IPTV issue, after long uptime

[evansnp]

Hi Billion_Fan. I've been watching UHD, via a BT yYouview box, with no issues now for several months. However, over the Christmas period I noticed several frame drops, that got worse over the course of several days, as though there was insufficient bandwidth. I looked at the router stats, and there were no obvious errors, or any indication that things were amis. Indeed, a speed check confirmed that I was still getting my maximum speed (76 Mb). After restarting the router, all has come good again, implying that the router is perhaps running out of resources over time? As a matter of interest, are dropped packets reported for the bridge interface, or only ppp1?

You can check under 'Status >> Statistics >> Wan Service' the bridge interface should be listed (I don't have BT IPTV so its hard to comment)
