Resetting a router

[Bill Vlahos]

Another option is the brute force approach which is to buy a 
programmable timer that power cycles the router. Timex makes a 7-day 
programmable digital timer which could, for example, be set to turn the 
outlet off every Sunday a 3:00am and back on at 3:01am or whatever 
settings you want. This timer is less than $15 and has a built in clock 
and backup battery. I got mine at Target.

Of course it won't do it in response to an actual problem so it isn't 
as smart as some of the other suggestions but it is pretty cheap.

What you describe for the HTML in Rev should be completely doable as 
long as the router is alive enough to actually work and accept the 
reset command. Since the router is already compromised it may not 
reliably work.
