First of all, thank you for your answer.

Quote:
The gateway configuration sounds unusual to me but your ISP is in Mexico so perhaps it's different. Normally, your LAN devices would have the router configured as their gateway (not a node at your ISP). Can you please explain this further.
I confirm that my router is not my gateway, it mainly acts like a DHCP device for my LAN, DMZ management, port-forwarding/triggering.
Here is the main information available on my Huawei router status page in the WAN section :

Internet:
IP address/Subnet Mask : 187.xxx.xxx.126/255.255.255.128
IP acquisition mode : DHCP
VLAN/Priority : 400/0
Gateway : 187.xxx.xxx.1
DNS servers : 200.38.100.210 207.83.200.200

IPTV:
IP address/Subnet Mask : 10.xxx.xxx.231/255.255.224.0
IP acquisition mode : DHCP
VLAN/Priority : 402/5
Gateway : 10.xxx.xxx.1
DNS servers : 10.0.1.130 10.0.1.98

Bridge :
VLAN/Priority : 401/7

Also, are you sure that, when your ISP brought new services online (Netflix) that they didn't alter IP addresses?
My public IP address didn't change when they brought new services online. I don't know if they alter the routes in my Internet VLAN nor in my IPTV VLAN.

Does your Huawei HG8245H have standard firmware on it or an ISP provided firmware to lock it down? If you can access it normally then you probably have a 'ping' diagnostic page within its menus which I would use when trouble is experienced to test the internet connection at that time. Are you using IP addresses in ping tests or URL's? If URL's then DNS could be an issue if the ISP has changed that.
The device information page says it is Customized for Totalplay, Mexico, and I have some sections that I cannot change, such as WAN/VLAN configuration, DNS servers, DoS Configuration (only ICMP redirection attack is checked), ALG configuration, and IGMP configuration.
I have access to a Maintenance page that allows me to make ping and traceroute tests. I tested using domain name google.com and gateway IP address. When Internet connection drops, both domain names and IP tests fail, and the router LEDs stay normal as if the link was still established.

Quote:
Your Huawei HG8245H should show you what gateway and DNS servers your ISP is expecting you to use. Is the Huawei HG8245H configured to pass these through (to LAN) or are these hard-configured on the LAN side (and now different to what the ISP is expecting)?
By default, the router passes the DNS and gateway configuration throught DHCP. I keep having this discontinuity of service even when I specify static DNS such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 on all the computers of the LAN.

You ask for opinion. Well I would suspect that the problem is on the ISP side but it's possible that they've changed something which you've not picked up on.
Thank you very much for your help and opinion. I think that my ISP is hiding something. I am going to contact them again and let you know the outcome. Thanks again.

NAME
networks -- Internet Protocol network name data base DESCRIPTION
The networks file is used as a local source to translate between Internet Protocol (IP) network addresses and network names (and vice versa). It can be used in conjunction with the DNS, as controlled by nsswitch.conf(5). While the networks file was originally intended to be an exhaustive list of all IP networks that the local host could communicate with, dis- tribution and update of such a list for the world-wide Internet (or, indeed, for any large "enterprise" network) has proven to be prohibi- tive, so the Domain Name System (DNS) is used instead, except as noted. For each IP network a single line should be present with the following information: name network [alias ...] These are: name Official network name network IP network number alias Network alias Items are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters. A ``#'' indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which search the file. Network number may be specified in the conventional dot (``.'') notation using the inet_network(3) routine from the IP address manipulation library, inet(3). Network names may contain "a" through "z", zero through nine, and dash. IP network numbers on the Internet are generally assigned to a site by its Internet Service Provider (ISP), who, in turn, get network address space assigned to them by one of the regional Internet Registries (e.g. ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC). These registries, in turn, answer to the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). If a site changes its ISP from one to another, it will generally be required to change all its assigned IP addresses as part of the conver- sion; that is, return the previous network numbers to the previous ISP, and assign addresses to its hosts from IP network address space given by the new ISP. Thus, it is best for a savvy network manager to configure his hosts for easy renumbering, to preserve his ability to easily change his ISP should the need arise. FILES
