Auto Power-Cycle

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is not an issue but a suggested feature addition...

Is it possible to include a scheduled / automatic power cycle switch in the 
firmware? I have seen that power cycling the router once in a day improves 
connectivity speeds and the processor keeps performing well... 

This is just my observation and a suggestion.

I don't think that actually is a very good idea, but you should be able to 
create a cron job that reboots the Router every-day, add "/sbin/shutdown -rF 
now" as command.

I'm not sure how to do that. I've no idea about Linux commands.. and I use 
Windows 8.1 on my PC

You may use crond:

You may reboot router by command 'reboot'

Just wondering why you think it is not a good idea. For me rebooting it from 
time to time helps keep things snappy and it's not detrimental since everything 
connects back automatically and one can set the auto reboot schedule to come on 
in the early morning when no one or less people are using it (ie. 3-4am)

This is Windows users approach. I've seen many unix systems in production, 
which work for years. Applications running on these servers were not restarted 
during server uptime.
