RAX200

Just wanted to ask when looking for updates on the screen for updates and reboot, do you recommend rebooting once a month or only when it may not be operating normally??

Apart from firmware updates, when the router will reboot itself, the only time I reboot a router is when the mains power goes off and comes back on.

 

Other than that, leave it alone.

    I'm the same. Leave it 24/7 unless the power dies or I have an issue with something.
