WN3000RP online restart

I'd like to be able to restart my WN3000RP remotely (via Netgear Genie), rather than having to push the button on the physical device. I see there's a command to remotely do a factory reset, but I just want to restart without losing my settings.

I suppose I can remotely save and then restore my settings, which will have the side-effect of restarting the extender. But is there a less convoluted method that has escaped my notice?

    Gary56798,

    I found this in the manual. It sound like what you're looking for.Kinda. lol If you save your settings and want to restart the extender then load up your settings and the router will restart automatically. Beside that I didn't see another way to restart the router.
    Here is the manual if you want to take a look. :)

    Restore Settings
    1. On the Backup Settings screen, click Browse.
    2. Locate and select the previously saved backup file.
    3. Click Restore.
    A screen displays letting you know that the device has been successfully restored to the
    previous settings. The Extender restarts.     This takes about 1 minute.


    I hope this helped
