SRX5308 dhcp & login problems
Our company has 6 sites, each with a SRX5308 firewall and VPN connections between them. These firewalls also have dhcp enabled since there is only 1 site that has a windows server, this is our main ...
No changes have been made to the ISP or internet connection.
I already did a factory reset of the firewall last week, and reconfigured it from scratch, but the next day the problem occured again. Still have to try downgrading the firmware to see if this helps.
In the log there's also a bunch of error messages like the ones below:

I've also found this thread where someone suggests it's because of heavy load (maxed out traffic)
I guess that's the case for us too. Maybe it's time to look for a new firewall with higher throughput...
The log messages here could possibly indicate a hardware issue as well. I'd try the firmware downgrade and then get in touch with netgear support as these have lifetime support and warranty afaik.
