How to restart all satellites and router?

If I want to restart my RBR850 and 2-RBS8750s at the same time to recycle everything, what is the best way to do that? It looks like on the router web page orbilogin.com, Router/Advanced/Home Page just reboots the router, is that true? 

 

Second, do you make it a practice to restart your router and satellites periodically? If so how frequently?

 

Thanks!

  • Yes you can just go through the browser page for a reboot.

    Do I reboot on a schedule? No. But I change routers/firmware often enough that at least once a month they're getting rebooted for something.

      plemans thanks. Do you mean go to each device's browser page individually? No way to do all devices from one place I guess?

    Yes, that is correct.  The router is "where everything happens", so restarting the satellites is not nearly as significant.

    My router has been up continuously for 113 days. So, no. I only restart when there is a reason to.
