Topic: Open ports, close up, after a day...

The content of this topic has been archived on 6 May 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello.

The last two days I've noticed that all traffic stops coming through and I have to reboot my router. I have ports such as 80, 20, 37, 443, 25, etc... open, but for the last two days they close up and I need to restart the router.

Aka I have to reboot my router so people can access my website, or I receive email.

What can I do to track down this problem? What trouble shooting steps can I take when this happens?

Also, as far as I know, I haven't changed any of the configuration settings on the router. I've had kamikaze installed on it with my current configuration for the past month. Is this a sign the router might be going bad?

Thanks!

You're probably running into this bug.

Hmm... Thanks...

I tried that patch and compiled the image, but there was something wrong. The router would always reboot and it was in a fairly unusable state. Not sure if it was me installing xwrt, restoring my config, etc...

So I reinstalled the vanilla kamikaze I worked with luci which seems nice. I'll see what happens from this point.

Why would that issue just start affecting me now though?
