Comment on A smart plug to monitor your router and automatically reset power if WiFi fails

Comments

I'd prefer a router with a AA battery slot, so it doesn't go down in the first place.

Different problem.

To summarize: many consumer level routers tend to lock up due to firmware bugs, hardware defects, or overheating. Because they're closed devices, the solution is usually power off/power on & let the restart clear up any issues and restore proper wifi functionality. This device ingeniously automates that step.
