@swaggboi My router is just buggy and sometimes gets in a state when it can't re-establish the PPPoE connection until you reboot it.
This is a very nasty bug, happening to some OpenWRT users, but it's really hard to investigate as it only happens once in a few month and is probably related to a bug in firmware 🤷
@swaggboi It's EXTREMELY rare — it happens 1-2 times a year. The biggest problem it usually causes is having to reboot it when it's not the right moment as something big is being copied over the network and I have to wait for it to finish first, making it reboot automatically would only make it worse 😄
It would make sense to attempt rebooting automatically if the connection is gone for more than a few hours, but it was usually happening when I was at home and it was easier to do it manually.
@m0xee Dang. Can you at least set up a cron that reboots if/when the connection is lost?
