If it's ping-watching another router as I understand it, first step is to try removing that to see if it fixes it. Some Mikrotiks of RB450/RB493 models had bad capacitors (Su'scon brown/green) and the routers would start crashing/freezing up after a few years. I've taken them out of service, recapped them and used them for non-critical projects (amateur radio) etc. On Mon, Sep 18, 2017 at 10:07 AM, CBB - Jay Fuller <[email protected]> wrote: 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
