BT home hub 5 reboots

Hi All
New to this forum ....just had fibre broadband fitted on friday ...they came with an openreach modem but never got the router that i ordered ...so he fitted the openreach and tested it ....but as got no router i borrows a friends home hub 5 (my plusnet router is now in post ) ....got it working fine after doing factory reset .....work fine till yesterday when it rebooted twice on me ...then been fine till today, just done it 3 times today in an hour .....this come up in the logs-
19:43:25, 26 Jan. ( 15.320000) Booting firmware 4.7.5.1.83.8.173.1.6 (Type A)
19:42:40, 26 Jan. ( 3747.640000) PPP LCP Send Termination Request [User request]
19:42:39, 26 Jan. ( 3746.250000) The system is going DOWN for reboot.
19:42:39, 26 Jan. ( 3746.250000) OpenRG is going for reboot by IPC command
19:42:34, 26 Jan. ( 3741.250000) OpenRG will go down for reboot in 5 seconds
anyone know why its doing this ? i read somewhere that they have to test line for next 10 days ...is this right and wonder if thjis is why it keeps rebooting ?

Re: BT home hub 5 reboots

also checked noise level in helpdesk-
8.Noise margin: 6.8 / 6.6
9. Line attenuation: 0.0 / 18.7
10. Signal attenuation: 0.0 / 18.7
is that good or bad ?

The Hub 5 uses the same chip as the ECI r.
Making the hh5 somewhat under powered for its dual function roll.....
Unlocked ECI or HG612 -------> High end router = Least hassle FTTC
