Router unresponsive after some time, requires manual reboot
My TL-MR6400 randomly stops responding (as in, it's unreachable via WiFi or Ethernet).
I've tried everything I know and I'm unable to debug further! Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated :)
Hardware Version: TL-MR6400 v5 00000001
My current network is composed of:
- TL-MR6400 4G Router
- 3 Devolo Powerline adapters scattered around the house
- 1 Raspberry Pi server, streaming video camera to cloud
- 1 IP Camera (Reolink E1, if you must know)
- Usual clients (currently I've been alone, so… a MacBook, an iPhone, and an Apple Watch).
The router had been functioning properly until July 6th, until I've set up the Raspberry to stream continuously to the cloud (~400kbps bitrate) on July 6th. The first time I had the problem was on July 7th morning. Since then I have had to restart it 4 times manually.
I noticed I wasn't using the latest firmware. Updated it and the problem persists.
I'm able to get packets through my home network (via Powerline), but any attempt to ping the router results in a timeout:
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
There is no information in the System Log.
Router lights are all on (during normal operation, or when the problem happens).
The Router has a pretty standard configuration. The non-defaults include:
- Dynamic DNS (using tplinkdns.com)
- Virtual Servers / NAT Forwarding (HTTP and SSH)
- Some reserved IP addresses (Raspberry and IoT stuff)
