Irregular reboots with 24.10.5 on Engenius EAP600

Since the upgrade to OpenWrt 24.10.5 r29087-d9c5716d1d / LuCI openwrt-24.10 branch 25.340.26705~d88390b from 23.05 of my EAP600, that was otherwise flawless, the device disconnects around - rough guess - each 5 days and reboots.

It is not a major item, and yet annoying. I didn’t do anything w.r.t. configuration, or so. Just a system running along without further attending to it.

Any additional software installed? Like in eating away memory?

Not that I knew. At least, not during the last years.

Sometimes rx-gro-list causes problems
To disable it first run from ssh

ethtool -K eth0 rx-gro-list off
# ethtool -K eth0 rx-gro-list off
ethtool -K br-lan rx-gro-list off

If it survives more than 5 days add commands to /etc/rc.local before exit 0 line

Lets see if something is stuck migrating configs over time:

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button (red circle; this works best in the 'Markdown' composer view in the blue oval):

Remember to redact passwords, VPN keys, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:

ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall

Thanks.

Not very much progress, because

# ethtool
-ash: ethtool: not found

What to do next, please?

Use brain, install ethtool ?
