BT Smart Hub 2 rebooting question

[joepineapples]

So I'd like to see using the event log, how often my SH2 has been rebooting itself, and if I discover it is within normal behaviour, if there's a way to instruct it to do so, at a time when I'm not streaming live sport, ie the middle of the night.

So what should I be looking for?

Thanks.

I don’t think it does reboot on FTTP.

I’ve just been upgraded to FTTP and I’ve yet to see a reboot.  On the old DSL it used to reboot every 14 days, regular as clockwork.  I don’t think you can set a schedule on that.

Of course, if it is rebooting every 14 days, just get into the habit of restarting it every Sunday night before you go to bed.  I found that pre-empting the 14 day limit reset the automated schedule.

It's rebooting for sure (?), I've seen it colour cycle during the day. Just wish I knew how often. Googled it and the strings it mentions to look for (after exporting the log to a csv file), aren't there.

Mmmm....It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that a fault is causing the connection to drop intermittently.  Or it could be the power supply on it's last legs.

I've only been on FTTP for about 5-6 weeks myself.  I've not seen it reset.  I did a reset myself recently, (for a change I'd made), but it's been going for 11 days now without a reset.

Looks like it's the normal 14 day thing...

I'll try as you suggest and do a manual reset periodically.  Wouldn't you think they'd do it overnight.

It's only 'normal' for some folks. I've never had it for example.

On FTTC mine always did.  I've never looked into it but I rather got the impression it reboots when traffic levels drop below a certain threshold.  I have Spotify on continuously and I suspect that may have been enough to put it off.  Very often it would reboot as soon as it was turned off.

@joepineapples 

You are the first poster I can remember seeing who has FTTP and a problem with 14 day hub rebooting

[joepineapples]

@imjolly  I like to buck the trend 😁.  To be honest, I'm just glad there's a pattern to it.  

Just to confirm, ALL reboots, regardless of reason, are logged with the text 'system restart' ?.

Anyone?
