Hi Gary Does it fail as well if you disable tor? Also 600/900 connections is not that high, and I would argue that you could get to that level even without Tor client, especially with internet-of-things, where all devices gain IP connectivity.
It might be a software stability issue. Have you verified with your isp if there are any software updates available? I could also be a hardware issue. As second option, try to get a replacement.
