R7900P remote reboot

Had a power outage last night. My modem is working but my router needs rebooting and I’m away. Is there a way to reboot wifi router remotely? App says my wifi router is disconnected but it is not.

  • Not unless you have Remote Management enabled. (which is a security risk anyways)

         Give someone a key to your home, and call him when you want your
      router restarted?

         Not likely to work well, I claim.
