Router requires reset once a week

[hattac]

Wondering if anyone can help me with this, I have the M500 package and I'm fortunate to be in an area where it was only just installed around 2 years ago so I have fibre going directly to the RFOG box in my home then a short 1mtr coax to the Hub 5. All in all I'm happy with the service the speeds are great and the service is mainly used for gaming. Around every 7/10 days the connection becomes allmost unusable when gaming and it almost feels as though its creating input lag that's how far behind it feels, I then go ahead and reset the hub via the pin underneath and within a day or so it resetles itself and is really responsive again, this happens every time. I'm wondering if any of you tech savy networking folk can point me in the direction as to why this happens? Thanks

We have RFoG we do not need to touch the VM Hub from one month to the next,
the last Hub reboot was caused by a local power cut.

It is easy to test if the line has had a change in performance via :

Once the test begins click on: Run full test to include: Latency, Jitter, Packet loss & Upload speed

For Android & iPhone there is also a free "Samknows Realspeed" app that works well.
