How to configure the device to automatically reboot if it fails to ping a gateway?
To configure the device to automatically reboot if it fails to ping a gateway, use the Gateway Connection Monitor feature:
- Enable Gateway Connection Monitor via
Settings, Schedule, Gateway Connection Monitor. - Set the parameters:
- Status: Enable.
- Gateway IP Address: Set this to the IP address to ping.
- Delay Between Timeouts: Set the interval in seconds to wait before retrying a ping after a timeout. (Default: 30 seconds)
- Timeout Attempts Before Reboot: Set the number of failed ping attempts before triggering a reboot. (Default: 10)
- Ping Delay After Auto Reboot: Set the delay in minutes before the device pings again after a reboot. (Default: 15 minutes)
- Reboot Attempts: Set the number of reboot attempts before the device stops auto-rebooting. (Default: 5)
- Save and Apply: Click

Note: Pinging external addresses can be affected by internet stability, potentially causing false positives.
