V2.3.2.40
Windows 10 64-bit Pro 1903
I finished typing a short reply to a post after logging into my (large) gaming clan's vBulletin forum, click to post it, and get a send-related error. Notice no Internet per Taskbar. Look at XR500 and it's rebooting. All seems well a minute later, but I've never noticed this happening before (had the router almost a year).
What is/are the possible reason(s)? Nothing in XR500 system log before reboot (normal behavior IIRC). Is it supposed to reboot itself periodically? Can a reboot be forced remotely without authorization? Will it reboot itself if my ISP resets the connection for any reason?
Thanks in advance for anyone able to take the time to respond.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: XR500 Seemingly Just Rebooted Itself
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
No the router can't be rebooted remotely usless you have enabled remote access and you can the access to it from a remote location.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What channels are you using? Auto? This may have trigger a reboot as maybe having too many wifi neighbors would cause the auto feature to try to find a more less noisy channel. Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.

Router is powered from 900W uninterruptible UPS. Total UPS load at the time was no more than 170W with about half of that via strip router is connected to.

P.S. I did not have remote management enabled on the XR500.

No, 6 ft. high on a hutch, but it's been hot as hell in the house because the ac can't keep up with the summer heat.

Re: XR500 Seemingly Just Rebooted Itself
It's pretty warm now, even with the house starting to cool off. Let's chalk it up to that. Will let you know if issue returns in cooler weather. Thanks for the prompt replies.
