I think the data center is overloading my router

Why is the DC hammering my network?

Million dollar question. Open a ticket so they can track it. I have the same issue randomly too.

I don’t know… maybe it’s trying to upload the bitcoin it’s been mining.

(This is a joke. :wink: )

My ticket number is #125453. I encourage others to report theirs here so they can more easily correlate and track the issue. While it’s not causing me problems (that I am aware of) with my equipment, I know it was/is for others.

A reboot will fix it. I’ve been tracking this since May. There a couple threads with some good theories on what’s happening. Yarbo claims to have identified a bug. But there has been no fix to date.

Not sure what your picture displays.
I checked the datacenter ethertnet port on my router and it looks like this. Spikes are when the yarbo is mowing an area.
Does not seem like excessive usage ir something

(the no-traffic area is when the main ISP router died)

For sure but is it causing YARBO do things it shouldn’t, interfering with the unit with needless computations, contstant GPS signal swapping, etc.
I’m just making up terms by the way. Haha

To keep everyone updated — as we discussed in your support ticket, if the HaLow signal becomes slightly weak or distorted, the Data Center will automatically switch to the backend server tunnel to maintain stable communication. When this happens, it continuously pings your router to keep the tunnel active and ensure the positioning data is transmitted correctly without interruption. What you’re seeing is simply part of that process.

Does it generate a new MAC address for every ping?

More likely for each established .

Probably not closing the bad tunnel.

Just my theory.

In my case, when the DC goes rouge, Yarbo flips to 4G until I restart the DC. I didn’t see any other Yarbo issues. It causes havoc on my internal network though.

Same here.

Absolutely nothing would surprise me at this point in life. :slight_smile:

Would love a response to your question. “simply part part of the process” isn’t holding water.

My guess is that they don’t know yet and I see it so sporadically that by the time I report it and they actually can look into it, it’s stopped happening again. Really hard to troubleshoot that way (and weird issues like this to begin with). I hope that the more of us that can report it can help them narrow down the commonalities and zero in on the root cause.

Appreciate what you’re saying. but it’s pretty basic for me. Plug in the the DC and wait 2 to 4 weeks for it to fail. I opened I ticket, they closed with an offer to replace the DC. I declined. New hardware will not solve a software issue. They know it’s crashing.
