Router: WRT32X
Firmware: r39800 (05/15/19)

Scheduled reboot works fine for me.

Which revision of the firmware are you running?

03:00 Daily

Try letting it run for several days and see if it picks up the schedule by the second or third day.

I'll wait and see if this works. I have a similar daily reboot schedule, but the router's uptime is currently 1 day 19 hours.

Just tossing this out, but have you checked if the time is set in your router? If not, please ensure that you have a time server set for use. I recommend utilizing time.nist.gov as it's the main server for NIST and will automatically balance the load of the NIST servers by redirecting the query to a server with lower utilization.
If your time isn't set, the schedules won't work. First thing I could think of.

One more thing... Did you flash the new DD-WRT firmware and keep your old settings? If so, try changing the time schedule for the automatic reboot, save settings, apply, then change them back to what you ultimately want, save, apply and reboot the router. Sometimes the old settings in NVRAM don't migrate properly after a DD-WRT upgrade.

Changing the time and applying the changes worked.

FWIW, There is also the reboot script which can be applied at startup.
Code:
echo "#!/bin/sh" > /tmp/restart_router
echo "startservice run_rc_shutdown; /sbin/reboot" >> /tmp/restart_router
chmod a+x /tmp/restart_router
echo "25 3 */3 * * root /tmp/restart_router" > /tmp/cron.d/restartrouter

This will restart every 3rd day at 3:25.
Change to your liking.

The Scheduled Reboot worked the first night after I'd updated to R39884 (20190530), but isn't working now.

My recollection is that this has been an issue that's come and gone over various releases. Rather than mess with it, I've added the "Reboot" script under Administration/Commands.

After I couldn't get the scheduled reboot to work by checking the box in the Administration/Keep Alive tab, I UNchecked that box, and put the following script into the Adminstration/Commands "Startup" section:
Quote:
echo "#!/bin/sh" > /tmp/restart_router
echo "startservice run_rc_shutdown; /sbin/reboot" >> /tmp/restart_router
chmod a+x /tmp/restart_router
echo "0 3 * * * root /tmp/restart_router" > /tmp/cron.d/restartrouter


Unfortunately, this isn't working either. I've checked to see that the script is indeed getting written (it is), and the entry has been made in /tmp/cron.d (it's there).

Any thoughts on this? I've found, at least with older releases, that without a regular reboot, dnsmasq stops working reliably.

Thanks!

I have not used the script in a long time and I find nothing that says it has to be
but I did have cron enabled on Administration->Management tab with other tasks.

Entirely different router though.
