TG582n with the old uptime issues requiring a reboot?

Used to be in the days of DIY adsl and cheap routers we had to reboot them once a fortnight, or they could crash/lockup if not.  My TG582n has a uptime and I believe connection time of the same of just short of 12 days and the known fault of the constant red internet light has struck.
Normally I would have rebooted it by now and or some BT work would have forced a lost sync before now, so wondering if anyone has noticed that.

No,no such problems since i've ran my own dns/cache. But yes my router locked up quite a bit before hand.
I've attatched a graph showing 48days uptime until i dropped the session on friday Wednesday due to a fault.

Re: TG582n with the old uptime issues requiring a reboot?

When I used the tg582n, and the tg587 / tg585 before that, I always thought these technicolor routers benefited from a reboot every couple of weeks.
It may have been my imagination but once past two weeks I always felt there was some sluggishness and other odd issues creeping in.
May have been a result of my poor line and the high error counts which built up.

Wasn't caused by the router doing dns here, I've always rolled my own Wink

Well it works for me which ever way, my router has now been up for 65 days with no slow-down apart from a little local fault. I'm still running 8CM0, the only change i've added is another forwarder, If i was to take that away or switch it off my router will start to play up, FACT.
