Bit torrent client force RB751 reboot in a while

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi all,

I use a RB751U-2HnD as home hotspot (firmware version 5.22). The routerboard works fine until I use a bit torrent client on my Linux laptop. In this case the Mikrotik reboots every time after a couple of minutes. In the Mikrotik log I didn’t find anything of useful to understand the issue. The only messages I found are of this type:

jan/01/2002 02:00:02 system,error,critical router was rebooted without proper shutdown (cause 1)

I attached my router configuration.

Any suggestion? Where should I investigate?

Best regards,
Alberto

Try replacing PSU. It should at least be 12V/1A. If it doesn’t give enough power, router can reboot himself.

PSU replaced with 18V 1A but the issue is the same one. :frowning:

Mikrotik Support gave to me some suggestions:

  1. unistall unused RouterOS packages to free memory
  2. upgrade to RouterOS >= 6.0rc6:

What’s new in 6.0rc6 (2012-Dec-21 12:20):

*) fixed problem - netinstall for x86 did not work;
*) lcd - added take-screenshot command;
*) lcd - fixed calibration, fresh boards no longer require recalibration;
*) optimize memory usage - makes 32Mb routerboards more stable;
*) support BandRich modems with newer firmware;
*) ipsec - authentication using certificate store but without CRL checking for now;
*) added feature - flash can be partitioned on routerboards and
separate versions can be installed on each of them (requires latest firmware);
*) fixed problem - after restoring backup, it gets restored again on every reboot;
*) improved router performance when dhcp client/server present in system;
*) fixed vlan on bond after reboot;
*) fixed occasional queue kernel crash;

The problem hasn’t been completely resolved. I applied the suggestions and now the RB reboot happen once every 3 days.
I think I’ll never build an hotspot with 32MB RAM!!!

Best regards,
Alberto
