Router reboot

My router just rebooted all by itself. Speedtouch 585V6.

Any ideas why it might do that?

A burst of noise on the line, DLM changing parameters or BT altering things post-Paddington, Steve?

I wouldn't have thought any outside influence would cause a complete reboot.

At least, sync came back the same as it was.

Sorry, Steve, I thought you were referring just to a re-sync. I have seen re-boots triggered by DLM, but I've never worked out how.

DHCP server falling over?

Possible, I suppose.

My dg834g did just that a few weeks back. Cause: Mains plug not pushed in all the way=intermittent re-boots.
Moral: Always look for the easy answers first!!!

The disaster netgear router I bought just resets itself now and again. It appears that it runs out of RAM

How about DGTeam firmware if appropriate? They used to have a flush/optimise memory button.

No, it's a DGFV type model. Ironically for a business class use. It has been very, very bad. (This is the same one their support admitted does not properly support BT lines, despite being an ADSL router).

So its not fit for purpose and you could get a refund?
