Probably a non-standard issue here, but I can't figure out what's going on with my networking. Hope someone on this thread has seen some similar behavior...

I have a newly built rig with 13x NV cards on an Asrock H110 Pro BTC+. Everything works for hours until it suddenly dies (crash or hang). Screen turns dark with no disk (flash stick) actyity. When this happens, the NIC on the motherboard (Intel) somehow manages to DDOS my main WiFi router (Asus RT-AC66U) and renders it completely unresponsive until I unplug the cable from this rig. Then it momentarily recovers and everyone's happy. I have four other fast rigs on the same subnet but they are all built on Asus Z270 motherboards and running Win10.

If I plug the patch cord back into this rig while it's still hung, it kills the router again within several seconds or minutes. Tried to put various network switches between the rig and main wifi router and even tried to choke it down with a 100Mb switch. Nothing helps.

Perhaps I should not blame SMOS because this same behavior was originally observed when I was testing nvOC OS on the same motherboard. It was somewhat less reliable and I decided to try SMOS, which I like better overall.

My desperate googling didn't yield much other than one hit on Reddit where someone is reporting same issue with SMOS: https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/6ag7un/simplemining_os_smos_affecting_internetwifi/

Any help will be greatly appreciated but please bear in mind that I don't have much experience with *nix systems :/
