I have several clients who use Linksys routers (WRT54G, BEFSR41, etc.),
mainly for simple broadband connection sharing. Unfortunately, the
router and internet connection insist on "crapping out" about once
every 10 days or so. As anyone who owns a router knows, the solution is
to have them power-cycle the router by unplugging/re-plugging the AC
adapter, and then usually doing a Network Connection "Repair" on each
machine.
I'm not really a network expert, so please excuse my ignorance. I don't
know if the problem is with DHCP Server issues or whatever. And yes,
they are all using the latest router firmware.
Does anyone know of a utility that will do the equivalent of a router
reboot,so that they don't have to yank the power cable?
Also, are there any router settings that I can change to make "crap
outs" less likely?
I appreciate any info or feedback.
