Random reboots

[Teflon490]

Wanted to ask if it is just my Ultra that is rebooting itself randomly when not turned on? It happens roughly once per 2 weeks, happend several times already but I do not remember it doing this half a year ago when I bought it, so it was probably introduced by one of the later FWs.
I know it by looking at my router logs seeing link to it went down several times (connected via ethernet), and no new firmware was installed that would warrant the reboot. Is this some kind of a feature I am missing?

I think it's just checking for updates. There may be some small fixes applied that don't warrant a new firmware version.

It reboots every three days.

It reboots every three days.

Interesting, I wonder why that is? Usually periodic reboots try to hide some memory leaks or similar stuff My receiver does not need to be rebooted all year long...
Also, I am sure this was not happening about 6 months back, I noticed it only in the last 2 months or so.

The documented behaviour hasn't changed over the last 6 months.

I kept meaning to ask about the random reboots i've seen my ultra do, good to know that it's normal.

Not formally documented as such, but certainly mentioned in responses such as this

Thank you.
So this is a behaviour showing up only for ultra devices.
Never observed anything like that on my pro.

To be honest, I don’t think I’ve been overly aware of it on any of my devices other than occasionally noticing the now playing/ queue has been cleared on a device - which doesn’t bother me at all.

 

[dudu]

Me too. But documented behaviour triggered me ...

My ultra reboots.
My pros reboot.
My C10 reboots.
I'm pretty sure my amps reboot too, but they are generally in my office so I'm either using them or not there to notice.

Yes, my Amp certainly reboots, as well as my Pro Plus.
