We just went offline again. Unplugging Protectli box only again, waited 30 seconds, plugged back in, we are back online again.

Quote from: meyergru on October 22, 2025, 09:24:45 PMIf your system is unstable with newer OpnSense revisions, then maybe look at this, #23. There have been reports about instabilities with non-N Intel CPUs from the same generation.

My hardware was bought new from Protectli, a Protectli Vault VP4630 - 6 Port Intel® i3 × 1 in February 2024. It doesn't say anything in the specs about "N" or "non-N" - how would I find out? ETA: I found a further detail on my invoice: Intel® i3-10110U Dual Core / 4 Thread at 2.1 GHz (Turbo up to 4 GHz) - is that useful?

2. Consider the possibility that 25.7.x updates are not your apparent issue with stability.

I already wrote I ran the Health audit again after the update and it was fine. I only posted the full unclipped audit upgrade log because what you claimed was false. And I attached the full log in a text file to avoid the clutter you mention. I wish people wouldn't skim posts when they're trying to help, it makes me waste time on defense instead of learning what I can do.

My connection is very unstable right now. Three times now I have had to reset equipment to get back online since this mornings updates. It no longer seems coincidental, since I have had no issues since early summer when I had to disable Unbound after updating to 25.7.

I have so far concluded it is something connected to the updates but will investigate anything I can.

1. I had my house cabling checked a couple of years ago (before I had OPNsense) because I had an unstable connection. My cable modem would go on and offline repeatedly. Repairs were made and that solved it.

2. My modem is not going offline, at least not according to the "blinky lights". I checked my ISP's website and they have not reported any connection troubles in my area. I have run the ISP troubleshooter online and it reports no connection issues have been logged with my account. I do take all that with a grain of salt.

3. I am able to power cycle the Protectli box (only) to get a connection again. When the issue is external to my house (wiring, ISP), the modem always has to be power cycled to get a connection.

What else can I investigate, to determine it is NOT OPNsense update this morning causing the instability?

i3-10110U is Comet Lake (10th) series, whereas N100 is Alder Lake (12th) series. so that should not be a problem.
