RT-N66U Reboot Schedule

Hello,

I am running stock firmware on my RT-N66U and was wondering if there is a way to schedule a daily reboot of my router? I would rather keep stock firmware instead of flashing with tomato or dd-wrt, if possible.

Why the need to reboot the router on a daily basis?

I have a RT-N66R (same router but from Best Buy) and have only rebooted it twice since I purchased it back in July. I don't even remember why I rebooted it. FWIW I run the stock firmware that was installed at the factory.

For some reason my VOIP loses connectivity very frequently and a simple router reboot brings it back alive. Instead of finding out my VOIP line is dead and manually rebooting the router to get it back up and running, I want to schedule a daily reboot so I would not have to do this manually any more.

I have the exact same issue. After a period of time, the SIP connection would no longer connect until the RT-N66U was rebooted. This happens with both the OEM Asus firmware as well as the Asus based Merlin firmware.

Same here, but on the Seattle server. But it's definitely a RT-N66U issue my various other routers don't have the same issue.

3.0.0.4.270.26 (Merlin build)

It's a older version but I haven't had the chance to update it as I'm accessing it remotely at present.

It's a third party firmware built from Asus' official firmware.

The only way I can think of how to do that is looking at a programmable timer of some sort to turn off power briefly then turn power back on. This is one example that may or may not work...

Wouldn't adjusting your TCP timeouts fix this disconnection problem? Does the ASUS firmware allow you to do this?
