Almost never restart unless software needs updating.

Running airtel Nokia modem from last 40 days and having same IP address.

Good thing about airtel is that ip only refresh if modem is rebooted.

Had to restart it last month as the storage device needed to be swapped.

Gots to have that .io tld. Pretty expensive though.

😅 Yeah at 27-29 USD, .io TLD is super expensive 🙁

Not sure how to check runtime on my router, but it has been kept on ever since I got it in August!

I made my own UPS from a BMS 3S and some 18650 extracted from an old laptop, that has helped a lot with the uptimes!

I restart it whenever there's no internet, otherwise I don't.

I've scheduled a restart once a month on my C6. Number of dhcp devices are abt 20, and I thought perhaps it might slow down the router. Dont know if its required or not. 🙂

But in practice, time maybe less. BSNL ping varies across IP ranges. So sometimes disconnect - reconnect doesnt change the IP range. A restart is required.
