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. ...
Last night was the first in weeks w/o receiving a 'TLV-11 - unrecognized OID' from xfinity...making this monday morning a lot more barable, heh. I'm guessing a request been submitted to halt those signals while they work to improve our situation.
Hopefully that is the case and we will all soon get back to our lives w/o having to spend another min on things where suppose to be set-it-and-forget-it.
So NG, if you are, thank you, kudos and god speed!
Could this be possible?... Did Netgear finally fix the issue forcing my CAX80 to reboot at ~3am since 06/08/22? - I made no changes on my CAX80 other than restoring the "same" configuration backup... over & over to get me up and running. As I mentioned in the beginning of this saga... I believed Netgear needed to adjust something with the Firmware Update Server. My CAX80 has been up and running without rebooting for ~1 day and 13 hours.- No [DoS attack] LAND Attack SPT:2190 DPT:2190 Log messages since Sun Jun 19 21:50:56 2022 and the false "A Router Firmware Update is Available" banner message is gone. Don't want to declare victory just yet... waiting to see if the CAX80 keeps running without rebooting for a few days. It "looks" like someone in Netgear listened.
On Xfinity today:
- I do not see the "A Router Firmware Update is Available" message. Then again, it has disappeared and come back before.
- I haven't had a disconnection in 21 hours. Then again, I've made the ~40 hour mark before.
- I still get 4-7 LAND Attacks per hour (usually 4-5 of them within the same log entry / time), so they're not gone, at least on Xfinity.
- By adjusting Cable Connection -> Starting Frequency, I did manage to change my Downstream Bonded Channels from the 405MHz-597MHz range to the 483MHz-675MHz range, after the last disconnect. So even if the disconnects fully disappear, I won't be able to tell if it's because Xfinity actually deployed a "CAX80 2.1.3.7 workaround" (more likely), or because my Downstream Bonded Channel range changed (less likely).
Well, from what I can see I have not had a reboot in 48 hours. Unlike others, it was only rebooting between 3am-5am daily and I have been here, watching/working remotely, during that time period and I never lost internet.
However, I'm STILL getting the DoS land attacks from the IP my ISP has assigned to me. Optimistically holding my proverbial breath . . .
Alright ladies and gens, it is day 2 of a smooth operation.
Looking forward to problemless FW updates in the future.
Thank you for all the hardwork NG.
