Title: How can I remotely power cycle my modem/router? Post by: joae1975 on September 22, 2013, 10:50:35 AM Today, while away from home, my miner went idol because my internet connection timed out. There's nothing wrong with my service. My modems need power cycled every so often. Although it's been happening more lately. I need to power cycle my modem and router. Is there such a device that will do this for you if the internet connection goes down? The device would have to power cycle the router first then the modem. Then wait for a successful connection. Any ideas? Thx!

Any ideas? Thx! Remotely power cycle your modem/router is possible. You simple select remote access in your modem/router setting. But I will not recommend you to do this. Because this is a security risk. If you can remotely access your modem/router. So can others, who managed to guess your username and password. I think a better option, is to update your modem/router firmware. This might help. Or if your modem/router is over 2 years old, it might be time to get a new one.

Post by: 01BTC10 on September 22, 2013, 01:16:21 PM Maybe use an electronic timer that will switch power off/on for 1sec every X period of time. It could also be done with a pi that ping the Internet and if it fails then switch the modem/router off/on. I would probably simply change the router if a firmware upgrade don't fix the problem.

Any router worth using will restart the connection if it dies. Title: Re: How can I remotely power cycle my modem/router?

Your remote switch will need a 3g modem.

Title: Re: How can I remotely power cycle my modem/router? Post by: Zeek_W on September 27, 2013, 04:11:39 AM What model of modem/router do you have? If oyu put DDWRT on it you can (from memory) schedule power cycles when internet times out or set times.
I remember it being handy when I was in a shitty area where dropouts were common (damn kookaburras on the phone wires haha) Title: Re: How can I remotely power cycle my modem/router?

But as soon as I got back I bought a new netgear WNDR4500. It's fast as hell!! I get 115mb/s on my iMac wireless. My comcast contract is for only 25mb/s.I remember it being handy when I was in a shitty area where dropouts were common (damn kookaburras on the phone wires haha) Title: Re: How can I remotely power cycle my modem/router?

Unfortunately DD-WRT is still a work in progress for your modem so any scheduling options are not applicable. Title: Re: How can I remotely power cycle my modem/router?

Title: Re: How can I remotely power cycle my modem/router? Post by: kuusj98 on October 10, 2013, 12:23:12 PM Maybe use one of those timers which people use to autmatically power the lights on and off to scare the thiefs? and then just set it like a real short off period and you should be all set!
