Broadband router restarting

My broadband router restarts frequently. The restart takes 5-10 minutes and the internet is cut off for this time. Speed etc ok otherwise. Do I need a new router?

2 engineers visits already.
I would like to try another ISP. Please confirm that, in the circumstances, you will not charge any early termination fees.

Hi dean42,
Are you currently experiencing any problems with your telephone service, any noise on the line?

Hi dean,
I'm sorry to hear this. I've run a test on the line now which is clear. Do the lights change on the router when this happens please?

Not good. I have noticed 8 restarts since the engineer reset the profile on Monday...

Still rebooting. Perhaps less often. This morning the engineer has reset the profile so I think we will need to give it a few days

Hi @dean42
Thanks for your reply.
I will check in again with you on Monday to see how the connection has been over the weekend.

Thanks @dean42
I've arranged the engineer visit for 13/02 PM (1pm - 6pm)
I've left notes to advise that this is a repeat fault and is the same fault that was present at the last visit.
Please let us know how you get on following this visit.

Hi @dean42
Apologies that this fault is still ongoing.
As the connection is still dropping with the new router then we will need to arrange another engineer visit. Would you like me to arrange this?

He said that there were no problems with line, but replaced the socket.
