> I've not tried the port mirroring before, but I assume what you're suggesting is to hang the HH5A on one port, that's seeing traffic from the rest of the LAN, mirror all packets Tx and Tx to another port, and record them e.g. using WireShark on my iMac?

Yes that is how port mirroring works. Basically you tell the switch to send a copy of all packages received on/send to a port (or multiple ports) to the mirror port.

> There's a pile of things connected to it in addition to the HH5A and the iMac, I haven't tried isolating the HH to see if it's down to a different device in the LAN, but I assume it will be.

Please try to isolate the device which makes the HomeHub to panic. Otherwise there might be to much noise in your package capture.

> I don't think it'll be easy to get a timestamp for the panic in the packet stream, unless there's a deterministic sequence transmitted as the HH restarts?

My idea is to fire all packages found in your capture to the HomeHub, to track down the issue to a specific kind of traffic and to reliable reproduce the issue.
