Could we have a reboot button on the router’s main page?
I think it’s important to have this feature readily accessible. Both Asus and GL.iNet include it, and it’s very useful.
Thank you for your feedback.
Can I ask a reason for a reboot button on the router's main page? Because the router supports Reboot Schedule, you can reboot the router at a specific time regularly if you worry about its runtime. I do find that ASUS has a Reboot button on its main page, which is a good feature, but I personally still see no necessity for it.

Regarding AI QoS with Gaming Mode, I noticed that a game I’ve never played Dota Underlords appears in the boost feature. I’ve never played this game at all.
I’m using Steam on macOS and don’t have a PC.
