The daylight savings time is not that important. The main idea is that this reconnection happens when you are not using the Internet. For me, this doing the night. Now, if this happens at 3 or 4am, I do not really care..

The job is set to run “always”, which means every day at the specified time. Every 24 hours at 4am .
Running the reconnection job every 36 hours is exactly what you want to avoid. That would mean, for example, today at 5 am and tomorrow at 5 pm. If you are using your connection at 5 pm, this is annoying.

How do you know the time format of the schedule is in UTC and could it be possible that your formatting isn’t correct? Belgium is in timezone UTC/GMT + 1 and in the summer it becomes UTC/GMT + 2. So if you want the schedule to run at 4am, you have to set it at 02:00.
Also, under the WAN PPPoE settings the default schedule is set to run always. Why is this? Why not just a schedule set to run at a specific time every 36 hours?
Thank you for any help.

I tried using this both suggestions with no success. Is there another way to do this?

This above-described solution did not work for me. I actually had to put rule is active between 01:05 and 01:02 (and the BBOX 2 is clever enough to know I mean 01:02 “the next day”).
And then it works !

Thanks anyway for the good tip !
