My router seems to lock up often. It's fairly new. Worked well for a month or so, but I've had to 30/30/30 reset it several times now out of nowhere. If I don't 30/30/30, lights start to come on, flicker a bit, and then it resets w/o ever letting me access the router.
- Netgear R8500
- DD-WRT v3.0-r29200M kongac (03/05/16)
- Linux 4.4.4 #43 SMP Sat Mar 5 23:51:59 CET 2016 armv7l
Not overclocked & TX Power not changed / modified.
Pretty standard home setup with several wireless items, a single wired connection and openVPN running.
Commands:
- 6 lines to prevent WAN traffic if VPN dies.
- Long script to block ads

Any ideas?
Is there a newer firmware I should try?
Thank you.
One of the reasons why I went back to 3.10 kernel, there is a bug in the bridging code that prevents packages from flowing and sometimes causes crashes, while I was able to fix the crash it would require more work to eliminate the other effects, thus I'm waiting for upstream in order to fix the issue. _________________ KONG PB's: http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/

Without sounding like too much of a noob, when you say "factory reset" do you mean the 30/30/30 method, Administration -> Factory Defaults -> "Yes" -> "apply settings," or do you mean something else?
And that should fix the issue Kong mentioned, or is this issue a work in progress? I'm sure this is all discussed somewhere. I'm searching, but unable to find it.
