Netgear Nighthawk® RS300 frequent drop outs have to reboot router

[novagaming]

This happens quite a number of times during the day or night. The ONT remains all green, but the router handshake has obviously been disconnected. I am on the FTTP 900 package; I used to be with BT and had no issues of this kind with timeouts or line resets. Is there anything specific to EE that could be causing this on my Netgear Nighthawk RS300? I am a software developer, so I have already tried all the usual troubleshooting steps

What is very werid is the logs are showing

If it is a neighbourhood issue, you could consult Check service in your area  to see if any faults are being attended to in your local area. You may also Report a Problem there.

Have you reported your problem with your BB to EE? They can't do anything about it until you do. Text HELP to 66033 to get EE to test the line & see what needs doing.

@novagaming Stick the EE hub back on the connection and see what it does, also see if Netgear has applied any updates to there hub recently?

[Steve_BT]

Have you tried limiting the upstream rate to match the package you're on or modified any Upstream priority marking's? For instance if you have 1000/115 Mbps then you will need to limit your WAN port to 115 Mbps upstream. Otherwise your router will try sending 1Gb or 2.5Gb to the ONT and random traffic above 115 Mbps will be dropped there, as per Openreach SIN 506

@Steve_BT ? is that not the Function off the ONT, router hanging on the back will not be set or profiled by EE as they know hee haw about it!

[Steve_BT]

That's my point - When a BT/EE/PN router establishes PPP, it's set up in a optimal way to work with the service bought from Openreach. So we'll handle the traffic shaping towards the ONT.

@Steve_BT You may want to drop and delete your post EE do not admit to Traffic shaping in any format, so not good for you to post that!
