DHCP lease expires randomly, can't recover internet without rebooting.

JadesStars · 2026-07-14 00:31:39

Once every 12-24 hours my ethernet connection basically just quits. I am unable to restore it without rebooting the computer, I have tried restarting the network-manager to no avail, I turned to the wiki to make sure that I had my network configured properly which to my understanding it is. I looked through forums to find anything that sounded similar in symptoms to my issue, and could not find anything thus turning to (with some degree of shame) ai assisted searches to try different diagnostics, as well as try to see what options I have which is how I arrived at disabling network-manager entirely and instead using dhcpcd which took me from crashing once every 3-5 hours to 12-24 hours, but still same issue. These are the diagnostics I was able to get from my most recent issues, and the commands I ran, as well as all of the hardware I am using (ai assistance said my network card is notoriously unstable when using linux and the network card is going into a hard lock-down state causing the network issues) since I was not able to find a straightforward answer as to whether or not my hardware is fine for linux with or without some configuration, I am posting here to see what are the expert opinions, or if PEBKaC is the culprit.

This is my system info, and outputs of several (hopefully) helpful commands for diagnostics.

Other things to note, I have other devices that were actively using the internet with no issues (not even stutters) during the time that I was having issues, and I checked my router to make sure that I did not in fact have enough devices on my router for IP leasing to fail for that reason. I hope this is sufficient as this is my first post here. I did try to read and absorb as much as I could from the wiki, other forum posts, and ask a question armed with sufficient information that someone could help appropriately.
if it was not clear 192.168.1.1 is my default gateway so I was trying to see if there was any communication to my router at all.

have you tried to just cold reboot your router?
disconnect its power - wait 10 seconds - replug it
sounds more like the router somehow kicks your pc from the network and rather it to be the issue
maybe a factory reset of it could help (consult yiur isp support first how to do that)

I have, and that does fix it, for 12-24 hours. It then but I need the internet to be more stable. This is my streaming pc, so it needs to have a more stable connection where it doesn't crash in a way that requires me to reboot the computer in the middle of streaming, that is where my priorities are as far as fixing the issue. There are other computers on the network that do not have this issue, and not so many devices that I could run out of IP addresses. The router does not do this on any other device in the house.

sorry I misread the comment. I have tried powercycling, and resetting the router to no avail.

You get a lease for 24h but dump the leases after ~23h
You could in theory use https://man.archlinux.org/man/dhcpcd.8#l to ask for a shorter lease but

I arrived at disabling network-manager entirely and instead using dhcpcd which took me from crashing once every 3-5 hours to 12-24 hours

Please post a complete journal covering the NM situation.
The router fucking up the time calculation by ~1-2h because of maybe UTC miscalculations or whatever I can see, but that doesn't fit 3-5h so

ai assistance said my network card is notoriously unstable when using linux and the network card is going into a hard lock-down state causing the network issues

let's see whether the AI is right or just full of shit.

Also, sanity check

I am unable to restore it without rebooting the computer, I have tried restarting the network-manager to no avail

How many parallel windows installations are there?

*Do you think this would help with replicating the issue at hand for diagnostics?

**I am unsure what you mean by this "NM situation", if you mean Network manager, then do you want me to re-enable and start network manager, then give you a log output, or do you want to just see logs for network manager, or something else entirely? would it be journalctl looking for network-manager, or something else? or would it be more helpful to get you the outputs for something more specific just after the time of crashing? (I will have to wait on that, as I do not know how to replicate the issue)

***I only have two windows machines in the house at all, and the rest are running some flavor of linux, one is on debian, 3 computers are on arch, one is steamOS and if you meant dual booting, or virtual machines, I have no such things on my devices. Otherwise im not sure what you mean by parallel windows installations.

if you meant dual booting

This (it would confuse the heck out of the dhcp server because you're asking for new leases while already having one of this MAC)

do you want me to re-enable and start network manager, then give you a log output

You can access older journals

sudo journalctl -b -δ

δ defaults to 0, 1 would be the previous boot, 5 five boots ago

sudo journalctl -b -5 | curl -s -H "Accept: application/json, */*" --upload-file - 'https://paste.c-net.org/'

would upload that journal to c-net
Don't filter is for random stuff - we don't yet know on which layer this fails

Do you think this would help with replicating the issue at hand for diagnostics?

No, I think lowering the lease time would avert the problem.
You're getting a 24h lease but lose it after say 20h
Asking for a 16h lease might just undercut whatever problems the dhcp server has there.

JadesStars · 2026-07-15 21:54:46

I keep getting an unrecognized option,

journalctl: unrecognized option '-'

(insert diamond question mark)
am I missing a font pack, or what?
(im aware you were probably wanting me to simply run the command that has the paste-bin syntax, the output for that is below)

I can give that a try as far as the dhcp lease time goes, and see if that fixes anything, granted it happens roughly once a day, so waiting for it to crash could be a while, or it could be 5 minutes from now, and waiting for a lack of a crash in that time-span is also tough because it will just feel like I have gotten lucky with no crashes in a while, as opposed to knowing that the issue is fixed.

δ is a variable standing in for a natural number…
The boot you posted is from July 10, only ~3 minutes and uses dhcpcd

im smort. I will have to toy with it because its been roughly a month since I had network manager doing anything on the computer, I will get you that output momentarily.

That boot only ran for ~17 minutes - you got a lease at 04:07:27 when it starts and only "lose" it at 04:24:46 when shutting down.
An interesting boot will have to have lasted for at least until you faced an unexepected connection loss.

part of my issue right this second is that I have been running with dhcpcd for a while now without network manager, because it is more stable (longer time without incident but not a complete fix) so it is taking me some time to dig for it.
Im hoping that this is more in line with what you are looking for.

When I reviewed it myself I saw that the network manager had a bunch of messages saying that it was disabled, but I was using applications that required the internet, and presumably didnt have issues, then saw some of those applications start logging things that indicated the network was down, and network manager behaved similarly, looks like i tried resetting it a couple times etc. Hope this is what you are looking for.

uhm ... what?
also: this log contains zram setuo several times - does it go into suspend/hibernate?
there also still looks some conflicting network management

There were multiple efforts to create an ext2 zramfs, but details of ancient logs are frankly hardly interesting - might have been a silly idea at the time.
The OP changed from NM to dhcpcd in an effort to deal with this, but as long as there's one daemon per journal, we're good
