Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 21:52 Post subject: Please help with strange internet loss
Hi all
So i got myself a R7000 and loaded dd-wrt on it. Its connected to a TP link modem which is bridge to the R7000.
Now most of the time it work fine but from time to time i keep losing internet access and i dont know why.
Wifi still works fine and i can access NAS drives but the internet seems to die.
The modem shows no errors itself and seem to hold up it end f the connection but something between the modem and the router is not agreeing and kills the connection.
Im fairly new to dd wrt and with so many options don't really understand what it could be etc etc.
I have just turned syslog on as it wasn't at first but is there anything i should be looking out for or anything that would cause such issues.

Many thanks in advance
What ddwrt version have you flashed? Have you done an erase nvram?
As i say it seems to work but then every so often seem to have a little wobble and a few minutes later is ok again.
The modem has no errors and holds the connection.
The syslog doesn't bring up anything either.
Under Administration - commands execute
erase nvram && reboot
This will reset everything. Try just setting up the basic like wifi security, channels and not much more than that. Test it a few days to see if that works for now.
are you using wifi scheduling? That caused something for me. Apparently in some older builds the router would crash X (for me it was about 30) minutes after wifi scheduled to turn off
You can also from the command line interface, type "ddup --flash-latest" and update to the latest <Kong> and see if that resolves things for you... _________________ Netgear R7000 w/r31780M <KONG> build
Netgear R6700 (Un-opened with stock. My backup/emergency router if the R7000 takes a dump...)
2x Buffalo WHR-HP-GN 28493 (Used for 2.4 Ghz bridge when needed.)
Asus WL-500g Premium (1x v1 & 1x v2) (Still have, but retired for now.)
1x Linksys WRT54G v8 >>DD-WRT v24SP1 (The other routers needed something to point at and make fun of.)
Last night i flash lastest stable firmware and then unplugged it and left it in a cool spot overnight.
It has a cooler underneath it which i thought may help it but it still seems to do it.
On my modem the log says "lan 4 link down" then "lan 4 link up" which is the link to the R7000. The modem is working fine so its not that. It seems the r7000 is restarting or something
heres the latest log when it happens

It then starts repeating this time and time again.
