BGW320-500 rebooting itself too often
| Manufacturer | HUMAX |
|---|---|
| Model Number | BGW320-500 |
| Software Version | 3.20.5 |
I had the previous router and had no rebooting issues. When I first got this router, I had no issues. But recently (past two weeks or so) this thing restarts itself too often, and it's beginning to cause problems in my professional life.
I called tech support, and the guy claimed to have installed new firmware and told me that the issue has been cleared up, but he was wrong, because the reboots continue. Any ideas? I cannot have this!

We're not sure why but we've seen a number of issues like this on the BGW320 get fixed by disabling IPv6. Might be worth a shot.
Go HERE then enter the Access Code as shown on the back of the gateway and change IPv6 to OFF and then click the Save button.
🤞🤞

Are you with ATT, and have you confirmed this to resolve my specific issue? I have no need for IPv6 anyway, so this will not impact me in the slightest, so I have disabled it as you've suggested.

I am not with AT&T (thank heaven for small favors!) and if you search through the forums you'll see a growing number of people we've suggested this to and it seems to work. As you said, no downside for 99% of the user base (and you'd know if you're in the 1%) so it's worth a shot.
