WNDR3700 Base Router (No Version # On Unit)-Random Internet Connection Drops
The current firmware version installed is V1.0.7.98NA. My internet connection randomly drops 2 - 3 times a day. My ISP is TDS. I have an Arris SB6141 cable modem. If I exclude the router and connect my PC directly to the modem the internet connection does not drop. I tested it in this configuration for a week. I am running Windows 10 on Labtop/PC and Andorid smart devices.
If I power cycle the router (without recycling the power to the modem) the internet connection stays up for a period of time but the random drops start again. I have reset the router numerous times and and verified the router configuration good each time.
The ISP (TDS) found noise on the lines, They came out 3 times.
Service Call #1: Replaced all the connections from the junction box out side near the street and at the connection box where they enter my house.
Service Call #2: Replaced connectors at the junction box in my home.
Service Call #3: Replaced the coax cable/connectors where the router resides in one of my bedrooms.
My house is only 1600 square feet. I have lived in my current home since June of 2006.This problem started happening around March 2020. Up until then everything was pretty stable. Any guidance/suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried re-installing the firmware to the router? Try re-installing the firmware, then do a factory reset and clean install (by clean, just don't use a backup configuration).
If that doesn't help, I'd actually look at updating the router. it was made in 2009.

There is no firmware available on the Netgear support web page for the base WNDR3750 router.. Is it okay to use the one for WNDR3700-V1 since it is the same version as the firmware currently installed?
