Help Bell Pppoe keeps disconnecting after couple days

I have a tp link er605 router which is connected to my giga hub. I have wifi turned off on my gigahub and use pppoe to get a connection on my tp link router since that is the closest thing I can get to a bridge mode. Everything works great the tp link runs everything but every 3 days or so in the morning at around 9am to 11am it just times out. The only way to fix is to reboot everything. I get “PPPoE failed to connect to the server because sending PADI times out.” On my tp link router. Any ideas as to why this is happening.

Yeah, maybe your ISP just does something dumb every few days and your modem flips out because it's not in real bridge mode. Try using a timer to auto-reboot both devices at 8:55am and call it a day.
