[AUSTRALIA]Opnsense on N100 - Optus NBN

[Synice]

Hi All,

I've updated to 24.7 from 24.1 and I am connected to Opnsense via a cisco switch, today alone, I had to turn off the Opnsense and turn it back on to restore internet.

3:15PM AEDT
4:50PM AEDT

I've been submitting them crash reports non-stop...

not sure what is the issue.

What is your analysis of the crash reports? Can you summarise?

not sure what is the issue.

What basic troubleshooting steps have you taken already? E.g. rebuild from scratch, hardware testing, etc.

Please see attached,

I have to turn off the opnsense and turn it back on for internet to work again.

If I have to do that, I can schedule a daily reboot, but I want to know is it Optus or Me?

Thanks
Synice

These look unspecific. These N100 devices are known to be picky with memory, which is hard to diagnose. Many people had success with exchanging the DDR5 sticks by another brand.

Maybe a wild shot, but what DDR5 memory are you using?

If its a Hynix IC, most likely this is causing problem. Can tell you from my experience

I have exactly the same ram its a Micron IC, it replaced my Hynix one from Corsair which was causing problems. That ram should be running OK on the china N100 miniPC (of course if you have a good stick and not a faulty one).

Other than the RAM, can you more elaborate on the problem you have?
Are you able during the period of issues connect to OPN?
Are you able to ping something on the internet?
Are you able to ping LAN?
Is the device even communicating/online?

Well I raised a case with Optus, and they blame NBN, then ofc, now its seems to be online, since, but i do notice randomly unbound dns will stop and that drops my internet. I will continue to monitor this.

I used to run a ASUS RT3000 but its stopped working, I generally suspect ISP is playing this game cause we choose to BYO Modem and they dont like it maybe.

Thanks
