Reboot remotely possible??

OMG I had this great idea to connect it to a smart plug.  Then I figured out I can turn it off but not back on.  Yikes.  You can log in via 192.168.0.1 etc etc. but that only works from home on your network??  Is there a way to reboot it remotely?  I guess I could call Spectrum too as a last resort to recycle the connection.

  • OH... I tried the app but right now at the moment it won't let you login or creat an account.

      You can try the app or enable remote management in settings, then connect using your public IP address (instead of the normal LAN IP you would use) then reboot from the interface that way
