Admin note - topic split from original thread herecan't you automate that with dslstats?
Was able to stop it using the following commands rather than a modem power cycle.
adsl connection --down
adsl connection --up
OK looking for suggestions here please.
Whatever it is happens daily. It will always be in the morning - anytime between 8am and mid-day, but not at a set time so that using a timer to reboot the modem wouldn't be of help.
I also now have quite a lot of Smart Home equipment which relies on the modem and/or wifi being up, so manually turning the modem off if I'm out for the day is no longer ideal. eg recent examples
1) Didn't realise until walking into a cold house, when in theory Hive would have either (a) detected I was on the way home and started warming the house or (b) I could have turned it on via my mobile phone.
2) Although still havent got a bulb to fit the porch light, as long as the router is on, I can still get either Hive or a TP-link plug to turn on one of the other lights before I enter.
I think I need some sort of automated script that would detect if the CRCs exceed 10k for more than 5 mins then get the modem to carry out the above commands.
One very important consideration though - it must not loop repeatedly just in case on the off-chance a modem reset doesn't clear and I then end up with a far worse situation of banding rather than INP.

ETA screen cap from MDWS to show what happens. From this you can see the CRC spike each day, and also how on occasion it gets stuck, which in turns causes the Err Secs to attract the attention of DLM.
