ax88u strange system log

[BloodFX2021]

Hi running ax88u with latest merlin firmware, skynet and diversion.

Keep seeing this all through my system log?

Do you have something plugged into that port? Have you tried a different cable?

 

[BloodFX2021]

Only lan 1 port and wan port are used and usb stick.

Will have to dig around see if I have a spare cable, is that the pc to router port dropping connection?

I have many of these log lines. It is in the port I use to connect an smart TV.
To be honest, apart from the flood in the log, I have not seen any effect. Maybe due to the buffer, the TV has not any noticeable image lost as the connection is lost only 1 second (or less) per the time recorded in the log.
Probably they are some more ASUS debugging logs, nothing to worry about.

You could also try moving the one lan device to another router port to see if the log entry changes as well. I would be concerned if there is actually nothing plugged into that port

I have similar entries, but here it's working as expected, it happens only when my Mac/Display goes to sleep mode and returns...

Apr 27 13:10:36 kernel: eth1 (Ext switch port: 0) (Logical Port: 8) (phyId: 8) Link DOWN.
Apr 27 13:10:38 kernel: eth1 (Ext switch port: 0) (Logical Port: 8) (phyId: 8) Link UP at 100 mbps full duplex

Which is exactly what the router is telling you - that the device on that port went offline, then back online.

Many WOL clients will drop to 100 Mbps while in sleep mode to save on power.

Tried a new cable same thing, and my pc never sleeps or my ethernet card its disabled.

Running an AX88U box as well. This issue listed above also caused me to chase my tail bigtime over multiple days. Someone in some thread said it was their apple TV box. After trying every other recommended change to multiple PC's to no avail, I did a GUI reboot of my Apple TV box. No AX88U syslog error messages since. Wow. Easyfix.
