Enable Email Logging and Router Reboots
NOTICE:
For ANY users seeing mysterious reboots of there 7 or 8 series RBR routers rebooting at random or at specific time frames, we'd like to ask you to enable Email Logging of the RBR and config...
Ok, enabling email logs seems to help stop the RBR mysterious rebooting. Mines been online for 4+ days:
Uptime would have been more however we had a brown out last Wednesday.
Be sure to make a new back up since you FR and set up from scratch.
Yes NG knows of this issue with the RBR reboot, logging and email logging.
You have a lot of device so I guess you need to email log hourly. You can try disabling email logging and see if the system continues to work ok. I found that after I had email logging enabled and the system worked for 3 days, I just unchecked the disable box for email logging and the system continued to work with out any reboots. Only when I FR and setup again did the reboots return.
Ya, no idea when that fix will come in.
Considering the work to redo the set-up from scratch, I have obviously done a parameters backup.
The time spent on this is worth to me more than the hardware, so I am not touching anything until the next firmware !
Hope that Netgear learns from this and put more ressources into firmware development.
At that price point, we are expecting stuff that just work.
Ya we get that.
Just letting you now about the back up and email.
Here's hoping though.
