When you get a dropout, what is the state of the indicator lights on the NBN box (if you have one) and the wifi router?   What is your current setup? What router is doing what? I don't think you're easing the workload by splitting it among different boxes. If you want to save a bit of overheating, try using just 1 wifi band. Just disable the least useful band.   All 3 routers have a System Log. I'm more familiar with the VR1600. It indicates link failures with PPP messages. Other 2 might have something similar. What is in the Log when dropout occurs? I have FTTN; modem (d7000) DSL light flashes when it drops. Netgear D7000 is modem only mode piped into Asus AX4200 wifi 6 router (now, previously it was the D7000 doing it all).  I had tried limiting wifi bands, turned it off completely, still got hot. Ended up getting a USB fan to test cooling it but it still wasnt bulletproof and dropped on occasion. Logs on D7000 SUCK; and just shows DSL Down. v1600 (this was the first modem, like 3 years ago now) actually showed incoming calls on the log, as in someone was calling my service number at the time of the drops; but i spoke to TPG techs at the time and they said it was unrelated. Otherwise nothing of substance. And the Asus logs are harder to read, theres a lot, but something like; - pppd[2490]: Connection terminated. - pppd[2490]: Modem hangup - WAN Connection: Fail to connect with some issues. ...
