3rd Party Firmware

[BSilverthorn]

So in less than 2 months for 3 rd time in 9 months I back to XR1000 not routing again. Looks healthy, can login, etc.. It just magicly gets slow then stops routing, numerous reboots or power offs do not fix it, the only fix is the TFTP solution basicly. Luckily now I keep a cheap TPlink router setup and on for when this thing pukes, so I just move 3 cables and the house is back online, while I tftp the darn thing.

While I wait on the next firmware release, I was curious if anyone has a 3rd party suggestion, I do not see the XR1000 on openwrt or freshtomato.  I don't want to reload this again, its just to much to mess with so often. Looking for alternative until the new firmware releases for XR1000. Any have any another solution they are running on the XR1000?

What is the IP of the modem/router the XR is connected to?

10.1.1.1

Very odd behavior, but I just switch the router out and im back up. Factory reset sometimes does it as well. So odd, as no rapp errors, no slowness per say. Just traffic stops. leave off for a day, makes do difference.

If you go to OpenWRT for example there is no guarantee you'd be able to get back onto DumaOS software and of course your warranty, if you have any would then be void as well.

If you still have access when it happens grab the logs before a reboot and it may tell us more.

I'll check openWRT, warranty is gone now. If it happens again when the new firmware comes out ill let you know and grab the logs. For now, Iam close to going office space on it so best it run something else, and move on. Not to concerned on getting back to Duma, I saved all the old firmwares so I can TFTP. If I can't I just get more time back added back.

Thanks Fraser, ill take a look. Apprecaite all your help.
