R2 disconnecting at random

Recommended Posts

Alright so I have an odd situation. I've had times where my R2 disconnects me from the internet with no real reason behind it, usually when I'm playing Destiny 2 on my PS5. The only way to fix it is to do a full power cycle of the modem. When this started happening about a week ago I decided to check for updates to the firmware to see if it could be the reason for it, to which there was an update available. After installing and doing a factory reset a couple times to make sure everything was fresh it seemed to get better. I now however have an issue where when I put the PS5 into its rest mode, after coming back out of it there's a drop of all my connections until I do a full power cycle of the modem. I decided to do some testing, first by turning the system completely off, saving a log, turning it on, saving a log, and then repeating the process again after putting the system into rest mode and coming back out of it. I honestly have no idea what's going on, also and this could be completely unrelated but last night I noticed I was launching into things on Destiny 2 that were supposed to have matchmaking solo, such as the seasonal playlist, open areas and so forth, but that could just be an issue with the game itself. I've attached all the logs I could grab, hopefully they can shed some light onto what's going on.

Thanks for all the details, in LAN Settings, set the DHCP lease time to 168 hours and set the DHCP range to start at .50, then assign reserved IP addresses to devices between .2 & .49 so they're out of the DHCP range, apply, reboot from the interface, wait 2 minutes and see if that stops the disconnects.

Thanks for the quick response, I didn't get a chance to try it again until just now. I did everything that was suggested but it definitely still seems to happen, and I can pretty much replicate it at will. If I turn my PS5 all the way off then back on everything is fine, but if I try the same thing when it's in rest mode it doesn't connect as online and when I look at my computer it's also off along with my other devices. There's something about the rest process for that system that's kicking the internet off for some reason.

Thanks for trying! Have you made any settings changes related to ports e.g. Port Forwarding/Triggerring, UPnP or DMZ by any chance? Is the Geo-Filter on/off while the console is in rest mode and when booting up? How is it connected, via ethernet or WiFi and if you switch the connection type does it happen on both?

I haven't made any changes to anything related to the ports but when I just looked at it I see there are some changes in the UPnP setting regarding the PS5 that I never put there, kinda weird. I have the Geo-Filter set to Off, only really turn it on if I'm playing like a CoD or something and need the good connection. It's connected via ethernet currently. I just switched it over to WiFi to test and it didn't have the same issue, but then when I went back to the wired connection it wouldn't do it either so I'm baffled. Maybe that UPnP that I don't recognize fixed the issue?

Alright so it's still an issue. Everything was going fine with my connection all night, the system wasn't turned off and didn't drop while playing. However once I just got done and put it into rest mode again then went to check my phone the connection was gone, and the same for the PC upstairs. Only way to get it back is a power cycle so I'm not sure what the issue could be but it definitely seems to trigger when putting the PS5 into rest mode for some reason.

Thanks for letting us know, I've sent you a PM so please see if that improves it but if not then I think the best thing to do for the moment is for us to try and reproduce the issue. We've also got your logs as well so I'll pass those on to the devs. I'll get a colleague to try and reproduce it on Monday.

I've done as instructed and so far after an initial test it seems to be working correctly, I'll let you know if anything changes after an extended use test but it definitely wouldn't hurt to still try and reproduce the issue on your end to see if there's something I'm just not seeing or noticing. I've also enabled remote access to tech support should someone want to access things while I'm at work or so forth if we wanted to go that route as well.

Unfortunately after I ran the test it seems to still be an issue, although it didn't seem to kick off when putting the console into rest mode but instead when I turned it back on it did it this time.

Could we possibly enable some remote logging on your R2 and then have you reproduce the issue? That way we will have the full log from when the issue occurred causing the connection to drop.

If you could please disable IPv6 from the WAN and LAN settings, I should then be able to access it. Let me know if you're happy to do this. It will reboot your unit so let me know if there's any time during the day where you'd prefer for me not to reboot it.

I can certainly try to reproduce the issue as best I can though now it seems even more random then before. I've disabled the IPv6 in both places so you should have the access you need as far as I know, and I should be home for the next half hour or so to be able to try testing it but even if I'm not here you're more then welcome to access things, you have my permission.

Awesome thank you, I've just enabled the logging so apologies if the reboot disturbed you. If you could try reproducing the problem, then let me know if you're successful and at what time roughly that'd be amazing. Thank you.

Alright after 45 minutes of trying to replicate the issue I got it to happen. I was trying to turn the system off and on via their remote play app just for ease of use since my system is downstairs while my pc is upstairs. After a half hour of putting it into rest mode, turning it all the way off and back on, launching a couple different games with online play to see if that triggered anything I decided to use just the controller. Then around 1:09 PM EST, 13:09 in the logs, I started noticing my phone no longer connecting to an app, tried running a speed test and couldn't find the server so I rebooted the phone to no effect. I also tried loading a couple websites on the pc and still nothing. Went downstairs and saw the system wasn't showing me as online anymore and checking the network settings on it failed. So somewhere during that time is what's causing the issue. I've since rebooted both the R2 and my ISP modem to restore the connection and write this up, I hope it's able to help.

OK thanks for letting us know. I'll can't see anything too obvious in the logs but I'll get some developer insight too and let you know what we find.
