Not sure if this is because a problem with my router or the version of DD-WRT I am running, which is 57595 and is from July 24. Router is a Netgear R7000 and whilst this has been happening for some time it seems to have become worse lately.
Are there any diagnostics I can get to try and establish the route cause. I am hesitant to move to a new build unless there is something to suggest the fault has been fixed.

Sorry, should have added that if I restart the daemon it starts accepting connection again and may run for several hours before the problem happens again but it may also happen within an hour.
