   Turning on logging at the router, if you haven't already, might you to   
   discover why the router is "dropping out". Does Charter specifically   
   support the uBR? If not, you might try substituting a cheap cable modem   
   and a two-Ethernet router to see if the problem goes away. If it does, I   
   would suspect your uBR cable hardware.
