Landline reset with Ultra II router?

Hi, new Vodafone customer after years and years with BT.

The Ultra Hub I notice is reseting with status 'System Self' in the log every other day ONLY when my wife is chatting to her relative on the landline. The landline is typically used for around 1 hour every morning for check in calls. 

So it's either the hub resetting typically at 7.30am or the VOIP activity is causing a reset. When checking firmware etc, its the latest and memory is 66% and CPU around 10%.

Aside not being able to get the Vodafone Broadband app working due to a 'firmware' update splash screen, the overall 900mb service has been ok a majority of the time.

I wondered if anybody had troubleshooted a similar issue with router rest and VOIP activity

So the complaint is still ongoing, possibly the worst complaint process I’ve known however some self diagnosis;

- the router doesn’t ‘self-reset’ now I’ve plugged in the 4g backup dongle using a USB-A to USB-C cable I had hanging around. It’s clear the router may have a driver or power issue using usbc. Since plugging in usba lead the router hasn’t reset since

-the landline mid call disconnects have stopped. it was clear the usbc failure was resetting the router and it happened as there was a SIP call.

-The Broadband App now works after resetting the router and doing the setup from scratch . I turned off mobile data and used my Apple iPhone with wifi and Bluetooth only at startup and it paired with the router

-VeryMe rewards that never worked in the Vodafone app now worked after deleting, reinstalling and not using login but turning wifi off and using cellular connection only and skipping the login option. It obviously uses the sim to detect and approve rewards. After it activated it now works with wifi enabled too

the outstanding issues are discounts promised as part of a Vodafone Together option and complaints are in progress

Still unstable with the Ultra Hub Pro II. Tech support today pushed firmware 22.1.0515-6269048 to replace 22.1.0515-6261033. The router has been self restarting every other day from being a once a week incident.

I immediately clicked 'check for latest firmware' in the admin menu and it overwrote 22.1.0515-6269048 with 22.1.0515-6261033 so put it back to its previous config. Luckily tech support on the call told me not to try the update option and pushed the newer firmware down to the hub again. 

I'm still seeing errors in the log but be interested to see what changes have been made to uplift the firmware from 6261033 to 6269048.

Now I wait one week to see if this stabilises.

Uptime since last reboot 8 days, 2 hours, 15 minutes and 24 seconds
 
The connection has been the most stable since install time months ago. Over 8 days without a reboot...on firmware 6269048.

10 days, 7 hours, 58 minutes and 51 seconds !

@JasonPC  This is very promising. Hope it continues to stay stable. 

It's fair to say this firmware fix has stabilised my router. Its been running now;
