You have to be on site for any router to be able to reset it.
One can install a power timer and schedule a time frame on when the connected router could be powered OFF and back ON.
However if your having to reset or power cycle a wifi router, this means there is a problem that needs to be investigated and troubleshot to figure out the real problem as wifi routers are designed to be online constantly 24/7 and operate with out problems.
Thank you for the quick response.
I am an old electronic & telco guy
If I had a POT line, an answering machine and couple relay I could solve this problem.
NO app needed.
Thank you
you know I remember seeing a few years ago some timer thing with a plug was being sold so that your router could reset at night at a set time every day, not sure if they still sell these type of plug devices.
