Command or script to reboot Nighthawk M1?
Is there a command or script to reboot the Nighthawk M1 without entering the gui?
Perhaps you could modify that script that "turns off data and turns data back on" to do a reboot instead. Of course that script is used to fix certain problems without having to wait for a reboot, so, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, you may be trying to fit a square peg into a round hole instead of using the square hole right next to it.
- I tried that script but for some reason didn't detected that my connection was down. Perhaps because only the ports 80 and 443 are the only ones blocked. Also I have tried logging to the router and turning off and on the data but that didn't work either. The reboot did the job.
Ports 80 and 443... sounds like AT&T. Connected Car Plan?
You can easily modify the script to detect a web connection:
import httplib conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.netgear.com")
conn.request("HEAD", "/")
r1 = conn.getresponse() print r1.status, r1.reasonIf it is reachable, it returns:
200 OK
You could also modify the on/off data to click the reboot button in the router. I've also heard changing bands is like a reboot when it comes to this problem.
Thanks for replying. It is not a car plan, is an unlimited plus. I got the nighthawk when they allowed to have the nighthawk with this plan. Thanks for the code to detect a web connection. I really dont know the python language. Do you know the code to reboot or change bands? Thanks.
