Hello,

Does anyone know IF and/or WHERE I can find the uptime information for the router?

I am coming from another brand that disappointed me - the uptime of the router was not going longer than 2 days (it was restarting itself) and I would like to see how long does C3200 stay 'on going' until it restarts (like the previous one).

Thank you!

I am using C3200 v1. It can easily go beyond 30 days without needing any restart.

Thank you for the reply.

I pinged an IP for about 1-2 weeks and I noticed that the connection did not drop more than 1 seconds, therefore the router did not restart, but I was wondering if this information is available on the this router.

Almost any router that I had before had this information somewhere, and it is very useful if you are encountering some issue within the network...

Also, I am shocked that the firmware on this 'high-end' router is from 2016, so no security updates since then...

Hi

You can get the uptime via snmp, enable it in Advanced > System Tools > SNMP Settings > Enable SNMP Agent;

via linux, check:
[code]igor@linux:~$ snmpwalk -v2c -c public tplinkwifi.net 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (26366000) 3 days, 1:14:20.00
[/code]

Hi igortrix and thank you for your suggestion.

I had no idea what SNMP is, but I familiarised myself a bit with it. I am a Windows user and I managed to get SnmpGet program to be able to do this.

But I am still not able to get the information and I am not sure why. In the Command Prompt I am doing the following:

[CODE]snmpget.exe -r:tplinkwifi.net -c:public -v:2c -o:1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3[/CODE]

Value=

I have also tried other variations, but I always get the same results. Do you know by any chance why?

Thank you!
