My trusty Unifi AP has been restarting a couple of times a day, at random times.
Ubiquiti support has been rubbish. After a couple of (very basic) troubleshooting steps, they essentially said I should RMA the thing. Very difficult to do if it about 4 years old, and I don't have 'n PoP anymore.
I have SSH'd into the AP to look at the logs. I've attached a snippet from the time the restart happens.
Here we can see 2 things:
1. /usr/sbin/ntpclient exited with status 0. Restart scheduled.
2. /usr/sbin/dropbear exited with status 9. Restart scheduled.
Originally, there was an issue with the server running the Ubiquiti Controller having the wrong time. It seems with all the power cuts, the time difference between the server and the NTP servers were large enough that it didn't want to auto-sync anymore. I fixed that.
But the AP time was fine and it seems to correctly sync with the NTP servers set up in the Controller.
Dropbear seems to be an SSH server/client. Not sure what is happening there. Googling the status messages doesn't reveal anything useful.
I've tried older firmware versions as well.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
