My KM6s seem to crash Surfshark after booting up from “suspend” mode. SS doesnt do that with my Max or Shield. Seems like my only option has been to reboot the KM6 each time. Any ideas, or is anyone having the same issue?
*After reconnected it works great just dont want to restart each time.
I went through and installed most updated version on all 4 of my main boxes through the TP App. I suppose it wouldnt hurt to reinstall on both KM6s and see what happens.
I believe that is what you would call it. In the box settings you can set the power button to “suspend”, “shutdown” or " restart". I like suspend because when the power button is hit again it will just come right up and we can continue to use it. When i hop into SS at that point i get a message that it crashed and do i want to send into SS diagnostic team or something to that effect.
The most strange thing when it happens, i reconnect VPN and my speeds go from like 80-90 MBPS to 10-15 MBPS. Once i restart box, works like a champ.
I just tried both after about an hour wait and of course they didnt do it haha. Unfortunately it is happening most on the KM6 in the bedroom my wife uses most. Welp, i’ll be in the doghouse again!
Doghouse = I shut my box down nightly & on the very rare occasion when I hit the on button in the am it may take some extra time to wake up…but I’m that way too, so I let it slide
Other than that, it’s pretty responsive…I do reboot it & my router probably more than I need to…but hey…I’m kind of a fuss budget with keeping the memories cleaned out.
I am going to try an expirement on them. Going to uninstall Safety Dot and Reinstall SS. I’ll keep an eye on this and let you know. Like I said, i use sleep/suspend mode on all my boxes and the Shield and Max haven’t done it once. I’ll keep you in the loop.
How do you all have your SS settings configurated in the SS app? Do you use Auto-connect? Could the “no borders” setting cause more harm than good? What about the “use small packets”?
Also, just FYI, one of my FireTV 4k sticks had me update the Surfshark app from 2.8.1.7 (in RAI) to 2.8.1.8. Wonder what goodies they fixed…hmmmm…
Also lol…i figured out if you scroll down to the version number in the bottom left in the SS app, click it 5 times, it prompts you to enter “mobile mode”. Doubt you would want to on TV, but does let you access setting like “invisible by LAN” and “Rotating IP”.
New one to me…but I tried it & cancelled it. Went to Troy’s RAI & got the latest version you mentioned…can’t see anything different yet…but then again, I’m about as observant as a rock. You notice anything?
So far I have updated it on a 4K and thats it. It had a note up in the top right of the SS app that said something like you are using an outdated version and updates by clicking it. Odd. Maybe it’s coming soon to everyone. RAI still has the .7.
Way…he was updated to latest version the other day too…& when you mentioned your firestick had an update I dashed over to the RAI & clicked on it & boom…there it was. I read a post by Troy the other day where he stated he tries to link to official sites when possible…or something to that effect.
Anyway…got some stuff I have to get after so…good chattin’ with ya…catch ya on the flip side
