Nighthawk x10 two questions

Greetings,

have two questions about r9000:

1. How I can change time zone for router?

2. Looks like router restarting by himself sometimes. Log shows events after rebooting only. Is there any chance to understand why it rebooted?

firmware: 1.0.2.32

 

Thanks

    Ok, found answer for 1. Security->schedule. Actually, imho, wrong category for this setting.

     

    looking forward for answer about rebooting.

    Thanks

    Is QoS enabled? Disable to see if router stops rebooting.

       FURRYe38, should I disable Dymanic QoS only or WMM for both 2.4 and 5 bands as well?

        Just QoS. Keep WMM enabled. Can test WMM disabled later.

    The 5Ghz radios I presume is HW based and not FW based so this portion of the 5ghz band can't be modified.

      Thanks, FURRYe38,

       

      Could you please advice what is the best:

      1. Connect all 5GHz devices to 5GHz band (up to 8 devices). Can R9000 balance all these devices?

      2. Switch devices, that don't require 5GHz speed to 2.4GHz band to have balance between bands.

       

      Currently only I have 5GHz band and no other 5GHz networks are available. At the same time there are around 10 another 2.4GHz networks near me.

       

      Thanks!

        I read the same issue for Orbi, but looks like R9000 has the same issue too.

    The X10 should be able to handle 5Ghz devices on it's radio well. 

     

    Ya, HT160 should be disbled if you don't have any supporting devices that connects at that rate.

      Thanks, FURRYe38!

       

      Last question - I have [Internet connected] log entry each 5 minutes. 

      Connection status:  NETGEAR Router R9000

      Lease Obtained 0 Days, 0 Hours, 10 Minutes

       

      I don't expect any connection breaks, but for me it's not normal.

      Do you know if it can be router issue or it is only ISP provider issue?

        Your seeing log entries every 5 minutes? Maybe a router behavior logging thing...
