  Judging by my experience, router software probably has memory leaks so it eventually runs out of available memory and stops working properly.

  This is more so if you’re using it for something that open and closes a ton of connections, such as torrenting. In fact maybe 1 or 2 decades ago when those things had less memory the low and mid end quality routers couldn’t handle torrenting directly (so, were the router had to route each new connection, not behind a VPN were its the VPN-server that does it) without dying in a few hours.

    Consumer routers use neither ECC nor registered or buffered memory, so i guess it’s just the odd bit flip after weeks of running, in most cases.

  Bonus points if you had to bend a paperclip to push the reset button

  I feel like — like myself — no one on Lemmy would actually like this. For me, my router is a mini PC running Alpine Linux and it’s likely the modem (which I own) is having problems with the physical cable connection but if I were using an all-in-one shit box from the ISP there would be no way of knowing.

  All this to say, if restarting the router “fixes” things there’s likely a deeper, more unsettling problem happening that’s not being diagnosed.

    Came here to say just this. ISP box goes into a Debian board with 10 gigE uplink to my actual switching. I asked if I could replace the XGPON-ONT by SFP+s but Alas the sales agent was rather confused and basically said “why?!”…

    For me, it was openwrt bouncing the external interface during a DHCP renewal, even when the IP didn’t change. They still haven’t fixed that. I patch the stupid file every upgrade.

    But yeah, at least I could fix it!

      Isn’t openwrt open-source? If you fixed it on your machine, couldn’t you submit a PR to their codebase?

      I've actually got the exact same issue - how did you end up fixing it?
