Scheduled Reboot R650

I looked but here doesn't seem to be a specific board here for Feature requests?

And I searched and did not find anyone else asking for this feature in the R650.

As a new customer, I am very surprised and disappointed to find that he R650 has no capability of being setup with a scheduled reboot. Even the crappiest home consumer products have had this function for over 15 years. All hardware has its limits and needs a clean reboot every so often. Memory gets polluted, systems mess up. A different product line that we use for AP's has this option to schedule a weekly reboot.

Will Ruckus enabled that function in the R650 , and do so soon? Without it, I feel we cannot trust this product for deployment, and may not be able to purchase any more units.

Ruckus has been making enterprise level APs for a long time, with extremely good results. This level of product does not need a weekly reboot, if it did it would indicate a weakness in the product, not a strength. If you don't trust the product then don't use it, but I think I'd look at the successful deployment of these products across schools, stadiums, offices and homes and let go of your prosumer product experience. It's a different ballgame.

All that said, it can be done via CLI. A simple google search will get you there.

Crappy devices have ways to schedule reboots because they’re so unstable that they need them. Enterprise gear can run for years or decades without reboots.
