Raxe500 crashes occasionally after upgrading to FW 1.0.9.78
I have been using the RAXE500 for several months and it is very stable. Since it was updated to 1.0.9.78, it began to crash / restart occasionally two weeks after startup. The crash shows that all wi...
I have two RAXE500 with the same firmware of 1.0.9.78 in two houses. Their ISPs are the same as China Unicom. MODEM (HUAWEI) has PPPOE and assigned the IP address to RAXE500 through DHCP. I use home A and home B to distinguish the LAN environment.
The LAN of home A no longer has switches and APS. Less than 30 devices are all connected to the RAXE500, of which 1 ~ 4 ports are connected to wired devices, 5 port is idle, and other devices are connected wirelessly. The RAXE500 is very stable without problems.
The LAN of home B is more complex, including RAXE500 → (port #5) → MS510TXPP → GS105PE → GS108Tv3 → EAX20. All more than 40 devices are connected to these switches and APS through wired and wireless. RAXE500 crashes occasionally.
When the problem occurred, I tried to change the location of two RAXE500, and found that when the RAXE500 of home A was placed in family B, there was a crash / restart problem about two weeks later. However, after the RAXE500 of home B was replaced in home A, there was no problem.
Therefore, I think the problem is caused by the network of home B. Analyze the difference between the network environment of the two home, either because port#5 is connected to MS510TXPP(maybe some settings of the managed switch), or because the total number of clients is > 40.
At present, the raxe500 of home B has been downgraded to the previous version, and there is no problem now.
