HDHomeRun EXTEND log behavior

[FordGT90Concept 61]

Public Service Announcement

 

Since I've lost two EXTENDs already to "reset reason = application watchdog" I've been paying closer attention to what my EXTENDs do. Here is what they sit at now (number is the last segment of the IP address):

 

100, new as of a month or so ago.

101, about 19 months old and the most used of the three.

102 is perfectly fine so not much to talk about there. 100 and 101 both have the application watchdog message; however, note the time it occurred. It's almost like they deliberately rebooted themselves at 6am. The question is why? Did the log get so full it had to purge it? I don't think this behavior is in error because nothing was recording at the time. Still strange and something to be aware of. Edited April 23, 2018 by FordGT90Concept
