command to reset wireless

There is no command line to do that

Wireless frequently stops working and I have to either to a power off/on sequence (which interrupts other family members) or log into the router's menus and go through the pages to get to the reset option.

How are the other family members connected? Are you the only wireless user?

I don't know what happened just then, but in the middle of trying to reply, I must have hit the wrong key.......

Otheers may be using wireless and obviously would want unit to be reset.

However if one is using a wired connection, and in the middle of something, she tends to get upset if I have to use the simpler power off/om approach.

Unfortunately you can just restart wireless without power on/off the router

"Unfortunately" ? ;)

Other than powering off/on the router, the only thing I have found so far is the following; if you have something else in mind, I'd appreciate it if you would pass it along.

Open routerlogin page
Log in
Select Router Status
Select Connection Status
Select Renew
Log out

For those instances where I find just one specific computer cannot get access to the internet, I have two batch files which I can invoke to get things going again. One is simply "ipconfig /release" and the other used to be just "ipconfig /renew". But later I found a more lengthy series of commands on a MS page that is more reliable. Both can be invoked from simple shortcuts.

The latter, in case any readers are interested consists of the following commands:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
arp -d
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
pause

I added the "pause" so I could check for any error messages.

However, as I mentioned this works for cases where just a single computer has a problem, and not with this wireless problem.
