R8000P seemingly random lock ups.
This problem happens at random intervals (about a week +) so difficult to track. After manually upgrading the firmware to version "1.4.1.82_1.3.40_hotfix" the router occasionally locked up - all ...
I don't have that model to test but it seems like the last 2 versions of firmware for it have caused issues.
Its lately been DNS issues. I haven't seen a whole lot of locking up issues.
If your current version stays stable, great. If it doesn't, did you try a factory reset in any of your firmware changes?
No I haven't yet tried the factory reset option in any of the FW changes. I'll give this FW a few days longer to try to validate the hardware and if OK then try reflashing the latest FW and do the factory reset. The later updates seem to have security patches so would like to update when possible.
Thanks.

P.S. Do you know if it is valid to 'backup settings', do a factory reset and the restore settings or is this just as likely to cause problems as not doing a factory reset?
OK, thanks for keeping us updated :)
Sorry updated my reply and then saw you had already responded.
