Scheduled Tasks on Web Administration

When I place the next two lines on cron tasks I get the task done at the correct time but then it repeats each time the router reboots!

37 11 * * * reboot
30 07 * * * reboot

Why is it rebooting all the time?

Thanks

Because there is no RTC on the router. Time “goes back” during reboot so it goes into a boot loop.

Best solution: Find out why you think you need to reboot all the time and fix the root cause.

Alternative solution: Search the wiki for the page on the topic. (On my phone or I’d link it)

Really, your router should run for months without needing a reboot!
