https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/Can-my-plusnet-router-be-set-to-auto-reboot-on-failed-ping/m-p/2009984#M41985 OK so now I ask for evidence of your claim its already gone from being a fact to an impression.. From viable solutions to alternative solutions.<BR />I like how you have masterly edited without my responses and instead of giving each one individually which would show I have responded to them with discussion. However point 1 how is a vpn or home assistant going to work when there's a issue with the Internet./ router? I will wait for you to explain.<BR />As for third party router I clearly said is this possible as I didnt think plusnet allow this. Please explain how that is a rejection and I will wait for your answer.<BR />I clearly asked for a automatic reboot solution to an immediate issue so please explain how scheduled reboots is a viable solution and I'll wait for your response.<BR />There was no mobile over solution apart from me suggesting I saw a sim smart plug in reference to my previous post but ideally would prefer to avoid the additional cost of a sim. This was not discrediting this route but looking at an option that doesn't cost monthly. Do you perceive this logic unreasonable and it was my suggestion not anyones? I'll wait for your response.<BR />I clearly said I had seen keep and ez outlet prior to posting the question and posted the question because of their cost but even then I didn't reject I just said its too expensive . Can you explain how that's a solution suggested when it was already considered prior to posting?<BR />A second line is more cost however I didn't reject anything.<BR />I'll summarise that I suspect you just have a grievance against me putting that huge email without validity. Maybe your mates with the first guy or some previous issue. . I don't know but let's hear your responses.

Then when told its basics of the IP protocol then googling to try and see ICMP looking up routers generally block responses. Trying to find a way to seem like you know what you are talking about when sending out is not the same as responding to ICMP requests.
