3801HGV Rebooting

@zacharycook Everything looks great now, but can't really tell until 24 hours is up and some reboots occurred to see what kind of errors show up, if a Uverse line problem.

Otherwise could be a dirty power situation causing the reboots or power interfence on the line.

Could be these things from ScottMac:

Have you notice the occurrances in the context of other events in your home, possibly outside your home, and (really happens) something in a neighbor's house?

A neighbor with a new kilowatt linear for his Ham or CB radio?

Maybe a blinky streetlight?

Any electrically-operated workout gear in your home (or neighbor's)?

Aquariums?

Heating Pads?

Light Dimmers?

Touch-control lamps?

Dusk/Dawn sensors on the porch?

Any new CFL bulbs (OK to be green, as long as you don't watch TV or listen to AM radio ... j/k ...)

Or these from SomeJoe:

* Power line interference, such as:
* Fluorescent light ballasts
* High-intensity gas discharge lights like mercury vapor
* Grounding problems, such as improper ground at the NID, the pedestal, etc.
* Electrical system grounding problems, such as improper ground on the RG's outlet, the breaker panel, etc.
* HAM radio broadcasts in the HF band
* AM radio transmissions, such as a nearby radio station

Tripp-Lite Isobar Surge Protectors do wonders.  Some techs actually carry these on their trucks for these situations.

I can't expect 24 hours of stats because the thing wipes on reboot and reboots every 12 hours or so. It's on a power strip that has an indicator for bad ground/no ground which is not tripped. So power is clean.

Try plugging it directly into the wall plug.  Even if no trip shows, power strips can goof up things, expecially after 5 years of good service.

Have seen this work many times over my more than 6 1/2 years w/Uverse and here. 😉

I changed the power strip out and went to a different outlet just for grins.  It's worth noting that there's a 5 port switch and the uverse wireless access point on the same strip, and neither of those have any issues with rebooting themselves.  Seems pretty cut and dry that it's the gateway.  The unit just reboot itself again and the line looks better than my earlier posted stats with 0 corrected blocks since it's boot.

You would think if it was a flare up of line activity and interference then there would surely be some noise following the reboot to get logged?   I've setup a syslog server and pointed this to it so maybe I can actually get some information about what happens right before the unit reboots.  If it saved logs anywhere that'd be really nice.

I'm not sure what state you're in, but I'm having the same problem. Was fine for almost three years and then BAM, resets daily. I'm in SC.

If you poke around you will see the same complaint from many folks. Hopefully they will fix the issue or time to move on.

I too am having this issue. I've unplugged the battery backup, plugged straight into the wall, switch surgeprotectors and etc. This is my second replacement and it's really annoying, especially in a FaceTime call. I'm located in CA.

I managed to get a Syslog and this was the last log before it rebooted

Are any of your TV receivers connected by Coax?  Has anything changed about your coax lately?  I ask because of the "hpna: status overflow" error.  That looks pretty innocuous, but...

Also, looking at your device list on the home page of the router, what device has the IP address 192.168.1.71?

Hi JefferMC,

Any ideas with my issue? I only have plain-ole internet, no voice, no TV.

Worked great for 2 yrs and then in December things went south. Nothing's changed on my end.

Does your service come in on Coax?  (If you don't know, list what ports have something plugged in to them on the back of the RG).

I'm thinking that your problem sounds more like unclean power or over heating.
