  @Clive_A I probably should not have upgraded to this version - it recently became available in the One-Time upgrade Firmware panel and so I did, and after months of running fine, I just had to power cycle my ER707-M2 as the network was having performance issues, including simple ping times spiking 100x randomly (ping to 8.8.8.8 would be 10ms then 1000ms back and forth) - and my bandwidth monitoring app tanked around the same time... after power cycling things are back to normal, but that's not great.

EDIT: I can't find any other stats or logs that would lead to the sudden CPU spike to 100% ~9:15am, and sticking at 100%ish until I pulled the power plug...

That CPU spike seems to have caused the shutdown.

When did you upgrade the firmware? How many times has it happened since you upgraded? How many times per day?

 

Except for the VLAN settings and Internet settings, anything else configured on the router?

  @Clive_A I upgraded the firmware on Feb 15th. It has only ever frozen like this this one time.

I do not have IDS/IPS, but I do have DPI and Logging Traffic enabled.

After that happened, anything unusual in the log?

During that period of time, any high bandwidth task?

  @Clive_A I couldn't find anything interesting or related in the log and the network was pretty quiet - nothing high-bandwidth or out of the ordinary.

I am unsure what might caused this.

If this happens again, you can contact me on this matter again. And prepare a backup of your config. I'll see what I can do with them.

So far, it is hard to tell the reason.

  @Clive_A It just happened again. This time it was ~1.5hrs after a large transfer - nothing in logs or events, no cause I could find. I noticed everything was loading slowly, the alerts I set up after the last time were going off, and ping times were very high. Nothing looked off in my controller, until I noticed that the router stats were actually just empty for a few minutes. After ~20min it resolved by itself.

 

Here you can see the stats finally came back and the CPU had been up at 100% again:

 

Here's a snippet of pings at the tail end as it resolved itself:

  @Clive_A Hi, can you please ask when the fully adapted firmware (beta, pre-release) for ER707-M2 for Omada SDN 5.15.20.31 will be posted? I urgently need it to test virtual-WAN and IPTV.

My Setup:ER-7602 V2.20, OC200, 4x EAP245, 1x EAP225, 1x EAP225-Outdoor, 2x TL-SG2218 and 3x ES205G.

  @Clive_A Question.  If the ER707-M2 is not capable of doing full DPI/IPS etc .......  on my Gigabit Internet it drops from 960-980mbit/sec to like 200-400mbits/sec.......  

 

What product is similar that can maintain over a gigabit with those features on and still have the 2.5g ports etc.  Maybe even a few POE?  Have Omada Controller Built In?
