    My Draytek 2820? did that. i had a setting on the firmware from which you can set it to boot regularly. Rather than being locked out for days on end, it could be easier just to reboot automatically in the small hours every day

    Why are you rebooting a router daily ??


    Router rebooting itself could well be connection dropping > see Event LOG .
    Mine used to do just that due to line errors usually early hours of the moring .
    I leave my desktop on 24/7 but now and again and it used to be nightly it would reboot.
    I'd wake up in the morning and I'd have to input my password to use the computer.


    None of the settings should cause a nightly reboot.
    It's your money. Except if it's the governments.

    If yours did this how did you solve it?




    In the end it was the rollout of FTTP that cured it .
    BT OR thought it was a REIN problem .

    That sounds like it's trying to update the firmware and failing to me, give BT a call. They can run tests and check for you in moments rather than two dozen people on here all suggesting different fixes.

    Once or twice possibly but not every night

    If it can't update then yes, it would be every night until it completes the task.

    That said it seems you would rather keep your threads going than to actually contact them.

    Yes I spotted that. OP, when you say it reboots every night, does it actually reboot, or does it stay off until you reboot it next morning? Because if you are switching it off after the nightly reboot, that is part of the problem. If it reboots itself, it will have a chance to stabilise. I never turn off my router. If I leave the house for a holiday, it stays on.


    The Hub appears to go off then returns to show green light then flashing brown, brown and eventually blue


    When it has dropped in the past lights remain the same and connection returns within about a minute
