On 4 Feb 2019 I arranged to renew my broadband/phone contract. Although I have had at least three years of totally trouble free service from my existing router (TP-Link TD 9980) I wanted to use a router with 802.11 ac capabilities. The PN service agent kindly arranged to ship a Plusnet Hub One to me. This was successfully installed on 7 Feb with me just having to manually enter my user name and password.
The firmware was auto-updated on 9th February. Broadband and WIFI (on both 2.4G and 5G) performance has been fine. The main problem has been a number of unexplained router reboots due to watchdog resets (cause 0x3). I could go back to my old router but I find the 5G wireless performance of the Hub One represents a significant improvement that I would like to keep.

Google searches have not yielded any meaningful information other that to suggest that the watchdog resets are linked to firmware issues on both on the PlusNet router( and its BT Home Hub equivalent) . In particular I am unable to find any information on reset cause 0x3. More drastic solutions propose using an alternative make of router.
I would be grateful if @bobpullen or anyone could assist is resolving this issue.
TIA
Chris
Fixed! Go to the fix.

Hi @chrisjbzero,
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue with the connection. Having looked at your account today, I can't see anything that would explain these drops and at this stage it's hard to say if they're anomalous or indicative of another issue.
If this does occur again, it may be worth temporarily setting the other router up to see if this resolves the issue or not.

The Hub One has experienced two more resets since the OP. I wonder if anyone knows what triggers resets with cause value 0x3?

Possible causes:-
0x0: normal watchdog reset
0x1: watchdog reset caused by wireless PCI failure
0x2: watchdog reset caused by kernel not responding to interrupts
0x3: Returned if both bits 0x1 and 0x2 are set.
I'm not seeing any reference to the crash in the logs I've just extracted from your device, but that could be because they've since been rotated/cleared. When was the last time it happened?
Anyway, looks like it could be a hardware failure. I've arranged for a replacement device to be shipped. Should hopefully arrive with you tomorrow. Please let me know how you get on with it.

Thanks @bobpullen for the explanation of the reset codes - Interesting. I'm not sure why you cannot see the log data. Anyway I reproduce below the current data for the Boot log file which provides timing information. Examination of the All log shows that there is nothing at all being logged in the 2 hours or so prior to the latest reset.

Thanks Chris,
I can see reference in the system start logs, but the crash dumps are empty. What devices do you have connected to the router by the way? I don't suppose you have a NAS/storage appliance?

Hi @bobpullen, Ah, I understand the point your making now about not seeing crash dumps. Sorry for the confusion on my part.
Connection configuration is as follows:
Port 1 - not connected
Port 2 - Ethernet connected to Netgear Stora (NAS) but the NAS is only powered up when manual backups are taken. The NAS has been off since the Hub One has been installed.
Port 3 - Ethernet connected to Devolo Dlan 200 AVsmart+ -> Devolo Dlan 200 AVsmart+ -> XyXel NGB4604 router(acting as AP with DHCP server off). ZyXel has two Ethernet connections to Humax HDR110s freesat recorder and Panasonic TX 50 TV.
Port 4- Ethernet connected to Windows 7 based Desktop computer.
Examination of the Wire Lan log only shows ports 3 and 4 as being in use. Nevertheless given the above might there be a problem with connection of the unpowered NAS?
Regards
Chris

Thanks. We've seen the 0x3 errors coincide with large wi-fi transfers over 5GHz to a NAS device before, thus me asking. In circumstances it is known to cause voltage drops that lead to the crash you're describing. In those cases, it's a manufacturing tolerance issue and the hub has to be replaced. I'm kind of hoping the same applies here once you've had the chance to test with the replacement that's on its way to you.

Hi @bobpullen, The router has been running now without any problems for 8 days. I am happy that the problem has been fixed with the replacement. So, many thanks for all your help.
