I have an AC68U running Merlin at my house. I have expressvpn service and have a couple vpn severs configured in Merlin for a handful of clients. Most don't run through the VPN though. I also have the router setup as an OpenVPN client for remote access.
Generally speaking everything runs fine, but i have some intermittent issues with internet access on a couple clients. And once in a while the routers WiFi just goes down for no apparent reason, the SSIDs aren't visible to any client. This is all typically fixed with a reboot, but I'm trying to figure out why it's happening. The loss of WiFi seems to be increasing in frequency, and with both myself and my wife working from home, this is a problem.
I've gone into the syslog numerous times, but the problem is that I really don't know what the hell I'm looking at. By no means am I any kind of expert on networking, far from it actually. There are always tons of entries related to expressvpn, and i don't know if this is normal or not. Last night our WiFi went out around 1am and stayed out until i rebooted this morning at 10am. The syslog says something about a usb device initializing or something. I have nothing connected to the usb ports on the router. I only have 2 clients hardwired directly and 7 clients hardwired via a Netgear unmanaged PoE switch (2 are dahua ipcams).
So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good resource for explaining these various entries in the syslog. Something a bit more direct to the point that just googling the entries, because it's kind of hard to determine if the search results are what i want when i know nothing about this stuff. Isn't there some kind of resource that tells you what each log reference means?
P.s.- what happened to SNB on Tapatalk? It doesn't show up there anymore, and trying to open my previous threads in Tapatalk produces an error. Did SNB dump Tapatalk?
