RBR850 rebooting multiple times/day
I am 16 months into the journey with the RBR850 and my manageable stability (1 spontaneous reboot of the RBR850/day) has moved to multiple, sometimes multiple per hour. I am running the current offic...
Yep - more than a day of uptime! sounds like victory, but ... :) Anyway, good to go and now i just have toe figure out a VPN solution.
Any updates on this?
Did you remove the Linksys router or leave it on line and put the RBR in to the Linksys DMZ or Configure AP mode on the RBR with the Linksys in router mode?

The Linksys is up to date but ultimately flashed with ExpressVPN code as that is the function. i have switched off just about everythign on teh linksys. BTW - i'm using the 3200 as it has the most horsepower to process the encrypt/decrypt and leave me with at least reasonable up/down bandwidth. Will see if i can verify or resolve the possible NAT conflcts and see if that gets me stable
Hi FURRYe38,
I had to remove it in the end. I had one of those fun conversations with ExpressVPN's support folks where we explored all conceiveable mitigations to nought. There flashed s/w has limited capability, so no DMZ, no other approaches we could get to, so i have taken the flashed Linksys WRT3200ACM out of the path leaving the ISP gateway CM1000 connected into RBR850.
Since taking it out, the only unforced reset on the RBR was at 11.15pm, so 12 hours ago. That's a big improvement, but not pristine. 70 devices connected.
At the same time i'm researching VPN options H/W, withing RBR850s openVPN and others to get things back behind a wall. Open to suggestions, but again would need to be a service provider model at teh other end of the pipe (e.g. express or Nord, etc.)
Call me paranoid, but i believe in makign my security better than those who aren't.
best, julian
Thats a shame theres no DMZ.
Sounds like the reboots are fixed. I hope.
Ya, you'll find something in regards to VPN.
Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
