Hello!
I had to factory reset my router two days ago because my wifi totally stopped and the router started constantly restarting itself. I was able to connect through cable and I was getting exceptions on many of Foris’ pages.
I thought the reason was because I deleted a package I thought was accidentally installed (kmod-regmap), but I don’t see that package on my router now (after reset) so it seems like it’s not essential. I start to wonder whether an update to v3.8 was the reason for this behaviour in my router.
Anyway, I did a factory reset, but the process didn’t go that well. First the clock never gets synchronized with the NTP server. But the problem comes when the Foris wizard updates the router.
After the update all connectivity to the router is lost and I get this message in the wizard:
Firmware update has failed due to a connection or installation error. You should check your cable connection before proceeding to the next step. But do not worry much about the update as the router will run the updater regularly.
After I restart the router the connectivity is back, but the DHCP is not working anymore. I have to enter static IPs to be able to finish the wizard.
If I skip the update everything works without any problems. But when the system gets updated after that the same problems happen – the DHCP stops working even though it’s activated in the settings.
