hi all, so recently I'm using 5g router and noticed that sometimes when idle for too long the internet will be down and the only way to solve it is restart the router, so just wondering is there any way to solve this except restarting the router myself? I looked into smart plug as well but seems like none of them can check for internet connection and restart the power, I'm not looking into custom router firmware as well, not sure is there any other way?

for restart, yes my router does have the option to restart at a set interval, I set it at midnight 4am now, but if lets say the internet is down at 8am in the morning, I have to wait long time until it restart and I will lost access to my cctv for quite some time. Just thinking is there any other tools that can help automate this or not, http://resetplug.com/ is the only one I found, but technically I believe any smart plug should be able to do this if they allowed us to do that kind of customization.

This 5GStore IP power switch automatically pings five different targets; when it is unable to do so, it will power-cycle any devices that are connected to its power source.

Ideal for both home and business networks, this IP power switch from 5GStore prevents connections from timing out or going dormant. This remote switch for outlets also allows you to create an automatic power schedule. Contact us if you have any questions about IP Power Switches and how these items can benefit your network continuity.
