How often to restart gateway for optimal performance

How often should I restart my gateway if at all for optimal performance?

  • I have mine on a timer that reboots 3 times per week at 3am.  I haven't had the need to "maunally" reboot it.  The main reason I do this, though, is if I'm away from the house for a while, this keeps the internet running smoothly without me being there.

  • Mine is configured to check for updates and reboot every morning at 3am, it's unavailable for about a minute and a half when that happens. That seems to keep it working okay.

  • @DThomas, I hardly every reboot my Arcadyan KVD21 gateway.  I do it occasionally when the gateway looses 5G or when it connects to a band that has a bit slower speeds.  The one update the gateway has had in the last 10 months came in automatically.

    How do you get your gateway to automatically do this? I can't find an option like this in the TMHI app.
