Venus - reboot when no contact with ethernet?

The "Reboot device when no contact", in the Venus device, under "Settings" / "VRM online portal", is useful with an unreliable wifi connection.

Do you still need this if you use an ethernet cable to the venus device, to a router that is not always on? The scenario here is a Venus GX that is connected to a Thales satellite router that is not always on. The router will be switched two or three times a day, and we need the Venus to then upload the locally stored records when the router becomes available.

Or, maybe a different question - is it harmful for the Venus to reboot all the time ;-)

Best try it. The question is will the Cerbo restore the connection when it's available?

Another option is to increase the time between reboots. This will minimise data loss during reboots.

There shouldn't be any harm to the Cerbo with frequent restarts, but...
