Weekly reboot for AC1900 (model C7100V) with Xfinity
I have an AC1900 (model C7100V) that I use with Comcast Xfinity up at a rental property. On occassion the router goes down (sometimes triggered by power surges) and does not come back up (without re...
Thanks for response. I did consider a UPS but the issue is often the Nighthawk getting not being able to reestablish DOCSIS/Internet connection with Comcast after an outage and gets in state where it needs to be rebooted -- often multiple times before they sync back up. Think the CMTS often goes down as well with power surge. I did look at the ezOutlet (https://www.amazon.com/ezOutlet2-Internet-Enabled-Android-Controllable/dp/B0792S1DGZ/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=power+reboot+internet+connection&qid=1585491753&sr=8-4) as an option but they seem a little flaky and always like to avoid adding additional devices (points of failure). Was hoping the modem/gateway itself could reboot after an extended period (ideally configurable) of lost Internet connection.
Again, that'd be something to recommend on the ideas exchange.
something you could do would be a ups with a smart plug that you could schedule daily/weekly reboots.
I'd still recommend the ups if your power is dying that much. The C7100V isn't a cheap device to replace if your power is dying that much. It only takes 1 good surge to wreck electronics.
