I have a Bell Home Hub 2000 and connected to it via ethernet cable is the NVR from the EKI-Q41T44 4-Channel Value Express Kit.

The issue is sometimes when I open the Hik-Connect app on my mobile phone, and tap to view the live view of the security cameras, the entire home network goes down and my modem reboots itself. So I basically lose everything temporarily (TV and Internet services) until the modem establishes the connections again after rebooting. I called Bell tech support but they are useless for this issue. They did however upgrade the firmware of my modem, however since then the issue occurred again. So I don't think the firmware version had any connection to this issue. One thing I did note was that each time this occurs my phone is connected to the same home network via WIFI.

The only log entry recorded by the router is a warning at the time of the crash

2020-09-07 20:58:31WRNPPPOEConnection to the SERVICES Internet has been terminated.(Reboot,Reconfiguration,forced termination)

Has anyone heard of this occurring, or any idea why it is happening?

Hate to say it, but it sounds like you need a modem that doesn’t have this problem. Nothing that happens on your home network, phone or whatnot should cause your modem to “fall over.”
