RBR850 rebooting multiple times/day
I am 16 months into the journey with the RBR850 and my manageable stability (1 spontaneous reboot of the RBR850/day) has moved to multiple, sometimes multiple per hour. I am running the current offic...
Yep - more than a day of uptime! sounds like victory, but ... :) Anyway, good to go and now i just have toe figure out a VPN solution.
Hi FURRYe38 Thanks for tresponding.
Yetsreday when i was there to see it the reset was teh RBR850. I say that as it went through the flashing white light start-up. The one overnight i can't say as i'm (possibly sadly) using a nest camera) as my proxy for netgear drops. If you have a more precise way of telling then feel free to direct me.
The path from cable entry is cat6 from Netgear CM1000 -> Linksys WRT3200ACM (as an ethernet pass through (no WiFi etc, flashed as ExpressVPN) -> RBR850. I have one Netgear GS105 L2 switches in the path
Typical number of devcies connected is c. 60-70 (per my IP scanner) and the RBR/RBS reports a number around 40 typically. Blend of wired and wireless. One RBS850 is ethernet backhaul and one is Wireless connected to the RBR. Both around 50' distant with 'good' connection status. House is about 3500sqft 2 level with good space to neightbours
The current set up variables are:
AX on 5GHz only
2.4GHX on 11, CTS 2347
5GHz on 48, CTS of 512
Guest network handling external devices from solar/battery
Set to Router mode
Hope that helps. I have changed out PSu for the RBR and tried w and w/o the UPS providing power and that seems not to be cuasing the blips.
Thx in advance

Netgear CM1000 -> RBR850-> RBSOr if you need the Linksys in the mix, configure the RBR for AP mode instead of router mode: CM1000 -> Linksys WRT3200ACM -> RBR850(AP mode)
Thanks for the suggestion FURRYe38 and I will try that this evening, but i have my whole house is going through the VPN, as I am not a fan of exposing my traffic to my ISP (FCC ruling relaxation on ISP ability to monitor and monetize consumer internet habits)
Then configure AP mode on the RBR. This should stop the rebooting I hoping.
You can try putting the RBR in the Linksys DMZ as well if you want to keep both in router mode. Not sure if this will stop the reboots if the Linksys is still online. It may. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
https://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NATThanks again FURRYe38,
I will give these steps a whirl overnight once the network becomes less mission essential for the house.
By putting the RBR850 into AP mode, i presume you mean moving the DHCP issuance role to the Linksys. If so, then 'OK' and i can see.On a related note, can you help me conceptually understand why the RBR might have issues that would cause a crash/reset from something on the 'incoming' intenet side of the chain? I had assumed that at worst it would say 'unable to connect to the internet', but to me (as a s/w & H/W eng) it seems it shouldn't just reset unless a watchdogh or similar out of spec event happens in its code.
