iv carried out my first install of openwrt on a BT home hub 5 type A, everything is working so well i cant believe this is the first time iv use it...

So im getting a little problem and im unsure how to solve it so im hoping for a little input from someone please, the router keeps what im thinking rebooting as all connection is lost, this includes wifi and Ethernet.

Im running.

Firmware - OpenWrt 18.06.5 r7897-9d401013fc / LuCI openwrt-18.06 branch (git-19.309.48729-bc17ef6)

Kernel Version - 4.9.198

might help

On additional packages, the default / standard selection is sufficient for many people. Especially if you've got your services running on other devices (a smart choice, I think!), there isn't really anything to "recommend". I personally add some "standard Unix utilities" that I use for network and device debugging, but they're hardly "normal" for non-developers.

Sky's adsl connections use PPPoA, and sky adsl users can use the O2 username and password.

I don't have my old config for sky adsl, but these are some of the settings:-

    option proto 'pppoa'
    option vpi '0'
    option vci '38'
    option encaps 'vc'
    option username 'install@o2broadband.co.uk'
    option password 'password'

I expect it is covered in Bill's very comprehensive guide, the settings should be the same as most UK ADSL isps:- https://www.dropbox.com/sh/c8cqmpc6cacs5n8/AAA2f8htk1uMitBckDW8Jq88a?dl=0

No idea what would cause the router to reboot though.
