R7960P - Router failing or?
Unusual Problem just cropped up. The router fails to work periodically. When that happens lights all seem to work (lit or flashing periodically) except you can't connect to the router. Interesting...
Ok, enabling IPv6 did not help much. I get about 30hrs between crashes. So I ma trying the last part. Running with IPv6 disabled again.
Are you streaming or is the router under heavy load when the crash happens?
Wondering if there is something else going on with your Router. Doesn't seem like this is a FW issue. Thought I did a factory reset and setup from scratch yesterday since I fiddled with IPv6 and it was enabled by accident, Mines been online since the day the new FW appeared and has been online solid. No DNS issues seen so far. 32 Devices connected.
Possible there is something causing the router to crash or the router maybe faulty.
I keep a fan under my router for additional cooling.
