Hi everyone, i have set up my router and it has been running with out issue's for over a year. all of a sudden i lose wifi and ethernet. plus i can't login to the router gui. a simple power cycle fixes the issue. but with in 8 hours it does it again. i was running merlin 378.52.
i just updated to 378.55 and it still happens. before i try a reset and set everything back, which is a real time killer any thing i should look for that might be causing the issue?
Thanks

So do you perhaps have a lot of Apple devices?
It seems more than one person have issues related to Apple devices..

I'd make sure the router is not running too hot.

Thanks for the replies guys,
only 2 apple phones that rarely connect.
I'll keep an eye on the heat, maybe that's causing my issue.

You say you lose wifi, is that 2.4 or 5 GHz?
I had issues with my family complaining that 'internet got slow' after an uptime of 15-20 days on Merlins 378.55, this on 2.4GHZ.
A reboot usually solved the problem.

I loose it all, wifi and ethernet.
but it's been up for 2 days now. keeping an eye on it as it might have been a heat issue.
