Windows 10 issue, restarting Windows 10 can cause a Tecinicolor DWA1230 router to (probably) crash and reboot

RJARRRPCGP · Apr 14, 2021

Randomly, after rebooting Windows 10, the router suddenly reboots by itself!

Try disabling the adaptor and re-enabling it, or disconnecting and reconnecting the cable and see if it triggers it

you likely just have a dying router, and this is making it work harder for a brief moment

I never had that happen during a heavy load, it looks like a firmware bug relating to Windows renegotiating. I never had downloads die, either.

When the issue occurs, it looks exactly like I held down that tiny button on the back for at least 5 seconds! (the reset button)

devices reconnecting and asking for a new IP loads it in a certain way - that could be the way that makes it crash

firmware update it, or replace it

That's what I suspect and didn't recall such thing until recent builds of Windows 10, LOL. And I just got this router in 2018, FFS!

its got nothing to do with windows 10, its just the time your router has decided to have issues

It at least somewhat looks like the firmware exception'ing because of the way Windows 10 negotiates.

I agree with Mussels. This is not an OS issue. I also agree this appears to be your router. However, before buying a new router, note that Ethernet cables are flimsy, cheap, easily damaged but extremely critical network devices. Try a different cable.

Also, Ethernet ports can go bad - perhaps from yanking or tripping over the cable. Try a a different port on your router.

Do other computer's on your network cause this problem? If not, then your computer's Ethernet adaptor could be failing or damaged. You can add a 1Gbps PCIe network adapter for less than $10. Or go USB to Ethernet.

Nope, the ethernet cable from the router to the PC, is good! No signs of a bad onboard ethernet controller.

That's good, but too bad as that then points back to the router - a more expensive solution.
