command to reset wireless
Is there are any to issue the command to reset the wireless section of the router without going through all of the router menus? Wireless frequently stops working and I have to either to a power ...
"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.
