Routers typically store DNS data, so restarting actually reduces its effectiveness by clearing the cache. In the UK, it’s best not to let your DSL router restart frequently because the telecom system may see it as instability and lower your sync rate. There’s no valid reason to auto-reboot a router unless there’s an underlying software problem.
Although this might be accurate, numerous possible situations exist about why routers restart. It would be helpful to allow the public to choose whether to turn on an automatic restart feature when needed...
No automated method exists for this. Since the modem is set up, it communicates using channel bits that avoid problems during operation. The chassis manages this automatically each time, and a reboot won’t affect the DSL connection.
To summarize, all Asus routers that work with Aimesh include a scheduled reboot feature, offering an accuracy down to the hour. For example, my AC-3100 reboots each weekday at 1:00 PM.
This claim isn't accurate. Openreach uses a complex Dynamic Line Management system that tracks things like DSL reboots and error rates, adjusting your sync rate, SNR Margin, and interleaving based on line stability. Simply searching for "DLM Reset" reveals how challenging this process can become once activated. Although a daily reboot is unlikely to cause it, combining it with other line issues raises the chances. These inconsistencies aren't obvious to users—my recent experience included added latency without any warning, only noticed when checking modem stats and observing a slowdown over time. For gamers, increased latency would be bothersome. Generally, a capable router should only need reboots for firmware updates, not frequent ones due to instability.
Why anyone would choose such a system? The protocol manages it directly and offers real-time performance when the modem allows it. Interleaving is standard unless you have an exceptionally smooth channel where you can adjust speed, otherwise you’ll face constant interruptions. It only becomes obvious when you notice windowing flapping.
