FTTB Intermittent Internet disconnections

We installed TPG FTTB in late March and it has run reliably for a number of weeks. However, in recent weeks, we have experienced intermittent Internet dropouts. These occur multiple times during a day, and can occur at any time of the day. When the dropout occurs, the Internet light on the router goes off  and the router will attempt to reconnect. When reconnecting - the DSL light flashes. After reconnecting, the connection will frequently immediately dropout again. 

Hardware Version:Archer VR1600v v1 00000000

Firmware Version:1.1.0 0.9.1 v5006.0 Build 180828 Rel.35294n

 

The error log from the most recent dropout is provided below. Pease advise how to overcome this problem, which is causing us great frustration.

 

thanks.
