Asus RT-86u running Merlin
Every now and then - like every day or so the router just loses connectivity. I have been trying in vain to scour logs for a while with no idea why. A reboot seems to fix it.
This was then running fine with a daily reboot set to 5am. Except now it dropped out after 9 hours. Unfortunately this latest outage has occurred while I am at work so I can't remote in to see what's going on but I assume a reboot as usual would fix it.
Is there any way to install a script to detect a WAN outage? Say pinging a specified site every 10 minutes or so and then rebooting the router if an outage is detected.
I don't know why the router doesn't just reconnect and needs to be rebooted, quite frustrating but anyway.
