Hi everyone
I was wondering if you can help me, I have a Linksys WRT160Nv3 running dd wrt build 13575M. It usually works fine but this morning as I was using my phone, the internet suddenly stopped working, with all pages displaying a white page with the word reset at the top, on my ipad as well so it isn't the device. This happened for about a minute, then the internet began to work again. I went in to my router admin and it didn't seem to have gone down. Does anyone know what this is and how I can stop it from happening again?
Update: I tried turning off DNSmasq, as once before dnsmasq lost connection to the dns servers for about ten minutes so this could be the cause this time, I'lll see how this goes
I have also updated my router to the latest firmware - will that help? I noticed it has stopped accepting internet requests a few time recently, do you think it was the old firmware? It never shows signs of a problem but I can tell something inside it reset. Also I noticed something called cron was enabled apparently it is a system scheduler so I turned it off, maybe this will help? I'm probably doing something wrong, but I'm new to dd-wrt, so please can you help me? EDIT: I have updated to the latest recommended build 14929
I think I may have found out the cause of my problem! I don't know how to fix it, but I'm hoping someone here will I think the problem is after 24 hours, when the dhcp leases renew, that is when my connection drops for about a minute and all web pages say 'reboot' or 'reset' I can't remember which. Is there a way to stop the dhcp, if it is the problem, from dropping the internet connection?
