Similar to Brume 2 is dead, cannot access uboot, I had no luck accessing uboot or the regular interface. Over the past 8 months, the device exhibited symptoms that I thought were irrelevant. I appreciate any help from the team or community members.
Symptoms
Note: I always use Brume 2 in Drop-in Gateway mode
After 2 days or so of uptime, the device is not identified as a client on my main router. Since it's running in gateway mode, all clients get redirected to brume 2, hence all devices on my network suddenly had no internet access. I frequently rebooted my main router and brume 2, and after many reboots, brume 2 is identitfied as a client and my devices got internet access. I checked the logs back then, it had nothing out of ordinary as far as I remember
After that incident, brume 2 repeated this on random occurences:
Suddenly local devices lose internet access
Need to restart brume 2 and main router
Wait for more than an hour to get network connectivity.
If I don't want to wait, I reset my device through the reset button, but in the last few times this happened the reset button did nothing
One day while I am away, I was checking brume 2 configuration from GoodCloud. Brume 2 lost internet connection again. This time neither reboots worked nor device resets. I tried uboot with no luck (as described in the linked post)
I recall when on 4.4.6 (before the critical nginx patch), It was always flashing blue, even in normal operation. I stayed a long time with 4.4.6 as I had a few problems with later firmwares (for example Failed to install nfs-kernel-server on 4.5.16 and Flint (GL-AX1800) is unresponsive on 4.5.16). On latest firmware, it's always "blue", even when the problem occurs
Yes I cannot get to uboot. Here are the steps I perform:
Remove any cable from brume 2
Plug in an ethernet cable to the LAN port and to my laptop
Plug in the power cable
While clicking on the reset button, plug in the power outlet
Brume 2 flashes five times in blue, then it gets constant. I then release my finger from the "reset" button and try to connect to uboot
Hi alzhao, I have given up on the brume 2. I am using a low-spec PC with Linux and AdGuard installed and connected to my main router. I've designated it as the internet gateway and at least I have basic protection (for now).
I am willing to open the device and see inside. Maybe something is broken. Will you be able to identify anything if I captured an image of the internal board ?
