Random Reboot on WDR36000

Post by fedeciad »

Hi, I've got a TP-Link WDR3600. I used OpenWRT for one years without issues, now I've installed Gargoyle since one month and an annoying problem occurring randomly.
Sometimes the router reboot spontaneously. It reboot itself and turn operative in 1 minute (wifi switch off and then I see the uptime restarted). Often while I'm using torrent and browser, other times only while browsing on youtube for example. Maybe for too global connection?

I'm using the router on AP+WDS mode, bandwith limiter (in the quotas tab) and dual band wifi (2.4 + 5ghz). Running Gargoyle 1.8.0

Any tips?

Maybe Quotas are the problem, now I'm testing without this option.

Thanks for reporting

If you can create a procedure that can induce the problem straight away Eric will fix the bug in no time flat.

Had the same problem on my old WRT160nl. I thought it was his end of life time after many years heavy usage. Replaced it by a Netgear WNDR4300.
Also have the same problem with the random reboots. After removing the quatas (not just disabling), the reboots are gone. Thinking backwards, the problem started approximately version 1.7.2. Sadly i haven't now quatas anymore, so please fix this problem :cry:
