Enrix Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Just as the title says... Do I need to restart it once in a while to improve network quality? What about my modem? If yes, in which order? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, in which order? Thanks! I usually reboot mine once a week, I do the same with my phone and things like that. I never reboot my modem.

iAmMoDBoX Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 It can't hurt to do it. I reboot my phone and PC daily to keep it snappy and smooth. At the end of the day all of these devices are computers and could benefit from a reboot once in a while. For a router I'd say once a week or so. Modem can go once a month.

mountainping Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 im on the other end of spectrum. sort of. i never reboot my phone, runs smooth as day 1. i don't reboot router or modem unless something starts messing up.. also have to remember these devices don't have infinite power cycles. they might not turn back on one day when trying to reboot. if you have some sort of phobia abt it, just reboot once a month if you absolutely feel the need. otherwise, just keep it running as long as it can. so to answer your original question. NO , you DO NOT have to restart once and a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 At work I work with phones, PC's, Laptop's, routers and many other devices, I say leave them on so I get more customers with issue's. Yeah a reboot is great for devices they are all mini computers nowadays and they bug out from time to time. On the flip side I get loads of work from people leaving them on or putting them into sleep mode so do not tell anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3CR0 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I never reboot my phone. I reboot my Duma and Draytek once every couple of weeks usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antithesis Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I see no need to reboot the R1. I've had it running for months, if not a year or more at a stretch with nary a problem to report. The only issues I've ever had were a dead wall-unit and ISP-related disconnections upstream. And this is on an 80+ device LAN for a family of 6, so the Duma gets hammered on a daily basis. The thing's a beast, just let it do its job. I think you Windows and Android users are too used to shutting stuff down to get it working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehd Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 No need to manually reboot here; we get power outages frequently enough to take care of that chore. (I have all electronics on UPS/surge protectors...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
