Technique to remotely reboot the router from the browser

It seems that there are surprisingly many people who have had a bad router in the past or who continue to cheat and use it, which sometimes has symptoms such as disconnection, power plug once unplugged and plugged in again, and so on. ?? I can still forgive it once in a while, but if you have this symptom frequently, it can be annoying to go to the router every time you lose your connection.

This time, I will introduce how to do the work from a personal computer. If this problem happens quite often, it's not just the router that needs to be fixed, but a firmware update, or because it's incompatible with your ISP, you'll need to contact your provider, etc. The element of is also conceivable. If it happens very occasionally and the cause has not been identified, this method may be useful (even if it is a temporary solution).

This task requires administrator privileges on the router. If you have a privately owned home router, it's very easy to do. The router is also likely to be using the model's default username / password. This can be easily checked around this page. You can also use a paper clip to press the reset button on the back of the router to perform a hard reset.

In most cases it should be an IP address, such as "http://192.168.1.1". The router settings page is different, but you can reboot by going to the basic settings, saving without changing anything, and clicking the Adapt button. Please check the connection after rebooting!

This article is based on comments from Lifehacker in Australia and a bit of Google research. Therefore, it is not possible to confirm how effective the plugging / unplugging of the power plug of the router is against the necessary disconnection (because it is not possible to create an environment where disconnection occurs frequently). If you have frequent disconnections, or if you are in an environment where plugging and unplugging the power plug of your router is no longer a daily routine, please give it a try and let us know the results in the comments! thank you!
