I've been reporting my Asus RT-AC87u router has been dropping WiFi and at nearly the same time my LAN goes down.

 

Finally got to check the log on the router and found this :

Feb 8 17:23:14 dnsmasq-dhcp[441]: not giving name localhost.RuddogsDomain to the DHCP lease of 192.168.1.133 because the name exists in /etc/hosts with address 127.0.0.1

 

checked the /etc/hosts file and all I could find was the following:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

192.168.1.1 router.asus.com

192.168.1.1 www.asusnetwork.net

192.168.1.1 www.asusrouter.com

192.168.1.1 RT-AC87U-EBE8.RuddogsDomain RT-AC87U-EBE8

 

Any thoughts?

 

BTW scan of the LAN found no computer at 192.168.1.133
