Schedule Reboot for my Router
I've these two routers in my home wifi setup, one is configured as the main router and another as the Wi-Fi access point, I've noticed that once in a week or so, my devices will say not connected to ...
Routers should not need any form of daily or weekly reboots. They are designed to work 24/7 and all the time. If reboots are needed, means there is a problem that needs to be vetted out and resolved.
What channels are you using between these two routers?
Same SSID name on both or different?
Distanced between them in feet?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Thanks for your response.
I'm based in India and using this for ACT fibre,
My main router is R6220: Both 2G and 5G Channel are set to Auto
Primary router IP: 192.168.1.1
Under LAN settings reserved 192.168.1.2 for R7000P and configured as an access point.
IGMP Proxying is disabled
IPSec Passthrough is enabled
PPTP Passthrough is enabled
L2TP Passthrough is enabled
The channel for the secondary router is 44, it doesn't have an auto option
The distance between these two is approximately 20 feet, with a 9-inch concrete wall with a 3-inch wooden panel, The Lan cable is connected to LAN port 1 on the primary router and the other end is connected into the WAN port of the access point router.
I live in a gated community where the service provider go a switch (make/model not available) at the basement and a direct line to my primary router WAN port.
