I have been running into this problem quite often the last few days. I am using a double GLINet Slate AXT1800 setup (one client and one server) and a Wireguard VPN. My internet intermittently cuts out and I see the above in the logs. It lasts for between a few seconds and several minutes before service is restored.
The disruption doesn’t appear to be regarding to my local internet connection as that always is working fine even when my VPN is down. Nor am I experiencing any power issues in my local site that might cause such an issue.
I understand it is difficult to debug issues like this from afar - but just wondering what, if any, steps I should take to try to understand what the problem is here? Thanks in advance for the help.
Edit #1: I have been using this setup for about two months without any issues, in the last few days is the first time I've had this issue. As far as I know, neither the config and properties of the networks have changed
Edit #2: I also captured the following more extended output from the logread output:
