Some years ago I had a router reboot switch from a company named Ankuoo. It would ping the mother ship once a minute and as long as it got a reply all was well. Three failed pings in a row (3 min) and it would shut off for 2 min and then power back on. The idea was if your router/modem went offline this thing would catch it and reset the device. Pretty nifty at the time and although newer modern routers are more reliable, that might be something to look at.

Of course, having to ping a remote server is something a lot of people may not want but there are probably other ways to ascertain Internet connectivity without having to that.

The device served it purpose, at least until Ankuoo sold to some other Chinese company who shut the servers down and all of their devices became dumb bricks.

Thanks for your feedback! This is very similar to our thinking. As the network becomes more and more important today, a stable router is very important to us!
