1 -2 times per day router goes offline
I have an rbr850 on the latest firmware however 1-2 times per day the system completely goes offline (like a reboot) everything in the house wireless or wired loosed connectivity. Its random but see...
I have been dealing with this for many months now i get the same basic questions that are not related to anything. I believe there its either firmware or HW issue on the device.
When a physical device plugged into the port losses internet it has nothing to do with distance and all the questions.
The problem is there is not enough logging on the device to tell if the device rebooted, crashed, or what happened. I thought it might be the logged I had enabled filling up and causing a reboot to flush so i turned it down. However, I get at least 1 time per day when my internet drop.
The SSID stops Broadcating, and physical or wifi enabled device drop for about 1 minute or so. I can pull the power and reboot which fixes it or it comes backonline in1-2 minutes which tells me the router rebooted or crashed.
Same for me, router worked without any issues since purchased in 2019. Since February it goes offline many times a day. I get notifications from one of my Wi-Fi thermostats that it lost connection. If I check router via app, it shows it's offline. This lasts for several minutes and then comes back online and everything is good again. Nothing has changed with my setup, physically or otherwise so also don't believe all of the separation and SF of house has anything to do with it. Router says it's up to date. Either something has changed with firmware or it's faulty router.
