OK this measn the SBR has lost the LMS.

DO YOU USE DHCP FOR LMS SERVER AND PLAYER ?
Please answer question about DHCP.

I think the name that appear on router will have come form LMS WebUI
Setting/Player/Basic Settings.  If you change the name on LMS - then it
will change on modem and so may appear twice.

When a player powers up - it broadcast a message asking about all
available LMS. Normally device remembers LMS name but SBR is different. 
With SBR - UDAP is used to tell it which LMS to choose (I can't remember
usually by name but possibly by IP address).
If LMS changes IP address (e.g. DHCP lease expires) - then LMS and SBR
will no longer talk. SBR will try to talk to old LMS IP address.

So important question - do you use DHCP for LMS sever ip address ?  does
LMS server IP address change ? can you make LMS server IP address static
?
