My router has been rebooting [View all]

I have Comcast, but I'm using my own WiFi router. Several times today, though, I've noticed it's gone off the air and when I went to look at it, noticed that it had powered down and was rebooting.

I've had it for years, it's running the latest firmware and I've never had any issues with it.

Is this something I should be concerned about?

I will do that if shutting off the old XP system doesn't fix it. Ron Obvious Jun 2021 #11
