Help understanding a lock out

[DroopyBits]

Hi all,
Can someone help me understand what's happening with my router?
Earlier today the wired interfaces stopped working. I rebooted (wireless still worked). About an hour later they stopped working again.
In my traffic history there was a small amount of traffic (up and down) from an unknown ip address (a couple of megabytes over the period).
Anything I can do to diagnose this if it happens again?
Is there any way to add a range of addresses to the restrictions list?

I'm running Gargoyle 1.9.1 on a TPlink archer C7 v2
Thanks

SSH or install the "logread plugin"

paste the output here

Close to when it fails would be good

The next level is a logread data logger

But the first question to ask is:

most people are not having this problem, what is different about your network?

explain this in more detail.

Can you ping the router?

Code: Select all

ping 192.168.1.1 -t

Thanks for your responses.
I was away from the computer when the router failed. I would come back to discover that nothing connected to a physical interface could communicate with the router - ping failed for machines directly connected with a cable. Wireless was still working though and I could log in to the admin interface, but I think that I could not surf the web.
When I checked the bandwidth usage (on both reboot occasions) there was an entry that wasn't of the form 192.168.1.xxx
Since, when this happens I can't ssh to it (no client on my wireless device) I'll need to set up a log server. That might take me a day or so.

could be a hardware failure

I have not had the lock outs repeated (3 in a day, none since), so I am shelving this for the time being.
