Yes I use the same destination fro testing on my laptop and the router.
I think I've narrowed it down to a DNS issue, I just don't know exactly what. I can ping outwards from my laptop when using IPs but not names. But my laptop can reach my DNS.
When you confirm that the router can reach the Internet during this period of outage, how are you doing that?
it's a gl.inet brume2 running openwrt, I SSH into it and can ping outwards to anything and my speed test from the CLI tells me i have 900Mbit available
Internet access from all devices in my house simply stops working entirely for a few hours, sometimes there's weeks between this happening, sometimes only a few days. But when this happens, I can still reach internet from my router without issue.
Lightning infill is absolutely bonkers WRT material efficiency and print speed for large parts. It doesn't offer the same level of strength as something like adaptive cubic though, but it's faster and uses less material.
My old Pi4 with SSD averaged around 7W, so only 1W lower than my mini PC, but performance and usability of my mini PC is far greater (and it comes with 1tb NVME and 16GB ram). I generally advice against using most SBCs these days unless you specifically need the pin I/O for something.
There's 33kWh worth of energy in a gallon of gasoline, and they use 0.3gal/hour when idling, so cars are pumping out 11kWh of heat just sitting there....that's a surprisingly large amount of heat.
Do you think that tweeking the preconfigured networks would cause conflicts in the long run?
No, none at all. The gl.inet GUI interacts with the underlying system in the exact same way AFAIK, the most common things are just presented with a better/simplified GUI to provide a better UX for non-powerusers.
Gl.inet routers still have the regular full Luci interface if you find their own UI too restrictive. Under settings -> advanced it opens the regular openwrt Luci
Restart doesn't fix it unfortunately.
I am using my routers DNS, and it's reachable from my laptop.
