Since the system log reports it (see below): What is the content of "/jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add" ?
  • When I nano the content, it's empty?
  • What should be added there?
By default AFAIK its usually empty (eta: if it exists at all). If you use YazDHCP, you may see the following entries in the dnsmasq.conf.add file.

Code:
addn-hosts=/jffs/addons/YazDHCP.d/.hostnames # YazDHCP_hostnames
dhcp-hostsfile=/jffs/addons/YazDHCP.d/.staticlist # YazDHCP_staticlist
dhcp-optsfile=/jffs/addons/YazDHCP.d/.optionslist # YazDHCP_optionslist

By default, this file is empty, isn't it?
By default the file doesn't exist. Trying to edit a non-existent file will open a new empty file. Or, having installed and then removed some third-party addons may leave behind an existent but empty file.
 
I really think that you should rule out that the issue isn't the same one addressed by:
The situation for which I wrote the script seems very similar - at exactly every 48 hours my modem would drop the ethernet link momentarily to trigger a downstream refresh, but the Asus router wouldn't pick up on this, resulting in loss of internet connectivity. The script monitors for this signal and effects the necessary refresh.

Update: As it seems switching the cable modem fixed my issues.

Since then my Asus router no longer lost the WAN connection.
