Consumer grade routers often have automatic updates these days.
- internetter 2y agoYeah I have a pretty nice router and inexplicably, random nights, it drops out at 3am for ~3 minutes and then comes back on (and has all the markings of a reboot in terms of the pattern of request failures). I have to assume Synology just decided that nothing's using the internet at 3am
- starttoaster 2y agoI had no idea that Synology did routers too, but I would assume this would be a configurable time somewhere in the settings. But yes, that sounds like automatic updates to me.

- stacktrust 2y agoOPNsense automatic updates are relatively conservative.
