I dont know much about how these modems work mate but I think may be yourself & someone else in your URB are sharing the same mac, if so you will need to change yours.

jmoles1,

I'm in Belfast, and over the past fortnight, every morning (around 5am) my modem also goes offline (online light flashes) and doesn't reconnect, till I restart it.

I've recently changed my config and mac, and that seemed to work.

Maybe a mac change as Roco has recommended will work for you (I was planning on changing the config anyway).
