Hi guys, long time lurker first time poster :)

So after flashing the latest release of MerlinWRT, I've been experiencing intermittent router restarts for no apparent reason. Internet access is disrupted and the uptime on router is restarted. I've noticed in the system logs that there weren't any informative errors there.


What I did notice however many days of logs disappeared and the last line of the log before the restart happened is from weeks ago. Everything up till that point is gone, so there's a gap from that specific date till the router restarts again. I see a "time disparity error" in the newly booted logs and have no idea what to do to fix it. I'm using the same NTP service from before the firmware upgrade. The router time is not out of sync with system time or NTP time. Any help is appreciated. Removed IPs for privacy.

Code:

May 5 is the default date that the router uses each time it starts up and before it can correct it using NTP.

Thanks, that makes sense. Just 10 mins before the router restarted I decided to clear the logs to have a clearer picture of what happens without having weeks of logs stored. After the device auto reset, all my old logs are back again. Still can't solve the auto restart issue ):
 
We'd need to see the complete syslog that covers the period before and after the restarts to begin to diagnose the problem. When you have that you could upload it to pastebin.com and provide a link for us.

I have both Default message log level and log only at "Info". Is that enough info for you?

 
There's nothing particularly useful in the log other than confirming that the router didn't reboot because of a crash.

Change the log settings to Default message log level = notice and Log only messages more urgent than = debug.

P.S. I'd also suggest you try and track down what device on your network is trying to go to the malware site poshhateful.com

Thanks, guess I'll have to wait for it to happen again and post a new paste.
 
Take a look at this thread ....


Note - you don't see any messages relating to the crash in the router's syslog file, you only see them if you're running a remote syslog server.
