Hello,

 

I hope somebody can help me!

As I write in title:

My Zgemma H7S crashes (now ca. 3 times since November) and paralize the complete home-Network included WiFi.

After that I can't connect equipment in my complete network neither by wifi nor by cable.

The box is frozen, I can't use it. When I pull the mains plug and after starting proces of the H7S, in Network is everything o.k.

 

Software is OpenPLi 7.2, box ist 24h/day in standby

Network has static IP.

Router is Fritzbox 7490.

Synology NAS is mounted per NFS (erverything is o.k.)

No crashlog on the usb-stick

Installed Extensions are: autotimer, epgrefresh, epgsearch, backupsuite, serienrecorder, github plugin updater (for serienrecorder) and dreamexplorer.

The hardware has already been replaced once (after the second crash in january)

Time between crashes ~ 6-8 weeks.

 

Do somebody know, what I can do?

Thanks for support

What means paralyze the whole network??
The box is in standby the whole time? So you don’t turn it off? If yes, restart the box every 2-3 weeks.

Maybe fixed IP address in box instead of dns? While in the network another device get the same ip....’badly configured router?

Are you perhaps being hacked????

[alabama]

Paralyze means, that I have (while the box is crashed) no connections between all devices in my home-network.

I can't reach any box (HD2400, vusolo2, vuduo2, DS 218) an I have no connection to internet (from PC).

When I restart the H7S all connections are o.k. and internet access ist o.k. too.

 

@betacentauri

How can I restart the box every 2 weeks automatically?

 

@littlesat

I don't think it is the fix IP.

Since years, I have this IP xxx.xxx.xxx.5 in bedroom.

Three TVs, the Synology NAS and four Enigma boxe have a fix IP (from xxx.xxx.xxx.1 to xxx.xxx.xxx.10) all other devices are in dhcp from xxx.xxx.xxx.50 to xxx.xxx.xxx.150.

 

Thanks for help

Smells like another fritzbox issue...

I think too it's the router, because when it crashes there is no WLAN.

The three other boxer are in deep standby- that is no problem.

This seems to be a router problem. Try updating the firmware in your router, but it probably won't help.

FritzBox are bullshit. Buy high quality branded WIFI Router (for example: TP-Link, Asus, Mikrotik) at around 100-150 EUR and you will have no problem in your home LAN. Of course, some FritzBoxes are difficult to replace if they are designed for a special type of connection. However, if it is a common WiFi router, you can surely replace it with any other (better) one.

Or try swapping or lending another router temporarily from someone - just to test it for 2-3 months for example. If you verify that this is a router error, then buy a better router.

Thanks you for the many hints

I Think. it's a router problem.

Because it is a router from my provider I can't change it simply.

 

I will continue to follow Betacentauri's tip and restart the box regularly.

 

How can I do it the easiest way?
