restart router after few minutes of inactivity

(1/5) > >>

kalos:
hello!

because of the low quality of the telephone line cable in my area and the large distance from the nearest dslam, my router gets filled with errors (not sure what this is, I was told so) and it needs restart to refresh and the dsl line become operational again

is there a software to restart/reset my router after few minutes of inactivity?

thanks!

2 simple solutions:
- Get a better ISP
- Get a better router

kalos:
Unfortunately i have already done these without success

I need a program that will do this, i know programs that can detect network activity, exist

skwire:
The hard part will be resetting your router in a programmatical way.  What kind of router is it?  Also, how do you detect when to reset it?  Are you test pinging a site or something like that?

Carol Haynes:
You can usually reset routers via their config screen. Can you not automate opening the right page and click restart?

Alternatively start arguing with your telephone company that the service they are providing is not acceptable. If your DSL connection is that bad then your telephony is probably crappy too.
