Openmediavault drops my router network

  • So i have an old pc that i am currently running openmediavault 3.0.86. It is connected directly to my fios router. Now the only services i have running on is plex and smb. For some reason the openmediavault is bringing down my network/router. What happpens is i will be on wifi and all of a sudden the wifi signal disappears on my phone. When checking the openmediavault i will notice that the light is flickering. If i shutdown/unplug the cable the wifi signal will return.


    i researched online and it was suggested to use a different nic card. I have attempted this but also had the same issue. Not sure when this started because i did have it running on my network for a few months with no issues. It was a headless setup but i have connected a monitor and a keyboard to see what happens.
    But i am not sure what commands i can use on the Command line to find the cause of my issue. Please help.


    thank you

    Sounds like your network settings conflict with your router's network settings. Did you set a static ip?

    What does your /etc/network/interfaces look like?

  • i am noticing that my date/ time is wrong. And i am having a hard timer changing it. So After trying to change the date in BIOS the change isnt sticking. I am going to try and replace the CMOS battery and see if thats my issue.

  • yes that was the setting i had but it currently would not allow me to change it from that setting to manually. So i changed my BIOS battery and that solved my date time issue. Now lets see if my network remains stable.


    Cross your fingers and thanks for the help guys
