Reboot My OpenWRT Router

Now you can easily reboot your OpenWRT (www.openwrt.org) router, with one button press on your mobile device, or every night at a time of your choosing. This is particularly useful if your router or access point has flaky wifi or intermittent low speed, and needs a reboot every so often.

How it works:

Step 1. Perform a simple, one-time setup to connect to your router. All you need is the user name (normally 'root') and password for your router.

Step 2. Set the time that you want your router to regularly reboot (e.g. once a week at 2am), or press the "Reboot Router Now" button.

This app is also useful if you "administer" someone else's home network. Install this app on their mobile device and set the nightly reboot time. This will help to keep their router running smoothly. Or they can simply press one button to reboot their router without calling you!

The app currently supports the following OpenWRT variants (running on various hardware platforms such as Linksys, D-Link, TP-Link etc). Don't worry if you don't see your OpenWRT version in the list - just download the app and give it a try. If it doesn't recognize your router, it will send us the router details and we will add support as quickly as we can.
