Ditto. I've been up for 11 days without a reboot. The Rev. I seems to be stable even when I boot up my laptop, which is something that *always* caused it to choke in the past. Can't account for what's changed, but I doubt the firmware update is responsible, since it rebooted several times after I upgraded.

The new Rev F rebooted yesterday morning after 5 days.  The issue remains.

This could just be a coincidence, but I'm thinking it's not.

Yesterday, for the first time since the "Quantum" speeds were rolled out, my house is now eligible for the 150/65 speed package - and above. Before yesterday I was "limited" to 50/35 and lower. This pretty much coincides with my Rev. I router now approaching 20 days without a reboot. I'm thinking something must have been done to the node in my neighborhood (or whatever the heck the technical term is) and that maybe as a result it's become more stable now. That's the theory I'm running with. Otherwise, I'm at a loss for why the Rev. I has suddenly stopped its annoying daily reboot behavior. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy about it, but I'm also a guy that likes definitive answers. 🙂

Poosibly you are correct and that would also explain why my router has never rebooted.

I just checked my fios internet eligibilty here and apparently my area is OK for up to the 500/100 service.

My area was also changed to support higher speeds based on my service level options online.  Maybe there is something to the node changes.  I also went from rebooting to stable.

Well, guess it's good news for all involved that this thread has been dormant since early April. I'm at 37 straight days without a reboot, so I'm thinking that the issue is resolved. Don't know how, don't know why, but I'm glad it is.

Well this has started happening to me about two weeks ago and at first it was a blip but has now turned in to longer reboot times and happening more frequently. After reading through this thread I'm not sure I want to even deal with Verizon tech support. So sad what this ISP has become in a short time. It was the greatest thing for years but the more I've searched the subject the more I get baffled. It happens sporatically to people all over. Is it hackers OR Is it some new testing they're doing that is mucking up everything OR Is it new hardware they're installing that just mucks up the network? I also wonder if it has anything to do with the new consoles. I don't have any exact timing but I recently got a new PS4 and while I didn't have problems the moment it was connected it started sometime shortly after for sure.
