Ping Watchdog

Post by Volaris »

I have a basic question about the Ping Watchdog plug in. If I put 10 for the "failure ping count", does that mean every 5 minutes it'll ping the target 10x and restart only if they fail all 10 times? Or will it ping the target 10x and restart if it fails only 1 ping? Thanks.

QoS Tip: Don't complicate your QoS settings. Gargoyle evenly splits available bandwidth between active devices as needed. Just delete all your classification rules and leave only one normal service class and you're done. No more arguing over bandwidth.

Thanks, that's what I also thought.

Just trying to reduce the amount of restarts while connected to an unstable fixed wireless connection.
