He completely ignored the bouncing red ball. All of the patches I listed were for reference. What actually fixed the issue in OpenWRT were the combination of all, but specifically the last two patches, one for the driver and one for the dts file. I guess we'll see what we see when we see it. Hold on to your bricks.

Read my updated comment prior to yours in the ticket. I will roll a 42617M in the morning and test it on 1.0.12 u-boot device unless something takes precedence (like $$$). You may want to go look at the openwrt git for the latest 4.14.x kernel patches while you're reading as well as file history. I was doing a half dozen things when I posted the information in the ticket and closed and re-opened it. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

can try this and see if BS fixed the reboot problem ---
'EA8500 r42617'
Well it may be early to say, but I have updated to this build and the problem appears to be resolved...I have soft rebooted from the Administration tab twice and both times the router came back up with a good WAN connection. Working great so far!
thanks Chronoscape for letting us know and yea, I figured it would work ok for you now.
If you run across any other EA8500 users with this problem just tell them to use DD-WRT r42617 or newer bulid
if y'all done goofin around maybe yous folks with the EA8500 u-boot version:
U-Boot 2012.07 [Standard IPQ806X.LN,r40331] (Oct 12 2015 - 17:00:55)
1.0.12
can try this and see if BS fixed the reboot problem ---
'EA8500 r42617'
both my EA8500 are:
U-Boot 2012.07 [Standard IPQ806X.LN,r40331] (Mar 16 2015 - 16:29:21)
CBT U-Boot ver: 1.0.9
soft reboot using r42617 still works just fine with mine but they both always did with previous builds anyways.
I'd never checked but just found I have 1.0.12 uboot. I then updated to r42617 via webflash and fnally NO power cycle was required so success here. Thanks again mrjcd and BS
