Scheduled Router Reboot

[SteveP2]

Hello all,

Is there any ability to schedule a weekly reboot of my Quantum router? There is a Scheduler Rules section. Can I use this to do what I want to do?

Thanks,

Steve

I highly doubt there can be a setting in the router to have it reboot weekly.

you could buy a electronic timer, plug in the router set that to turn off at a specific time and then set it to come back on say in 5-10 minutes. This may accomplish what you desire.

The router can be made to reboot if you have a Mac or Linux system handy by enabling SSH on the router. A cron job can be created to log into the router and invoke the reboot command at that point.

Otherwise, the simple solution is the programmable timer as proposed above.

I am glad you said that “you had me worried there for a minute”

persons coming here for assistance outside of a few techs would not know how to do your first suggestion 😀

Is too bad this functionality is not available. It is available in the access points I have.

Thinking about this a little more...I am going to see if I can take your idea and apply it to a Windows system. There is no reason why I cannot SSH to the router from my Windows PC, log in, and then execute the same reboot commands.

Do you happen to know the commands to do this?

Why are you looking for this feature?

Haven't had a lot of router, but none of the ones I have seen in the class of quantum don't have it.

I leave my router powered on with no reboot for weeks on end with no issues.
