There goes the 12 day re-boot again

Rik · Mar 16, 2008, 18:51:51

My router has just re-booted at 12 days, 12 hours and 17 minutes, give or take a few minutes.

Weird.

cavillas · Mar 16, 2008, 19:21:32

That's apx. 300 hours. Does your router have a 300 hour lease set on it at all? Just a silly thought.

Rik · Mar 16, 2008, 19:31:41

Not that I've been able to find, Alf.

Even if it did, why not just renew the lease - instead it goes for a full power-cycle reboot.

Is there anything on the scream forum about a 300hr reboot with the SBC firmware?

Rik · Mar 16, 2008, 19:54:09

Haven't looked, tbh, Glenn. I rarely get outside this place.

Glenn · Mar 16, 2008, 19:59:13

You may find reference to the problem in here there are 44 pages to wade through though.

Rik · Mar 16, 2008, 20:00:37

Only 44, it's lucky they haven't got us amongst them.

Thanks, Glenn, I'll take a look in the morning.

Sebby · Mar 16, 2008, 21:34:46

Mine is exactly the same, Rik. It's always at around the 12 day mark. It's a very strange one!

Rik · Mar 17, 2008, 08:14:47

Isn't it, Sebby. I could understand it dropping PPP due to a leasing issue, but it's a full power cycle it does. I'm beginning to wonder if it's something to do with the US telecomms system, ie a design requirement for over there.

cavillas · Mar 17, 2008, 09:36:35

Another random thought, Rik. Does the router try to do a check with BT every 12 days and because it can't reboots?

Rik · Mar 17, 2008, 09:43:09

I don't think so, Alf, as it has the SBC firmware and doesn't phone home. Sebby also has this issue, and is also running SBC. Those with the BT firmware don't seem to see it. I hate puzzles.

cavillas · Mar 17, 2008, 09:54:02

Puzzles I don't mind, not being able to solve them really gets me though and I don't have a 2700 either yet I can emphasize with your aggravation. Got to lay down now too many long words for this time of morning.

Rik · Mar 17, 2008, 09:58:42

I know how you feel, Alf.

Sebby · Mar 17, 2008, 13:05:39

I think this is a puzzle we won't be able to piece together...

Rik · Mar 17, 2008, 13:06:03

One day, Sebby, one day.

Rik · May 11, 2008, 18:52:41

Once again, bang on the 300 hour mark - I thought it was tomorrow, I must learn to count!

Cookiemonster · May 11, 2008, 19:01:06

Just been reading this and i must say I'm very bamboozled about it! Is it just you that this seems to affect?

Rik · May 11, 2008, 19:05:19

Sebby had the same problem, Steve. It seems peculiar to single SSID models with the SBC formware.

Cookiemonster · May 11, 2008, 19:09:51

Does it affect your sync in anyway or do you just reboot at the same

Rik · May 11, 2008, 19:13:05

It dropped 80k this time, but it hasn't affected the profile. I try to remember to shut the router down overnight on day 11, which ensures synch isn't affected, but I haven't yet written an automatic reminder program.

Cookiemonster · May 11, 2008, 19:16:40

lol!! Well at least that's something.

Lance · May 11, 2008, 19:50:16

Could you set a reminder using a recurring event in Outlook's calendar?

Rik · May 11, 2008, 19:56:57

Or on my Palm, Lance. Just keep forgetting to do it. As it's 12 days 12 hours, a re-boot on the morning of the 12th day would do nicely.

Glenn · May 11, 2008, 20:43:13

Rik, if you use Outlook or something, put a reminder in the calendar

Sebby · May 12, 2008, 00:04:28

How about a timer plug, Rik?
