For my t-mobile home internet, I have to restart the router daily otherwise I drag down from 80+ mbps to something like 20mbps. Are better routers coming out? Am I the only one this is happening to? 
 

I have called support before on this and they just have me reboot or reset the router but it eventually comes back. 
 

I tried an Alexa plug but it needs internet to start back up. Doh!

No such setting on the Nokia router that I see. I wondered if scheduling power off on would prevent it.


You can still reboot your unit with a timer. The battery backup only saves your router settings, disconnecting the power and reconnecting reboots the Nokia Tower. The Nokia Tower firmware is buggy, you could also be an unlucky one and by shutting off the power to the unit, its possible you will lose all your settings, the only way to know is try it.

 


Last week, I went from 30-40Mbps down to 1.5Mbps down. Uptime was about 6 weeks or so. Had to restart the router and it returned to normal. This might be the norm for this router and this firmware version.


As others have stated multiple resets in a day sometimes not for a couple of days this doesn’t resolve the internal problem of the modem router but it will certainly make your life a lot easier.

I purchased a keep assist which was easy to set up I changed  the advanced settings to reboot the power in one minute when it deciphers there’s no longer an Internet connection it works like a champ you still may lose your Internet but you don’t have to get up and reset it you can just do whatever for 60 seconds 

 


With other routers, I plug them into wall wart timers to turn them off for a short time in the middle of the night every day.  This one has battery backup, so T-mobile needs to add a feature in the firmware to allow us to auto-reset the device on a schedule chosen by each of us.  Mine is not in a convenient place to push the reset button and I would rather not have to do it.

...and what is that battery for anyway?  you can't use the device when it is in battery mode.  


I have the same issue but instead of me calling T-Mobile Support, I just keep doing the Gateway Placement and for the most part it's working but I don't know for how long 


Do you have the router set to auto-detect the connection speed?  This can cause this because the connection will drop or slow down and the router relocks in the speed.  Disabling this and entering the maximum up and down speed manually and saving it should stop this from happening.

Ok, where do I go to set this and what should the settings be?


Ok, where do I find this and what should the settings be?

Exactly. 

Unless you have it on a timer. You need to set an IOT plug to reset it on a timer.
