  I've had a problem with this router dropping connection every 2 hours and 4 minutes like clock-work 24 hours a day. It's only for a couple seconds (just long enough to shut my stream down, disconnect from game, abort downloads, etc.) then come right back up and reconnect like nothing happened. There's no warning, no lag, nothing. It just drops. Does anyone, maybe NetGear, have an actual fix for this? I've tried multiple fixes that I have read in the many forums of people with this same exact router and problem. The reviews on Amazon are also filled with this stuff. On the call with my ISP today we've over-confirmed it is not me nor my ISP. The guy finally broke down and started scouring the internet with me and pretty much said to get a new router due to the online feedback. If someone could please please help me out here I would greatly appreciate it. I don't want to have to switch. I'm just at a loss in what to do here.
