July 30, 20232 yr A few minutes ago, at 4:08 or so local time, I was working on my laptop and the wifi suddenly dropped. I tested the router's connection using the router speed test, and it reported that everything going into the router seemed to be fine. I tried the wifi on my phone and that too had dropped. I restarted the router, which still didn't fix anything. I then unplugged the ethernet cable connecting my NAS running Unraid to my router, and the wifi instantly came back. It sounds weird, but this has happened to me numerous times already, always very sporadically, and I now strongly suspect Unraid is somehow messing something up (perhaps with DNS?) on my network. I've collected the diagnostics from right after I disconnected and reconnected my NAS's ethernet connection. It seems like this has been happening to a few other people too, as reported here, but that thread mostly seems to have died. jtower-diagnostics-20230730-1609.zip
