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.

• Enabled: Switch this option to On. 
• Start Date: Choose the desired start date. 
• Start Time: Set the time the schedule to begin.
