Is it possible to reboot Nighthawk AC 1900 R7000 Router REMOTELY?

My RING Floodlight cameras have gone offline. 

Is there a way to reboot my router remotely?  I am not physically at the location of my router or RING cameras.

 

My router is a Nighthawk AC 1900 R7000 Router.

    Only if you have set this up Remote Management in advance and have signed up to use Anywhere Access and the router has a connection to the Internet.

     

    Both are explained in the manual, but what they now call Anywhere Access is Remote Access in the manual.

     

    With that sorted, you can use the NIghthawk App to reboot the router. Of course, that depends on the thing having an Internet connection. Without that, there is no way into the thing.
