How to restart all satellites and router?
If I want to restart my RBR850 and 2-RBS8750s at the same time to recycle everything, what is the best way to do that? It looks like on the router web page orbilogin.com, Router/Advanced/Home Page just reboots the router, is that true?
Second, do you make it a practice to restart your router and satellites periodically? If so how frequently?
Thanks!

Yes you can just go through the browser page for a reboot.
Do I reboot on a schedule? No. But I change routers/firmware often enough that at least once a month they're getting rebooted for something.

Yes, that is correct. The router is "where everything happens", so restarting the satellites is not nearly as significant.

My router has been up continuously for 113 days. So, no. I only restart when there is a reason to.
