FSV318N connection drop and kernel emergencies and errors in log
Here are some of the messages that appear on my syslog server:
[Kernel] Should overwrite TID here for NULL data
[Kernel] xt_TCPMSS: bad length (589 bytes)
[Kernel] <sppe_cmd_arp> Fail to delete IPv4 ARP entry
according to my isp, the line is stable. according to my previous isp (yes I have changed isp's to check if it was their fault)
it was ARP table related.
The connection gets back online in about a minute or so.
I have the latest firmware :
Firmware Version: | 4.3.5-3 |
These connection drops make me trust netgears stability less every day.
We have a win2012r2 webserver behind it (opening port 80 and the port for ssl and ftp) which should be up and running 24/7

Hi simstars,
Welcome to our community!
It seems that you were having issues with arp table. Have you tried to enable/disable the arp broadcast? Go to Network Configuration > LAN Setup - Advanced(Upper right corner) - Enable ARP Broadcast then hit Apply.

it's on by default. Disabling it seems not like a solution to me. Seems like a workaround.
and what about the other two messages:
[Kernel] Should overwrite TID here for NULL data
[Kernel] xt_TCPMSS: bad length (589 bytes)
especially the first one does appear a lot in the log.

simstars,
Yes, you are correct. That is just part of our workaround to see if that would work. You may also try to flash the firmware.
