Depends on what the watchdog is watching. i.e. its watching a IP address 
correct? Is that IP valid and going off-line?

Subject: [AFMUG] rb493ah locking up


I have an rb493ah randomly locking up - currently frequency is 2-3 times a 
week.  there is a watchdog timer on it that is catching it and rebooting it.  
any ideas?  time to replace it?
all the system log says is system rebooted because of ping watchdog timeout

I suppose it could also be a radio attached?

There is no power on an rb493ah so i don't think it would be a flaky radio 
(rebooting the mikrotik would not fix that)

I am guessing this router is 4-5 years old
