Scheduled auto reboot
Hi,
it seems that my firewalla gold works better if it is rebooted from time to time.
Any future option (or some existing via CLI) that I can use to reboot it from time to time ?
Thanks :)

@Jacek, by design, you should not need to reboot the unit. Next time you encounter any issues, will you mind send a note to help@firewalla.com and include your logs.
If you really need to reboot, here is how to do it

You can make a crontab here.

I've been struggling with intermittent network issues on certain devices making certain kinds of requests for weeks now, and I spent countless hours trying to troubleshoot it and not getting anywhere. In a fit of frustration, I decided to reboot the Firewalla via the software, and lo and behold, everything started working properly again.

Firewalla is a very stable and excellent product, but it is past time for it to have a scheduled reboot function. Even if you don't think it needs it, there's never been a consumer electronics product in history that hasn't benefited from a fresh reboot once in a while. 😉
