Using PPTP VPN caused the router to restart unexpectedly.
I'm using a PPTP VPN built into my computer (router B) to connect to a remote router (router A). Then, I use Windows File Explorer to copy files from router A's SMB network drive to my computer. The connection drops after a few seconds, and checking router A's management interface reveals it has automatically restarted.
This problem has existed since I bought the router, so I've had to use other VPN connection methods.
