R6900 locking up
After I power off my Oculus 2 VR headset, the router locks up. I am unable to re-connect to the router (wired and wireless). I am at firmware 1.0.2.16_10.0.42 Has anyone else experienced this? I u...
I believe the R6900 had some hardware issue. I am not sure. If I get really motivated I might do more probing.
But after replacing it with a different router, I have not had any issues for the past two days, even with the Oculus 2 being
powered off. The R6900 only lasted for 2 - 3 years. I bought it from Costco.
I'm going to mark this as resolved.
I suspect that the router is having hardware issues. In addition to the router being unavailable after using Oculus 2, the router has started intermittently dropping all devices and within a few seconds or so coming back. This results in a minute or more of interrupted video conference calls, etc. The interruptions have been gradually getting worse from infrequent, to more than once per day. I don't think the Oculus 2 VR headset had anything to do with the outages. Yesterday, I swapped out the router for another one and will see how things look today.
