RT-AC87R reboot issue Merlin release

[lilstone87]

3.0.0.4.376.44_beta3

Well I just encountered the router randomly rebooting, I was actually playing a game online, and suddenly connection dropped. Saying lost connection to lan port. Looking at the log, it shows a bunch of stuff, and I don't know if it will give details why the reboot happen. Went ahead and uploaded log file minus dhcp stuff.

Also after the router rebooted, it seems to me router having troubling loading "Save history location" file.

it sounds like the drive spun itself down and the router freaked out. do you have manual spindown settings applied? i'd consider pulling the drive for a day and see if it happens again. i'd also consider using a small usb2 thumbdrive for the traffic logging and such

Well looking over the log messages myself, I see a good bit of QoS related logs with the HTB messages. I just recently(last day or so), enabled QoS. So I wonder if the QoS system is buggy, and caused the reboot. This is the first reboot I have had with the router, and have used it for over a week now.

I kind of want to see what Merlin's opinion is on this, but I know with the log I posted might not be enough to pin point an issue. As I have been using the same hard drive since I got the router, and used it with previous router's without issue. I did have to disable "Reducing USB 3.0 interference" to get this drive to work on this router. Though Merlin told me I had to, to get the drive to mount properly. As this is an issue with certain drives with this feature enabled.

Merlin has said that the iQoS engine has a bug in it. He has disabled it on his router for now. That is supposedly going to be addressed with a firmware update soon.
