is there an easy way to reboot router every 24hrs
running latest build on a netgear r6220
periodic for those inclined to such things

Why do you want to do this? In most cases, it is not necessary to reboot the router except when you make certain types of configuration changes and/or system upgrades. OpenWrt is stable in most scenarios and should handle months of up-time with any issues. So, if you are running into a specific issue that is apparently resolved by rebooting, I'd recommend that you actually open a thread to see if you can find a resolution to that issue... rebooting is just masking the overall issue, not solving it.
That said, if you do choose to implement a reboot script/cron job, do it carefully... you can end up in a reboot loop due to the fact that most routers do not have a real-time-clock (they rely on ntp), and successive reboots could be triggered before the network/ntp has come up.
i'm getting a system usage overload occuring sometime after about 1 day of runtime and just want a means to overcome it before i have time to look into it's source.
ive added the cron job mentioned in first reply hopefully that will get my by for now
thanks
