Software for rebooting router

[neonplanet40]

Is there any software you can get to automatically reboot your router say every two hours when you arent about?

Thanks guys

Not sure about software as I assume it would have to be somthing the manufature make.
You could get one of those security plug sockets with a timer on?

tbh i know very little about routers.

Ill have to hoke put the box and find the model number. I know its a belkin wireless though.

Sorry for lack of detail

Hmmmm - I know some of them are telnet manageable - would it be possible to script something and then run the script every couple of hours? Out of interest why do you want to do this anyways? I'd prefer as little downtime on my connection as possible!

There is an error with my isp atm where after 2 hours or so it gets flooded with NAT tables and speeds crawl to 1kb per sec. but a reboot fixes this. So when im not about etc and i could run this automatically so it could go back to normal. If that makes sense

Your router probably supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

I did a google search for the SNMP commands needed to to a remote reboot and did not find anything usefull, but you may have more luck.
