Wi-Fi and System Info Log General

Hey Peeps,

 

My WiFi has dropped out twice (2nd time about half hour ago), like completely dropped out. Devices came up saying internet not available, but is fine on wired connection. I had to change the WiFi channel from 7 to 8 back to 7 again, it was back on. But then I checked the log. A lot of:

Sun Dec 23 19:32:45 2018 kern.info dpiclass-daemon: Kill flow due to timeout

Sun Dec 23 19:33:18 2018 kern.info kernel: [256715.884000] recv: nf_ct_get failed

Sun Dec 23 19:31:34 2018 user.warn com.netdumasoftware.settings: Error opening wireless-mirror with error wireless-mirror: No such file or directory.

Sun Dec 23 19:32:02 2018 daemon.notice miniupnpd[1406]: http://192.168.88.1:5000/rootDesc.xml not found, responding ERROR 404

and generally a lot of errors and failed this that and the other. Anything to be worried about?

I get this roughly once a week. My log looks exactly the same. I've managed to narrow it down to being something wrong with when the DHCP lease renews.

Has this continued for you both?

Have you set anything specific for DHCP in your Network Settings? I'm not sure if the cause is there (could just be a random drop out), but would be good to know if you share similar settings.

mine used to drop near enough everyday, got advised to increase my DHCP lease time in the duma so I put it at the max 168 hours, 7 days. Nearly always on that 7th day my wifi drops and I have to do a manual change of the wifi channel to get it back.

WiFi connection seems to be touch and go sometimes. It will be fine, then seems to struggle every now and then, and then just return to normal until next time it struggles. No pattern to it, and no trigger. Log is still full of 'failed' and 'timeout' text.

I wouldn’t worry about the failed and timeout messages. It’s just for devs and it’s almost always about something completely innocuous that won’t affect your experience. 

Are you now just seeing slower speeds or are the full dropouts still happening?

Had a full drop out today, wired included. I was at work though so couldn't grab the log for when it happened, all the log said when I got home was the good old kill flow to timeout. I think its just my duma is getting old and has taken a couple too many knocks and is beginning to struggle.

I'd set some static IPs for your most important devices and see if they drop as well at the end of the DHCP lease or not

So WiFi just dropped on the seventh day like usual, even devices with static IPs dropped too. Simple fix like always, a quick change of the wifi channel and all back up running again.

I starred out what I'm guessing are mac addresses to some of my devices.

Log for when the WiFi dropped -

How many devices do you have? Would it be much more of a hassle to give remaining devices wired & wireless static IPs/reservations and then disable the DHCP server? 

I have anywhere between 10-20 devices connected at a time, I can try and give them all static IPs and turn off the DHCP server when I get some time.

Okay let us know if that resolves it, if so then looks like DHCP server causes issues even when devices are set to static.

Just out of curiosity would I be able to still use the Duma if I turn off DHCP on the Smart Hub

You would - you;ll just need to assign a static WAN IP on the R1 because it won't be assigned an IP address from the Hub anymore
