Victron Pi recent regular loss of communication

I’ve had my system running in a camper for about 2 years. Since the new year I’ve been getting regular loss of communication alarms, whilst parked on my driveway.

In the past the 4G modem (TP link archer mr-600) has been the culprit, but the of thing is the router is still online. In fact the only consistent way of fixing the issue is to reboot the router.

It’s throwing me a bit because the router is still online and showing the Victron pi connected to it.

The router firmware is up to date.

The Victron Pi was running 2.85-large, I’ve just updated this to 2.89, which is the newest available within the unit.

The reboot fix is a clue. I've had this, and just changed 'IP Configuration' from Automatic to Manual while I still had a good connection. Never happened again, and that's with both wifi and internet connections. Might be a fw glitch, don't know..
