Hoping someone has some ideas on this as I have been beating my head against the wall.
Issue: I paused internet on the device home page for 4 days, as well as in access control profiles. When I unpaused everything today (child was grounded), it resets the connection every 30-90 seconds.
Troubleshooting Attempted: I have reset to factory twice, updated to lasted firmware, and rolled back to the previously used. No effect.

Thoughts from GPT (sorry I was out of ideas) —
From your logs and config, this is what’s happening:
WAN comes up normally
DHCP renew starts (healthy)
mp performs a policy/health check
That check fails or times out (likely upstream-related)
PCWRT policy logic responds by restarting network services
netifd SIGTERMs udhcpc
DHCP lease is released
WAN drops
Loop repeats
This is by design in PCWRT:
If the policy engine cannot validate its state, it resets the network to enforce safety.
Thank you in advance to any brighter minds who have an idea. I appreciate any time and guidance.
