Linksys EA6500v2 random reboots everyday @ 2020.6 / 2020.5 / 2020.4

[Mark Shaw]

Two devices, same model(linksys ea6500v2), same issue, same firmware type(AIO), tested versions:

• 2020.4
• 2020.5
• 2020.6

Backed to 2020.2 version, it’s stable for 3 days(maybe longer).

Before every upgrading, I’v clear the NVRAM, formatted the JFFS file system, restored by my settings, as listed:

  dhcpd_
  dnsmasq_
  dns_
  tm_
  ntp_
  wl[0-9]_security_mode
  wl[0-9]_ssid
  wl[0-9]_wpa_psk
  wl[0-9]_country_code
  wl[0-9]_txpwr
  wan_ppp_
  wan_proto
  wan_dns
  smbd_
  portforward
  sshd_
  script_
  ddns
  jffs2_exec
  jffs2_on
  http_root
  http_passwd
  sch_c1
  sch_c2
  ipv6_service
  ipv6_tun_addr
  ipv6_tun_addrlen

  ipv6_prefix
  ipv6_rtr_addr
  block_wan
  ctf_disable
  multicast_
  lan_hostname

Syslog logged nothing about crashing / reboot, even tried to “Log To Remote System”.

Any suggestion or information?

thanx a lot.

It might have something to do with the new SDK introduced in 2020.3.

Did you load the ctf module by the way?

[Mark Shaw]

Thanks for reply. Yes, I enabled CTF module.

BTW, Router’s uptime is 9 days @2020.2 version.

[domosekai]

I had the same issue on N18U with ctf on. Unloading it helped but the performance sucks.

Now I am back to the old SDK. See if the SDK was the right one to blame.

[M_ars]

please test 2020-8 final. (no backup, start from scratch)

we have a lot of changes for wifi and ctf. (i have R7000 and RT-N18U with 30 > days uptime with ctf enabled)

[Mark Shaw]

Uptime 5 days, 23:45:02

[M_ars]
