Hi everyone,
I'm having this very strange issue that when my PC crashes the router no longer provides an internet connection. I can see it's still connected but it seems like it just drops all packets. I've contacted my ISP and they've confirmed there are no outages or anomalies on my line.
I've tried doing fresh installs of stock and fresh installs of merlin. This behaviour still happens and the internet drops to all devices in the house wireless and wired.
We have power outages at times, my PC is on a battery. When drawing 400w+ of power it will switch off and that causes the issue with internet dropping (without disconnecting on router). The router and ONT are both on their own UPS and remain uninterrupted.
In terms of my PC crashing, I test OC's and it crashes from time to time, when it crashes the internet drops same as above.
Would anyone happen to know what could be the cause of this strange behaviour?
When this happens I will have to restart the router and ONT for the internet to behave normally again.
