    I feel like — like myself — none of the technical users of Lemmy would actually like this. For me, my router is a mini PC running Alpine Linux and it’s likely the modem (which is also my own) is having problems with the physical cable connection but if I were using an all-in-one shit box from the ISP there would be no way of knowing.

    All this to say, if restarting the router “fixes” things there’s likely a deeper, more unsettling problem happening that’s not being diagnosed.

      Odds are it’s just some memory leak.
      Having to reboot every 2-3 month isn’t too far fetched for these ISP modem/router.
