Schedule a Router Reboot

Vigor routers feature a time schedule function that enables network administrators to automate router restarts according to a defined schedule. The schedule can be configured to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on specific needs. This article provides an example of how to schedule a system reboot every workday.

1. Go to Applications >> Schedule and click on an available index.

2. Edit the schedule profile as follow:

  1. Check Enable Schedule Setup.
  2. Set the Start Date and Start Time.
  3. Set the Duration Time to 0:0 (required), otherwise reboot function won't work.
  4. If this profile is for rebooting, we can ignore the Action and Idle Timeout and leave them as default.
  5. In this example, we want the reboot to be a routine. Check the Weekdays from Monday to Friday

1. Ensure the current time on the Vigor Router is correct via System Maintenance / Device Settings / Time and Date.

2. Create a Schedule Profile

Navigate to Configuration > Objects > Schedule and click +Add to create and edit the schedule profile.

  • Name: Enter a name for the schedule profile.
  • Enabled: Switch this option to On.
  • Start Date: Choose the desired start date.
  • Start Time: Set the time the schedule to begin.
  • End Time: Leave this as 00:00, as the system will ignore the End Time when the schedule profile is applied to System Reboot.
  • Repeat: Select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly, based on your requirements.
  • End Repeat: If needed, select an End Date to stop the schedule on a specific date.

    • 3. Apply the Schedule Profile to System Reboot.

    Navigate to System Maintenance / System Reboot, switch on Enable Auto Reboot Schedule, select the Schedule Profile, then click Apply to save the setting.

    4. Vigor Router will reboot at the scheduled time.

    A log of the scheduled reboot event can be seen under Monitoring / Log Center.

    1. Go to System Maintenance >> Time and Date, and make sure time setting is correct
