  @Joseph-TP 

 

Hi,

 

I have been getting random reboots on my BE230 since last week. I have turned off SMB as well as updating to the beta version of firmware and I am still facing the random reboots. I have tried using a different power socket and this is still happening. Specifically the power indicator will be flashing when the wifi cuts out most likely indiciating that it has restarted.

 

Thanks!

  @Joseph-TP 

 

thanks for the reply. i have now updated to the latest beta firmware version however I am still facing frequent router restarts. I have a simple setup of NBN->router->device

 

I don't believe it's NBN as the lights never change in the NBN box while the router lights all turn off and the power light starts flashing when disconnect occurs.

Hello  @gudejinchou ,

Thanks for getting back to us.

 

Please Disconnect all devices for comparison:
• Unplug all Ethernet cables attached to the router
• Change the Wi-Fi network name to something different (this will disconnect all wireless client devices)
• Observe if the self-rebooting issue disappears

This test will help determine if a connected device might be causing the router to reboot.

 

The tech team has been made aware of your case; they will likely reach out to you via email to continue troubleshooting. Please check your email inbox and confirm.
