Orbi Reboot Regime

Hi all,

 

Quick question, does anyone do a regular/scheduled reboot of their Orbi?

 

I'm just curious if it's useful to do so to keep it working at it's best. I've noticed that our Ring Doorbell for example, is taking longer to trigger the indoor chime and thought perhaps a periodic reboot would be wise. It's many weeks since it was last restarted.

 

I used to need to do very regular reboots when the earlier firmware wasn't as seemingly reliable as it is now.

 

Thanks

    I never reboot my Orbi.  Has been on-line for over 150 days at a time.  There was a power outage that lasted so long that my UPS drained and the Orbi shut down (along with everything else), so the Orbi rebooted when power was restored.
