    I actually have an issue that is similar. My server goes unresponsive/freezes after N hours of uptime. N is a variable, so far meassured between 6 and 72 hours. I tried working around it, by auto-rebooting the server each night. But it still sometimes happen before the 24 hour mark.

    Nothing in logs, so my best option is to auto-reboot at this time. 😆

      I just solved this exact issue after living with it for a few months.

      For me it was a bad PSU, voltage drop probably stopping the HDDs and SSDs, which knocked over the Kernel

      Hey, I have the same thing for my second router that works as an extender, to cover some remote area. I auto-reboot it every 3 hours during the day (I don’t during the night). Sometimes, it stops transmitting data before the 3 hours mark, so I have to go and physically reboot it. It always helps, while there are very rare occasions when this software reboot does not help.

      I have no idea what’s going on. I’ve bought it cheap as a broken one, but re-flashing it to OpenWrt seems like solved all its issues. However, I’m not qualified to say there’s no issues with it. It’s just that from a user perspective, it works exceptionally well. I see no issues. Except this forced auto-reboot thing, but I think it could be me not understanding the networking properly, and doing something wrong / not optimal. It gets the signal wirelessly via 5 GHz band (for speed) and shares it via 2.4 GHz band (for the distance). I fixed some obvious mistakes with the help of a GPT, which seems to work better now. But I’m not really sure. Could be that it’s winter and it was cold in there, I have to see how it’ll behave during the summer.

      Honestly, I even started thinking maybe it has no issues now, and I can remove that cron job. But I think I can live with being offline for a minute or two a few times a day, when I’m in that remote location.

      Yeah, I mean. Tried to compliment your story with mine.
