Router restarts after big git push or big file upload
You’ve made a well written, descriptive post. But, it’s written from the perspective that there must be something external to the modem causing the problem.

I am able to see a log of Modem / router #1, which is unfortunately somewhat vague. When the restart happens, it simply states that "Cable Modem Reboot - due to power reset".
Nothing should ever cause a device to physically reset.
There are only three possible problems here:
- It’s hot and your modem is overheating. Increase air flow around the unit and test again. Put a fan directly on the unit.
- The modem or power adapter is bad. Get it replaced. It could be a firmware bug and you could ask the ISP to confirm that it is running the latest firmware, but I feel this is unlikely.
- Something is interrupting the power to the unit. Try a completely different outlet.
In my opinion, #1 is the most likely culprit and it may have already done irreversible damage requiring the modem to be replaced.
This is ISP equipment. You should be talking to them about why the modem is rebooting and then get it replaced if necessary.
It's faulty firmware, this did not happen with CH7465LG-NCIP-6.12.18.24-5p4-NOSH. This issue is causing router restart when hairpin or loopback is being performed. With this error, you cannot use public IP or domain name inside your local network, because that is what causes reboot. It is couple of month now and still not fixed. You can ask your ISP to remotely downgrade to CH7465LG-NCIP-6.12.18.24-5p4-NOSH but the router updates itself anyway and ISP cannot stop it from doing so, so we are all screwed.
