XR500 - At least once a day I get disconnected. I've tried everything.
XR500 V2.3.2.104-DumaOS3.0-Beta <--- Tried this because I've tried everything else. Windows 10 Wired to PC Spectrum Internet So a few weeks back I started to do more gaming on my PC ...
I'm in the same boat, on the same firmware.
Router just spontaneously rebooting...first it was once in awhile, then once a day, then multiple times a day.
What's worse is the logs are wiped on every reboot...is there a way to get the logs to persist, or dump somewhere?
I updated to the v3 beta -- same build as stated in OP -- a few days ago after trying downgrade/factory reset, and then downgrade/factory reset/upgrade after the first try failed, and hadn't had a reboot (to my knowledge) since I did...until just now.
Super frustrating, and I am completely puzzled as to why the logs would wipe...defeats the purpose of a log, and the alternative being daily emailed logs is not very useful for my situation. Only other notable thing is my logs have lots of lines like this:
[DumaOS] Error parsing line in ARP table: 'fe80::1efe:........
I have IPv6 disabled in advanced settings.
Only difference I have hardware-wise is I'm on WOW! and a Netgear CM100
- Is it plugged directly into a wall outlet or to a power extender? If a power extender it can sometimes not get the required power and that could cause a reboot.
It was previously plugged into a UPS, via a short (1ft) power extender. Before I tried downgrading a factory resetting, I switched to plugging it straight into a surge protector (not connected to the UPS)
Also, it was plugged into that power extender and UPS combo for a good 6 months before I experienced any of these problems FWIW.
I mean first things first -- is there really no way to get the logs to persist or dump? I'm sure there's a lot to be learned about what's going on there.
Thanks for the reply and suggestion though. Unfortunately that would not seem to be the source of my problem though.
- No there isn't a way to have it persist through a reboot. I would suggest trying it directly connected to a wall outlet just in case as I've seen it be resolved by things like that in the past.
