Re: Router Keeps Rebooting
My hotspot reboots every 30 seconds when I use it at home, in town.
But at a vacation home in a more remote area, it works fine, all the time.
Is there anythng about a crowded cell tower, or the presence of several other wifi signals, that could cause the inexplicable rebooting?
I'm using: AT&T Hotspot Netgear Aircard 781S

Your device is a Mobile Router/Hotspot/Modem. A very different animal.
You might get better replies, and find other answers, over in the appropriate section:I used to have this problem with my MR1100 where certain towers would trigger a reboot -- especially under heay load. But haven't had this issue in a while (two firmwares ago).
I suggest trying a hard reset. Check for a firmware update through the web admin page. And if there is one, after it is fully applied, do another hard reset.
Disable dual band Wifi -- choose only 5.8Ghz if possible, 40Mhz, Long. If not, then 2.4Ghz, 20Mhz, Long. And keep the unit plugged in with a quality QC2/3 charger (Anker) whenever possible.
