Does anyone know if we can use a tool or a method to remotely restart the router? Or even remotely restart the internet connection of the router?
I know we can telnet into the router, but each router has different menu systems and sub menu systems, does anyone know a list that maintains or shows the menu system to reach the "reboot router" sub menu or "restart internet connection" sub menu for all or even some of the main routers? I'm mainly interested in home/personal use routers.
If this link exists, i can write the software to automate the rebooting of the router and even the rebooting of the internet connection.
Of course, once i write the software, i will make it freely available over the internet for everyone to use, and i will also link to it from this superuser.com post so that anyone reading this post will know how to download and use my software.
I can automate everything. Even if you want to shutdown your router before shutting down your computer, i can create a button that will shut down your router and (once it is confirmed as shut down) my program will then shut down your pc/laptop/computer.
Of course, the rebooting part will be the section that is mostly used, and that will also be a one button click process.
If anyone can direct me to how to navigate through the submenus for most routers in order to reach the rebooting router or rebooting internet connection section, i will make different buttons for each process and this will solve the problem for everyone.
It would be my absolute pleasure to do this for you all and for everyone to use, I don't care how long it takes me to write it, even if it takes ages, I will do it.
Any advice anyone?
Also, I don't consider logging into the http interface and trying to reboot from there, since that takes too many mouse movements and button clicks. I intend to make all the features a one button click process.
I would totally appreciate anyone who can lead me in the right direction to achieve this. Thanks all.
I just use a radio transmitter linked to the power switch on my own router, saves me walking down 3 floors... & feels somehow... safer ;-) – Tetsujin – 2014-11-22T16:21:55.520
@Tetsujin I really need a remote solution, i know it's possible because there is a windows gadget plugin that does it, but it doesn't work for all routers, asks for password & username which most people don't know, and I know how to make it better if I have the information requested. – user51047 – 2014-11-23T02:32:48.083
@davidpostill My question is certainly not off topic, where am I supposed to post a question like this if not here? Do you get a kick out of making this website less user friendly? Please don't be another [CasperOne] who is a rampant post closer and closes posts without even reading or understanding the question, mainly because he can't know everything about programming. By doing what you did, you are just removing value from the site, you are not adding value. Being a good person means everyone wins, I am willing to write this software that so many can use for free, why harm the community? – user51047 – 2014-11-23T02:36:54.043
