I was using a 887 a while back and had lots of similar issues. I think the VDSL chipset on its not great on it. I can’t remember if you can use one of the Ethernet points and then use another modem to see if that makes a difference.

I have a Cisco 887VA at home, hooked up to a BT supplied VDSL line (cabinet at end of street), what I believe is called "fibre", but my ISP is Zen. Ive noticed that very consistently after about a week (7-8 days), forwarding partially breaks in some way. Im not sure if it is the Cisco or something somewhere else, but I didnt have the same issue with the Zen supplied FritzBox, so seems coincidental that it is the Cisco... The biggest thing I have noticed is that DNS seems to break. e.g. I could have an audio stream playing, and it will continue to stream just fine, but you wont be able to browse or resolve any other hostnames. I can also still ping anything by IP just fine. I have a friend that is working for a managed service provider who has an installed base of these routers and says they are also working on much the same issue. If anyone has any suggestions, Im all ears! Thanks Tom
