Yes, if you run out of memory, BANG, reset. If you rev the CPU load too high(torrents), BANG, it will reset.


Read carefully.
Reset TO FACTORY SETTINGS.
Read Carefully. I said reset, not re-boot.

or else I guess I'm not sure what other kind of resets there are then Alberto. If you know of other kinds of resets please share....As far as I know, a reset is a reset and there is only one option.... FACTORY SETTINGS

First time I hear that a router crash can clear NVRAM.
How do you think this can happen?

That question needs to be addressed to the devs, all I know is that I can make it happen at will all day long.

I suspected not, your not as polished as alberto is. Just wanted to make sure.

So what you are basically saying is that the developers are morons who reset nvram when the router crashes? It could be... but are you sure?

I don't think that is what he is saying. What he said is that you'll need to address that question to the developers, because he doesn't have an answer for it. Neither do I. All I know is that this has not happened to me yet (knock on wood).

Many thanks to the posters above, esp. Donny, who directed me to the Peacock sticky. I have since started flashing all our Buffalo WHR-HP-G54's with the 11296 build, as suggested (among others), and when we have to field service the v24 SP1 units that lose their settings due to power spikes, we'll update those as well. I will report back to this forum as to whether the "mystery reboots" are solved, better or unchanged with this build, if anyone cares.

Nor to me. Someone else can confirm this behaviour? Never heard of it.

I do.

This is an extremely old thread... initially reporting problems with builds from two years ago. V23.

I can pull the power on my units and never have to reset them, IF they were set up properly at the outset. That 11296 build is a very stable build for your routers. If you continue to have problems after installing 11296, start a new thread on it an people will try to help.

I appreciate your words of thanks and encouragement, especially given some of the HO/98 responses that appeared above.

I am very interested in your findings.
Since you keep the same CFE, unfortunately your odds are very slim.
Let us know.

No ! I did not say that at all. however I will say this, you are pissing me off, lose your attitude or log out and lose the password. you are clearly a troubled soul to come here and make bad comments about the software or the devs.

if I was you I would think twice before you opened you mouth again, the advice you take from the people here just might brick your rig as a result of the attitude you are displaying.

@gene.. I agree.. you did not call the dev's a bunch of morons.

Alberto may be having a bad day.. He is Italian Razz (before I get flamed, I am also of Italian heritage)

I'm just not feeling to love here.

soulstace clearly does not reach flash point as quickly as I do. soulstace explained what I said with extreme clarity and was dead on.

I'll repeat, I can cause the router to reset at will by running it out of memory and on many firmware test builds I have seen the CPU load average run wild and when the web gui becomes unresponsive, with no other choice, I unplug the unit and re-power it only to find that it had reset to factory. I am reporting what I have experienced. This is beta software, it has bugs, I know it, but I don't call the devs morons because they have not found all the bugs yet.

lol, I'll be happy to back off if he can convince me that he's not the moron.

I had this mysteryous reset problem while you and I and donny were working on the subnet problem several months back barry.
