FIOS router hangs, quits serving DHCP

Firmware Version:	20.20.8
Model Name:	MI424WR-GEN2
Hardware Version:	E

Recently, the router will randomly hang and stop serving new DHCP addresses. Accessing the admin pages is extremely slow. Only a reboot (or, sometimes, 2-3) will fix the issue. This is happening 4-5 times per week.

We aren't gamers and while there are upwards of 10+ devices that connect to the router, all the use is typical internet use.

Anyone know what the issue could be? Or is it time to beg Verizon for a new router?

Have you tried doing a hard reset. You need to hold in the little button on the back for about 10-15 seconds. You need something small that will fit in the hole to reset it. Otherwise it might be time for a new router.
