WRVS4400N v2 Weird Issue

[Dean Thompson]

So I am one of the many that has this intermittent issue with wireless users being dropped for a few minutes.. anyway I started logging the information from the router to a syslog server.

Here is some information that is interesting and I am unsure why the router is doing this.

Interesting thing is, it seems to do what ever it is doing on the 45th minute of almost every hour.....

Anyone have any idea? could this be a reason why my Wireless clients are booted?

What is attached on eth0 ?

eth0 is connected to a 24 port switch slm224g.  eth0 is the only port in use on the router, apart from the wan..

And I take it your SLM224 Switch IP is not the same IP as your lan correct? as it possibly looks that way from the log file

No, the router is on 192.168.0.35 and the switch is on 192.168.0.37 with an SG200-08 8 port Cisco Smart switch on 192.168.0.36.

I have never seen a router talk to itself before, I have seen people doing that and I know that don't make sense either... lol
