Broadband router randomly reboots

My router randomly reboots, usually around twice per day, with no set pattern. All the lights turn off, then turn on, orange at first then going green. Sky customer services suggested resetting the router using the small button on the back. This didn't help. I have a lot of my devices connected via cable, so I have disconnected these, but the problem still occurs. Is it possible to buy a new router? As it is a few years old now. Or can anyone suggest a way to fix it? Thanks,

The router has been repalced however the problem still exists. The router lights will go off, with just the first light being solid red, the other lights will then turn on (green).

 

The internet is offline for around 2 minutes until the lights are back on, there is no issues with the internet other than these drops

Following up on this, I am still seeing the same issues.

 

The internet will drop out with only the first light lit up red, this will then go green, with the other lights going orange and eventually turning green after a few minutes

Re: Broadband router randomly reboots

Yes, it ended up fixing itself. All I can guess is sky identified an issue at their side and fixed it
