Thanks!!   Will definitely post here with any updates.  Please do likewise.  I have also read about bypassing this router via the same set-up you described,  but at this point, after months of troubleshooting,  I am stubbornly active in getting to the bottom of this.

Oh, don't worry. I have no intention of letting this go either. Will make a call to CS tomorrow and post the results.

Oh yes I have the same problem. This started to happen the day I updgraded to Quantum 50/25 and got a new router. It never happened with the older  router which I used when I had 25/15. I only got the new router because it defnitely produces an improved wireless signal. I have an appointment with  them on the 18th.  We will see I will keep this forum posted

Its amazing. I called and spoke to two techs and they told me oh we have never heard of this. Thats what they are trained to say. I am not buying that one bit. I even said to the guy dont you guys read the forums and he said yes they do but they havent seen or heard of that before now. I am like you right.   Verizon needs to get their act together they have a great product but they are messing it up with this stupid router.

Well, if your experience goes like the rest of us, they'll probably suggest replacing the router and/or the ONT and neither will actually help.

Here, by the way, is further information on the problem I found elsewhere.

A device on the lan is establishing tcp connections to upnp service port 2555 and immediately terminates connection leaving the connection half closed. Each half closed connection consumes 1 socket descriptor. There is a limit of 1024 and once this is reached the router will reboot.

 

This seems to be a pretty definitive explanation of what's going on since it echoes what I saw in the official Verizon doc. Anybody know what this means or whether this can help us reach a solution?

Yeah, that's the problem -- older revs of the router seem to work fine, but they won't give you the same performance as the newer rev. Otherwise, I would have switched back five months ago.
