MN-710 freezes after two hours in the internet

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

Stupid me! I had the wrong device number, in fact I was
talking about the MN-700 (not MN-710), also I just
updated the firmware and I think MS fixed alot of stuff
for the DHCP server, so probably the problem is history
already...

Disabling the DHCP server used to be a major no no with earlier versions
of the firmware.

I almost forgot the current firmware version for the MN-700 is 2.1.2.590.

Hi Joker, thanks for the response, well, I have version
2.1.2.590 for boot- and for runtime firmware, also I got
2.2.0.731 for the application, but I still do have the
problem! At least it is much better: this time it took
about 10 hours and then the DHCP stopped working (same
behaviour, no login possible).

Strange is, that the boot log tells me that the version
is 02.00.08.0333, but the look of the management tool UI
definitely changed after the update. Maybe it is just
another version that is meant here.

Any idea what else could be wrong? Do you use it as a
DHCP server yourself?

Best regards, Alex

I use the MN-500 which doesn't have any problems if I disable the DHCP
server.

So is the issue that you can't even connect to the MN-700 after several
hours then?

Yes, exactly. And it just happened again, this time it
worked for 5 hours, then: same problem. No login
possible, no internet connection, no wireless.

I really would like to throw it out of the window, maybe
I disable the DHCP as well, then it will work I guess!

By the way, this time the version reported during boot
sequence was the new version, strange, it seems that it
did not log the boot sequence from this morning. I guess
there is more than one software bug on this device!

Hopefully Microsoft already works on a fix for that...

Thanks and best regards, Alex

I was having a similar problem, I had the DHCP server on,
and the connection would go away after a few hours or
overnight. Well, now I put static IP's on each comp. and
its working pretty good... so im guessing its the
router's DHCP server?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

Yes, same problem...I mean I wouldn't sell such a device
if I hadn't tested it at least overnight, right? Boah, I
hope they fix that soon...

While it wouldn't help you, I could tell you that I have had an MN-700 in my
house running for weeks without a problem as have many other people.

What might help is for you to push the Restore to factory defaults button
and then set up the MN-700 again. It is possible that some configuration
setting is not quite right and restoring to factory defaults should fix
that.

Based on the information in your Log File, it sounds like something unusual
happened during the update. The information printed in the log file when it
boots indicates what version is running and should match what is shown on
the home page of the management tool.

Please let me know if this fixes the problem or not.

Hi Neel,

actually I did this several times already. The version
number is fine now. But I still have the same problem.

What you describe sounds good, so there is still hope to
get working!

What could cause such a device to hang completely? I
mean, even if there is an error it should not stop
working completely in no case, wouldn't you agree?

Did you run it as a DHCP server in your house?

Best regards, Alex
