      Network just went down again, kind of, and through no action of mine. This time, I was able to load internet webpages through my fail-over connection (so that was working). I could ping the router over the LAN. I really don't think the primary WAN was down, as once I power cycled it was online. I also confirmed that the power plug was on (so everything was getting power and should be online.)

      However, the router GUI was reporting a 504 error (white page with black text served by ngnix.) I was able SSH into the router, so I tried to restart PHP-FAM. This allowed me to load the GUI login, but after entering credentials the browser waited, waited, waited and then back to 504 error. Ended up power cycling.

      Per @VioletDragon suggestion, I just replaced the power supply. Earlier in the troubleshooting process, I think I already tried another new power supply (maybe 3rd's the charm) and I had already run memtest overnight, no errors reported.

        @Ximulate Just out of interest. Can you share System -> Advanced -> Network Interfaces.

        Are you routing Layer 2 or 3 ? Is Jumbo Frames been left at default 1500 ?

        Have you tested a fresh install ?

        Regards.

            MTU is blank on all interfaces, so I assume default / 1500
            In so far as I understand OSI, its all Layer 3. Its all firewall rules, no ethernet rules.
            No I haven't tried a fresh install. I guess I should do that.
