CAX80 keeps rebooting
For the past 3 days my CAX80 has been rebooting every 4 to 5 hours. I’ve tried connecting the power source directly to an outlet and that didn’t work. I did a factory reset and that also didn’t work. ...
I did some research and Netgear seems to have removed the option for automatic updates.
I feel like they need to acknowledge this issue and either come up with a patch or stopping the automatic updates to .7.
commodon how did you manage to stop the router automatically updating from 2.1.3.5 to 2.1.3.7?
olympos1625 will Netgear release a patch to fix the constant router restarts in 2.1.3.7? Or at least stop the automatic firmware updates so we can stay on 2.1.3.5?
tfc3000 I have not done anything to enable or disable firmware upgrades.
On the occasion when I login to the UI, if I see a message indicating there is a firmware upgrade I upgrade. Such is what occurred last week, when I logged into the UI and observed the indication there was a firmware update available to 2.1.3.7. It was at that time I upgraded. Such was not an automatic process.
Else it remains running whatever is currently installed, which at present is v2.1.3.5
It seems like yours is working differently than ours. I did not initiate any updates. The CAX80 has been doing it automatically.
I wonder if enabling/disabling automatic updates used to be a feature at some time, but now it is no longer. Maybe you got "grandfathered" in.
Would love some Netgear feedback on this.
Add me to the list of users whose CAX80 running 2.1.3.7 keeps rebooting. For me it started on 06/08/22 with the router rebooting between 3am and 5am every day. It all started with the false "A router firmware upgrade is available" banner and the frequent [DoS attack] LAND Attack SPT:2190 DPT:2190 messages in the log. I tried factory resetting CAX80 using the reset button in the back, but it failed to fully reset the CAX80. I have re-flashed 2.1.3.7 several times, but the router still reboots overnight.
I didn't know/notice that the option to stop automatic firmware updates had been removed with 2.1.3.7. I'm probably wrong, but maybe the router is receiving a malformed message at about the same time from the Netgear firmware update server telling the router that there's is a new firmware available and that it needs to reboot to install it. At minimum Netgear should release a new firmware re-adding the option to configure the router not to check for new firmware updates or to update the firmware automatically. (Default to get firmware updates Manually with an "option" to set the checks for firmware updates automatically or vice versa)
