RT-AC68U ISP's DHCP did not function properly

[komrade]

Hello,

For the past 2 nights in a row, I wake up to my internet connection being down. Router is up and operational.

I have verizon fios with a vDSL modem (their older style system for apartment complexes).

Here is the log from the router for everything on the 15th (this morning).

The things I notice ate the NTP update going crazy at 2AM and then at 2:23am the WAN Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly.

I have to reset the vDSL modem to get the internet back up and running. So I think maybe the vDSL modem is failing and may need to be replaced, but I wanted to double check.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply!

Same thing on my AC3200, but not always at night. Happens any time of day. Checked cables, etc. Seems to have come from recent firmware changes.
