router drops randomly

ye i checked cables aswell, the power was correctly placed, aswell as ethernet cables. So might just be a loose connection somewhere in the router,
it still didnt drop since the reset, so i hope this will stay. If this problem does come back i might just send this router back to the shop i bought it from to get a new one
Kind regards

also note that i restarted the router from 192.168.1.1 manually, and that it didn't go down for the last day. A friend from work told me that it's possible that a connection inside the router might be bad ( like melted a bit or something) and if the routers makes connection to multiple devices that the connection overheats and my router goes down. Seems quite a possible way, altho the router is only 7 months old, and max users on the router is 3 pc's
i can't see the logs from home, so i will call my isp service monday, cuz they are closed in the weekend

hi,
since the reset, the router didnt go down anymore, sometimes the internet light turns amber color for a sec, but afterwards the internet is back. So only freezes the net for a couple of secs and then pages/games load further

Did you try changing the cable between the modem and router?
If the connection from the modem is working fine, perhaps it could be a hardware problem.
You may want to consider upgrading your router to a newer one.
