R7960P repeatedly stops service for brief time
Router interrupts service frequently (a few times every day) for very short times (some seconds to one or two minutes), then resumes normal operation. This happens also on pure local connections. R7960P Firmware 1.4.4.94, ISP COX, Modem SB8200 No LED color change (all white) when problem occurs, incoming (Modem) LED on router keeps flickering as usual. All Ethernet cables are Cat.6 and tested. Symptom: Established connections to external and internal hosts freeze, browsers report "server not available" or similar. Clients are connected wired and wireless. Client OS are macOS and Linux. These interruptions were originally observed on connections to external sources, but recently also between (all wired connected) macOS clients and an internal server also wired and on macOS. Anny suggestions? Thank you
