Hi again david64, i have not had a response RE request for new firmware for the router, should i post the request again? ... View more

Hi david64, Thankyou for the heads up re noting down (port forwarding, DDNS and reservations). Did not know about dynamic pool and have always used fixed addresses of 100 and up. Would this affect the router's operation causing the brainfarts that are showing in the log? Yes i am using port forwarding for the NVR because i could not remotely access the NVR's web interface otherwise. Not being "Network Wise" it took me hours of youtubing to get it working, so i had taken a screen shot of the settings page of NVR & port forwarding page on router as a reference, just in case the settings are lost. JPEGS of these are attached, please have a look in case iv'e set something incorrectly. These setting have worked for me me since the install but have not been stable (could not log in remotely 100% reliably). As for the inverter, i do not need access to the settings, the install company has set this up for me. I use the Fronius Solar Web application for real time monitoring only.   ... View more

Hi again david64 Not too sure what is meant by dynamic pool. Im not at the property at this time so just going from memory. Cannot connect directly to the router because it is tucked away (hidden) with the NVR away from the below wired devices. The NVR was set by me to 192.168.1.110, i fixed this using the binding setting in the router. The solar inverter is 192.168.1.108 again i fixed this using the router's binding setting. Both of these connected directly to the router. The third connection on the router is to the switch (about 12m away in the games room). Connected directly to switch located in other rooms are 2 x kodi boxes, 1 x gaming console, 1 x PC. Electrical interference could be an issue because all the ethernet outlets are installed right next to power points at all locations. This set up has worked fine for me for the last 3-4 years, issues have only started in the last 4-5 months so the switch itself would seem to be the most likey culprit. The switch was repurposed from an older install and is very old, approx 10yo, so i think this should be replaced as a matter of course, will look for a replacement today. Of greater urgency for me is the issue of self deleting settings, I have started a new thread requesting a firmware upgrade as you suggested, hopefully i will get a positive response soon. Thanks again david64 for taking the time to help, i have learned quite a lot from these short chats :)     ... View more

Thank you david64, All cameras are connected via LAN cables to an NVR which is connected in turn directly to the router via LAN cable (have assigned a fixed ip address for the NVR). A solar inverter is also connected directly to the router to allow remote monitoring. All other hard wired devices in the house connect to a 8 port ethernet switch which is also connected directly to the router. From your comment above re addresses dot 105 and dot 101 being affected together it looks like the ethernet switch may be the cause of the droppouts but could this account for the remainder of the arratic behaviour exhibited by the router? ...

Hi again david64. Visited the property this weekend and tried some of the things you suggested. Attached is the router log after clearing the log 0n 24-10-20 and the firmware version. Not being familiar with networking i do not realy follow what the logs mean but feel free to take a look to see if there is an issue obvious to you. One thing i noticed during the stay was that our kodi streaming box would stop streaming (freeze) then restart after a short time on multiple occasions.   2016-01-01 11:00:35 [5] System: DSL training

Hi David64, thanks for taking the time read and respond. I'm back home in Sydney now and as usual have lost connectivity to the the router (Hunter region). I will not be back at the property for another month so cannot check the log, what shoul I be looking for when checking this? Also, one point that i forgot to mention is that the issue will happen every time after I manually reboot the router. After having noticed this I made sure that I switched off Automatic Device Rebooting in the device mantainace settings of the router. ... View more
