Gateway restarting on its own issue solution

If you have recently been experiencing your gateway consistently restarting on its own, I have figured the hard way after replacing the gateway 2x, SIM card & power cord replaced 1X, factory resets and full replacement provided by a local store that the 1 thing I had not tried was changing my Network passwords and that did the trick.  I know it is a pain, but worth it!

  • Sadly it rebooted 30 hours later and then again 8 hrs after that

    I have the Arcadyan gateway and it has been restarting on its own about every five or six hours.

    One thing not mentioned as a possible solution, is to keep the gateway cool.

    I have had this happen randomly. It will cycle every 5-10 mins on firmware 1.00.20 it usually stops after doing a full power drain. Physically unplug then wait a minute or 2.
