Losing Internet connection with Billion 7800N

At irregular intervals, the connection to the Internet is dropped, and the only way I've found to 'correct' the problem is to re-start the router, In all other respects, the kit works like a dream, but sometimes the Internet connection will hold for a week or more, and at times it drops within a few hours our so after a rest.
All help will be much appreciated!

For info... release notes... don't think anything on this affects the connection... although item 10 might be relevant.
Release Notes for 7800N (1.06b)
1> Correct ADSL sync rate information with SNMP; the value is same as WEB page. Also, show 0 instead of the
last sync up information while ADSL is down.
2> Support more TR069 objects (TR069 version)
3> Fix issue whereby dhcp server will stop if the “Fixed Host” name contains space character
4> Fix issue whereby too many P2P sessions might slow down normal traffic
5> Fix some IPsec issue (7800GZ)
6> Fix issue whereby the 3G usage page might not be correct while HTTP port is non-80 (7800GZ)
7> Add Static DNS
8> Add IPsec NAT Traversal (7800GZ)
9> Allow 0.0.0.0 as the remote part field on the IPsec page (7800GZ)
10> Fix issue whereby IPsec Domain Name on the IPsec can’t reconnect
11> Fix inconsistent hostname value with SNMP and WEB page
12> Fix issuev whereby 3G usage doesn't work correctly if user manually disconnects/connects the data call while
the usage quota almost reaches the limit. (7800GZ)
13> Fix issue whereby WEB logout doesn't work under some circumstances.

This i've put down to BT doing lots of work in my area most of the time.
A PPP drop could also be Plusnet having to disconnect users due to maintenance or problems with gateways.. e.g. Service Status
i wish billion did a newletter though... i didnt realise there was a new firmware - just updated

This has happened twice when I am away from home - so I lost all access to my network from the outside world.
Version 1.06a improved things but it still happens. Rebooting the router immediately restores the connection but that is no good when I am not at home.
This seems to be a Billion problem - surely if the connection is lost, the router should try to reinstate it!

Depends, it could be Plusnet's fault (or them load balancing) if the network is unbalanced. The router *should* reinstate it, but it all depends on how the connection was dropped.
