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.

    I have had this issue with older firmware builds too.
