Netduma R2 stops working and needs power cycle to fix

[Timzyy]

Hi, my Netduma R2 has recently started to stop working, the internet goes down and when I try access Duma OS (192.168.77.1) via computer on ethernet nothing loads up. The only way i found to resolve the issue was to unplug the router and plug it back on. So far it happened around 12:30 am on Sunday and 5 days later today Friday 9pm.

Welcome to the forum!

Sorry to hear you're having this issue, what firmware version are you on currently? In LAN Settings > DHCP set the lease hours to 168 then apply, reboot from the interface and see if it goes longer without the issue happening.

My firmware is version: 3.2.453

I've done what you said, hopefully it resolves the problem, ill let you know if it occurs again.

Hi, same issue has occurred again just now, and it might have also done so about 2 weeks ago

It might happen once a week, would you say that's accurate? If so it's definitely the DHCP lease renewal causing it.

In LAN Settings, 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.
