BQ16 Latest Firmware & Consistent disconnections from the internet after a week or 2?

Reinforcer

Occasional Visitor
Has anyone noticed consistent disconnections after like a week or 2 with the BQ16 latest firmware 3.0.0.6.102_37026?

It's not my fibre provider as when it happens I have to reboot the router and the internet is back, It is consistently doing it since I put this lates firmware on although I did subscribe to a fixed IP address from my FTTH provider around a month or so ago also so I am not sure what is going on, I can tell it's not my provider also because of the 2 green lights on the fibre box are always still on so 100% it is the router that keeps losing the internet connection.

This is what is reported in the log when it loses connection every single time.

Dec 7 17:20:09 wan: finish adding multi routes
Dec 7 17:20:09 wan_up: Restart DDNS
Dec 7 17:20:09 dhcp client: renew 6*.***.55.84/255.255.252.0 via 6*.***.52.1 for 600 seconds.

I have noticed the 1st IP is not the same as the 2nd one, The last 2 sections of the digits are different but my fixed IP is always the same if that makes sense?

Loks like yoi do not have your static IP address set up correctly on the router and the ISP DHCP is forcing an IP address change.
WAN/WAN Connection type should be "Static" and the other fields filled in with settings provided by the ISP.
 
I did think that at first but it can't be because they said I do not need to set static IP in the router and to leave it as DHCP also my real IP has never changed since I purchased the fixed IP about a month or 2 ago.
