Remotly rebooting a wnap320

[Robert_Fernando]

Hi all,

Is itr possible to send a packet across the network to a wnap320 ap to reboot it.

I like to use spiceworks network monitoring tool to detect when the wireless radios / ssids have gone offline and when true reboot the ap to bring them back online automatically.

Regards

Hi Robert_Fernando,

I am not familiar with the spiceworks network monitoring tool.  You may use the NMS300 software to reboot the WNAP320 provided that the WNAP320 is within the local network.  The NMS300 is a Network Management Software for NETGEAR ProSAFE devices.  To know more about NMS300, click here. 

However, If you want to remotely reboot the WNAP320 from outside your network, then you will need to remotely access the web-GUI of the WNAP320 then reboot it via its web-GUI.
