@PaulPP You are not the only one getting internet drops with this DSL router. Basically the router is crashing/rebooting due to a firmware issue (hopefully not a hardware issue) and it is affecting many of us. The date/time isn't battery backed up so when the router reboots, it needs to refresh the date/time. I have my VR2100 set up to gather the date/time from the freely available NTP servers. I use the following I.P. addresses: 139.143.5.30 and 139.143.5.31. Once the router has rebooted and established a DSL connection, the date/time is automatically corrected leaving only the first few system logs with the incorrect date/time. Note also that there is a later beta firmware which is a slight improvement over the last one. It is dated 4th Feb 2021 and can be found here: link. Note also that the latest beta version will continue to show "Confidential Only For Test".

Mine had a reboot this morning with the latest beta firmware and it has kept the GMT0 time zone setting so I don't know why your router isn't doing the same
