RB751U-2HnD crashing when using Skype

Sun Jan 15, 2012 7:01 am

I am using a RB751U-2HnD and have a problem where the router regularly restarts when using Skype from a machine on the LAN. I usually use Skype on a wireless connection from a Macbook. This is very frustrating but I must be doing something wrong as I cannot believe Mikrotik would fail at Skype! What happens is Skype call drops, no access to the web, then network comes back up (or I plug ethernet in) and when I login to Winbox the uptime corresponds to the recent crash.

I am running RouterOS 5.11 and believe I have enabled uPNP. Below shows the usual outputs, if any more would be helpful please let me know. It may be something to do with MTU or MSS (there are mangle rules to alter MSS than don't seem to print from command line?

I don't fully understand how to setup logging so the MT won't loose records when restarting.

Any advice very much appreciated.

RB751U-2HnD crashing when using Skype

Sun Jan 15, 2012 4:23 pm

I had the same issue when pushing any amount of data over the 751. What I had done is left the same power supply in place that came with the 750 which is 12V - 500mA and the board was not getting enough power. The 751 comes with a 12V -1A but I did not have one and used a 24V instead. I am not sure if it is recommended to use a 24V with the 751 but it has been working for me. Maybe someone else could elaborate on that.

cbrown - thanks for the idea.

I was using the 24v 0.8amp that was supplied. I will try with a 12v 1.25amp I have and see if that improves things. I bought from a reputable reseller so would hope they were supplying decent power supplies.

If anyone else has other ideas please add them.

you have only one device that is experiencing such problems?
What routerboard firmware you are using now?
Can you tell us the best way how to reproduce this reboot using the skype - what should be do (step by step)?

Re: RB751U-2HnD crashing when using Skype

Mon Jan 16, 2012 10:46 am

This is my one and only Mikrotik device - the first one I have ever used. I am trialling in at home in preparation for a deployment of 16+ and a 450G for work - but if I can't sort this than that deployment won't happen :-(

I am using RouterOS 5.11, but have upgrade from 5.9 and 5.10 - all experience the same problem.

The best way to reproduce it is to use Skype - voice or video call. I am usually calling from Australasia to Europe. I'm using a Macbook (Skype version 5.3), and travel with it - so sometime Skype would be open and logged in when I connect, and sometime Skype would startup when already connected. I note this as it may have something to do with uPNP access? It appears at random times but has been happening over a period of weeks, and ever since I had the device. It works with another Mac as well. I don't have a Windows box to test.

I am wondering if I can put any logging (that will save to USB or survive a reboot) or watch anything whilst on a call (e.g. NAT tables etc?). The CPU seems to rise, but not be pegged at 100%.

Any ideas?

What do you see in the 'system routerboard' section - what bios version? Have you tried to disable the uPNP, does it still crash?

Current firmware is 2.36, and upgrade firmware is 2.37 - the change log only indicates a couple of unrelated things. Do you recommend I upgrade?

Potentially useful - in System > Health, I get an empty box.

uPNP was disabled by default, and I had the problem. I enabled it after reading that Skype would need it otherwise it could/would fill the memory up due to a large number of connections.

I have not been using this device much, but can confirm the issue still happens with the different 12v 1.25a PSU, so I do not think PSU draw is the issue. It doesn't hang doing anything else - including extensive down/up loading, considerably more machines etc. But just Skype on a single machine forces a crash :-(

My next steps are to upgrade the firmware, try without uPNP, and then I will wipe the config and start from scratch, building up a basic setup and making sure I understand how everything works.

I am still very much open to advice and suggestions :-)

upgrade to RoutrerOS v5.12 and upgrade the bios to v2.38
Do you have some eoip or pptp tunnels?

Re: RB751U-2HnD crashing when using Skype

Mon Jan 23, 2012 12:15 am

I upgrade to latest firmware and routeros as above.
I've upgraded to a 12v 2A PSU incase it was this.
I have simplified my setup - a PPPoE WAN connection, DHCP server for ethernet and Wifi, SNMP for monitoring.
I still have random reboots. When it comes back up my log file says:
jan/02/1970 12:00:17 system,error,critical router was rebooted without proper shutdown (cause 1)
This is getting to the point where the device is unusable and I do not know what else I can try to sort. It I have tried two different WAN connections in two different locations, and have the same issues. Consumer (D-Link and Netgear) have no problems in either location.
Any other ideas?

RB751U-2HnD crashing when using Skype

Mon Jan 23, 2012 12:36 am

I wish I knew what to tell you. Have you tried a 24V 1a PSU? Since I put that on my 751 the reboot issue disappeared. But I am also no electrical engineer. :)

This is a diffrent issue, not related to this topic. Changing the PSU adapter is only a temporary fix, you need to repair the device, contact seller for RMA repair.

I also have router reboots while using Skype.

     serial-number: 2C4F0139F0A1

I've tried to investigate this issues, it looks like flash process consumes a lot of CPU (80-100%). Router almost do not respond on other requests (ssh login, web login and so on) so it is hard to watch this situation in live.

What kind of information could be useful for debugging this issue? It is very annoying =(

lostar, sorry to hear you are having the same problem. I am being told to change the power adaptor - but I have tried three and it has not fixed the issue. What PSU are you using? Do you use wireless devices, and if so what? I use macbooks, iPad, iPhone and Android devices. I'm wondering if there is a compatibility issue...

I'm using PSU 12V, 1A (bundled with RB751U).
In my network a lot of apple devices (MacBookAir, MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad) and some Android based devices. Last time Skype was running on MacBook Air - wireless connection was used.
Router establish l2tp connection with my ISP for internet access.

Interesting - I have a similar setup, and a Macbook Air has problems (along with the Macbook, and a couple of Android devices will be connected at the same time). The 'flash' process jumps up to high CPU usage when I use Skype - and this process is "cpu usage when writing to NAND" according to http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Tools/Profiler. I'm not sure why Skype would cause the device to write to NAND? Does anybody have more ideas apart from a PSU? I have had the same problem using the (same) device with another config and a different type of WAN connection....

I am willing to explore other options e.g. wifi config errors etc - but the problem manifests itself when using Skype - everything else is stable. Very frustrating!

Re: RB751U-2HnD crashing when using Skype

Tue Jan 31, 2012 9:27 pm

I just did some more testing:

- Running Winbox on Macbook connected to Wifi
- Skype video conversation on Macbook Air connected to Wifi
- Winbox profiler shows 'flash' process jumping to ~80% (CPU at 100%)
- Winbox disconnects
- Macbook and Android phone are not able to browse the web / Winbox will not connect / Webfig will not load
- In this instance Skype call did not drop, but all other connectivity did.
- When Skype call finished, other devices could browse the web again.

At start of Skype call, sectors written since reboot was 2,536. After 30 minutes of Skype call, this was 4,112. Does this sound correct?

I have narrowed this down to the wireless interface and posted my findings here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 3&p=302265
I have tried both 12v and 24v PSU so I don't believe that is the issue.

I have not read the entire conversation. Just in case this information helps...

I do know that the Apple.com site has stated at one point that they have known compatibility issue with "N" routers. I have accessed all RouterBoard units I have deployed and changed the wireless setting from B/G/N to B/G only. NO one has noticed the difference and not one call for Wireless cutting out.

Just an update. I dug my device out, updated to v5.17 and started using it. No reboots as of yet, but Skype or Dropbox use on one machine makes the network unusable elsewhere. Winbox or SSH won't connect to check usage. No new clients can connect via wifi.

I'm going to try dropping to B/G, but that is a bit of a waste of buying 'n' gear!

Still not impressed :(

RB751U-2HnD crashing when using uTorrent 3.2

I have 1PC and 1 server with uTorrent installed... by default they are working good, but when I try to upload something from PC to Server Mikrotik crushes...then the LAN connection on both machines is lost....upload process stops. After few seconds mikrotik reboots and connection is up again.
The profile shows only 98.5% IDLE... flash does not consume anything.
CPU load is about 2-5%.
Also using PPPoE Client for WAN connection.
The Log shows me - system,error,critical router was rebooted without proper shutdown.

When I close uTorrent and try to upload files again - router does not crush.
Please help!
UPD1: Strange, but router crushes even if uTorrent is just running, but not downloading nor seeding anything.
UPD2: I've tryed to disable UPnP, NAT-PMP and DHT options in uTorrent. The router still crushes, but the upload process does not stop and I do not loose the connection. I also tried to ping google at the same time and in the moment of "crush" I've lost 4 pakets and before and after that time increaes to 2000ms.
UPD3: Tried on factory default settings and RB751U-2HnD stills gives me an Error: router has been disconnected.
UPD4: Tried to simply upload and download via Mikrotik at the same time, while pinging Mikrotik. The download speed drops from 1mb/s to 30kb/s...and Mikrotik starts lagging.... but it does not restart.

Got a reply from mikrotik support:
Kernel crashes on the router. When it happens you need to power cycle it to get it
in working order. We will see what we can do to fix this problem.

same issue here

Sat Nov 10, 2012 4:26 pm

We have over 600 mikrotik devices Power is very stable 24v UPS on every site. We have the same issue on an OmniTik, RB411GL and a few RB433AH rebooting. When there is high bandwidth over 20mbps or so the router will might reboot. We had to downgrade from 5.21 as the routers became even more unstable with frequent lockups and sometimes rebooting every minute or so. Sometimes the devices will lockup and are not visible in ip neighbours, It is still possible to ping the Ethernet interface, wireless clients (RBsextant’s) stay associated but they cant ping the AP nor can you mac-telnet over the wireless. Winbox, mac-telnet wont work but SSH does after 10 or so attempts and we can reboot.

Hi,


One question: if you use the Traffic Generator/Simulator tool Mikrotik has to generate an intensive network usage, does the crashing/freezing sympton also occurs?

I've send my RB to RMA...so I changed it to RB751G. My problem was described as: "reboots on heavy traffic load after a while".
The reason for such behaviour is unknown.

HELP!

Support replay:
>> You have configured both User Manager and also Web proxy on this device. The
RB751U

HELP ME PLEASE :(
I don't know if you solve your problem, but this post has some configs to use on your routerboard.

i made some of this configs on my router and it's stable for many hours.

im jumping into same boat with all of you, cuz im having (only some firewall rules and nat rules) same crash problem, with my 751g 2hnd board.
everything is latest (firmware, bios). yesterday i had two crashes.

if i remember it correctly, it all started after 6.10 or 6.11 upgrade. then i think crash was gone in 6.12 or 6.13 but bow on 6.15 its back again.

shizny, it crashes only if you use Skype? No other application or traffic is able to crash the router?

Re: RB751U-2HnD crashing when using Skype

Same problem here on 6.15 and 3.16 routerboard version:
routerboard: yes
model: 2011UiAS-2HnD
serial-number: XXXXXXXXXXX
current-firmware: 3.16
upgrade-firmware: 3.16
Basically the router crashes when I use a torrent client with the following message:
system,error,critical router was rebooted without proper shutdown by watchdog timer
I switched off the watchdog timer and the router now did not reboot, but it died.

I have the torrent client on a separate VLAN and it has two FW rules, one for NFS access and one for access to the internet.

The only solution I can find is to limit the torrent to a max of 2 Mbit.

My router with this configs and the version 6.15 stops this crashes.

Re: RB751U-2HnD crashing when using Skype

Wed Jan 07, 2015 11:04 am

I am using a RB751U-2HnD and have a problem where the router regularly restarts when using Skype from a machine on the LAN. I usually use Skype on a wireless connection from a Macbook. This is very frustrating but I must be doing something wrong as I cannot believe Mikrotik would fail at Skype! What happens is Skype call drops, no access to the web, then network comes back up (or I plug ethernet in) and when I login to Winbox the uptime corresponds to the recent crash.

I am running RouterOS 5.11 and believe I have enabled uPNP. Below shows the usual outputs, if any more would be helpful please let me know. It may be something to do with MTU or MSS (there are mangle rules to alter MSS than don't seem to print from command line?

I don't fully understand how to setup logging so the MT won't loose records when restarting.

Any advice very much appreciated.
