Hi @Madnat,
I'm afraid that it's not possible to remotely reset your router if you're not connected to it, either by Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Coincidentally, having reviewed your account today I can see that you've started going through our troubleshooting process and so I tested your line to see if I could detect any potential faults.
The testing found no fault and everything appears to be up and running as expected, with the downstream sync speed coming into the property at 58.4Mbps, which is within your estimated speed range. One oddity that I did notice is that the connection seems to reset at 3 or 4AM every night and was wondering if this was being caused due to a device setup on your network? If you are experiencing any issues with the service, it's likely a symptom of these daily drops.

I can't connect to any services in the house, so interesting that the line reports ok... my only alternative is to ask a neighbour to cycle the power in the house to force a reconnect. Seems a bit drastic

Hi @Madnat,
Thanks for getting back to us. To clarify, is the issue you're experiencing occurring when you're in the property and trying to connect to the internet, or is the issue when you're outside of the property and you're attempting to remotely connect to the devices within the property?

I’ve had a neighbour reset the router via turning off power and back on again. It works again now.
There seems to be an occasional problem getting authorised access to the internet - as the connection is made - but no traffic goes out or comes in

Hi @Madnat,
I'm glad to hear a reboot has resolved the issue on this occasion. Have you noticed any kind of pattern when this problem occurs? For example, does it only happen at specific times, or are there any other devices on your network that could be performing actions that interfere with the Wi-Fi network?

Just to be clear - the issue is connectivity to the internet. WiFi and LAN all work fine - just can’t access internet from inside the property, and can’t access services in the property from the outside.
Rebooting the router forced a reconnect to the internet.

Hi @Madnat, thanks for the information.
I would advise getting in touch with us when this happens, whilst you are in the property so we can identify and then troubleshoot the issue.
Just to note, though we can't reboot your router remotely, we are able to perform a 'session kill' on our side drops the active session and then reconnects it.

I guess I have the right terminology now!
