BT are saying that this has been resolved, We'll carry on to monitor
it.

I had to reboot the router when I came home.  Do BT have any solution for 
the need to press the big red switch on the router as this is not an 
option if I am away.

Actually, looking at my graph, it all went dead at 11 am.  This is over an 
hour after BT say it was resolved.

I have a cron job which checks the router for a duff IP
address every 15 minutes, and reboots it if it finds one.

I had something similar on my old router.  I haven't got around to doing 
one for the Zyxel yet.  But it would have been of no use because I 
couldn't get into the router even from the computer connected with an 
ethernet cable.

I guess the best solution for such problems is something like:

 Yes - I had the exact same experience, also with a Zyxel (660HWP) which is 
worrying. Why should a problem in the WAN crash the LAN? When something 
similar happened with a previous Zyxel router it was the precursor to the 
thing failing to maintain a connection for more that 1/2 hour.

Is this a design fault with Zyxels?

I have considered such a solution but a tad simpler:  a time switch in the 
router's mains socket set to switch off and on at 3 o'clock in the 
morning.  Every morning.  I think I shall probably do this when I go on 
holiday.
