If you haven’t already, do a whole house reboot. Unplug all stb’s and the gateway. Plug in the gateway and let it fully reboot. Then dvr, full reboot, each stb until all done. If you still get the problem. Unplug all stb’s except the dvr. See what happens over the next few days. If still happening, get a replacement gateway. If still happening after that, get a new dvr. 

 

Or as @_xyzzy_ said, call for a tech visit to check everything in the house.

Just to be clear here.   You moved the problem box and now the problem still continued on that same problem box but now in another room tv? The "good" box you moved into your room still has no problem?  If so while I can't imagine what could cause such a thing (some kind of interference that only that one receiver is sensitive to???) when in doubt, replace

 

It would be more interesting if the problem was still on the tv now attached to the "good" receiver now in your room.  That would point to some kind of (very) localized limited range interference (on some kind of timer) in that room.   That could be a harder problem to figure out since it's not a box problem.  I only bring this up to further support that your "yes" answer means that the problem follows only the one box no matter where it is moved to.

Did you try selecting the restart like it asked?

UPDATE:

Had an AT&T/ Universe tech come the other day.  OH BOY!  He moved the modem from above the entertainment area to the back of the tv.  I questioned how this is going to solve the issue with my connection in my room shutting itself down every night at exactly 11 pm and resume at exactly 2 am,  with the error message of " A network setting that has been changed?"  He had no answers and can't be here when it is happening so late in the evening.  He didn't even offer to install a new receiver to see if that would work.  

I offered to send him the screenshots above to possibly show his IT dept. He declined that offer.  

conclusion:  PROBLEM NOT RESOLVE.

Do you still have an internet access during this time?

Not when I lose service at 11 pm. It does engage within minutes, but very bumpy.
Mind you, this only happens in my room. The other two units in the house never had a problem.

If yours is not the dvr can you switch with one of the other non-dvr boxes to see if the problem is specific to the one box?
