Yeah. I'm pretty sure that I've seen a toggle-able option in some home user routers for them to automatically reboot themselves once every um... day (or some other time period).
Like "we can't be bothered tracking down the memory leaks in shipped software, so lets just implement an auto-reboot of the router".
It's both funny and tragic at the same time.
- Gabrys1 3y agoI wish more hardware had this setting exposed. My wifi router had a bug that was eventually fixed, but before that I would need to reboot it every hour. That's a simple workaround - if only there was a setting for that. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35986375 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35986375
- justinclift 3y agoTP-Link Archer AX73's have it. Just logged into one to check. It won't allow every hour though. The options are either daily, weekly, or monthly, and you can set the exact time. It doesn't seem to allow for more than one reboot schedule either, so it wouldn't be possible to set (say) 24 different daily schedules 1 hour apart as a workaround.
