topic Powering down the router for 30 minutes in Fibre

Powering down the router for 30 minutes

Billx — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 14:30:14 GMT

I butted in someone else's topic just a while ago.

And I was informed that it would best to put the issue that arose there in a new topic.

So, I will repeat:

"I'd like to ask a question.

I was under the impression that if the broadband connection is full fibre, then it is the ONT that needs to be powered down for 30 minutes, rather than the router.

Am I misguided?"

No, @Billx, I agree with you. It is the ONT that needs the 30-minute power down, as that termiates the full fibre line.
