Thanks for the clarification @sitloongs. So just to make sure:
- This watchdog is a standard hardware based watchdog timer that will reboot the router if the software crashes enough that it cannot service the timer on time.
- Even though this post claims this watchdog should not be used by end-users, it is ok to use it. It is not going to cause additional instabilities in the system.
I am looking forward to your confirmation of the above. If confirmed, I will go ahead and enable it instead of the preventive daily scheduled reboots we currently have. Thanks.
