FVS316G Frequent Rebooting
Greetings, After close to three years of mostly trouble-free use, our FVS318G has started rebooting several times a day, obviously causing frequent network drop-outs. Once this started happenin...
Hi Herbie555,
So, this could be a hardware issue, I don't see anything in the logs that would tell me this but the log data could be filling the memory causing the reboot. I would look to factory default the router and reconfigure manually. If the reboot still happens reflash the firmware again and see if the rebooting stops. Also, disable any logging period until you have completed the reset and firmware flash.
If you have already done all of this you will need to contact support and seek in-warranty hardware check.

So it looks like a full-reflash and reset to factory defaults did the trick. I'm now looking at Up-time of 4 days, 12-hours, whereas I was rebooting every couple of hours previously.
Thanks much.
