[Wirelessdriver-support] Cable modems and wireless routers

[Robert B. P. <rbp...@ad...>]

This isn't exactly in this group's area, but I am hoping somebody might=20=

have a lead.  If my cable modem goes down, which it does from=20
time-to-time, when it comes up, I have to reset my router (NetGear=20
MR814 wireless device) by powering it down and back up.  This would be=20=

a minor inconvenience if it weren't for the fact the modem and the=20
router are in the attic, and I am not.

I asked NetGear if there was a way their device could "sense" that the=20=

line was down and do the right thing when it came back up.  They said=20
no.  I imagine this must be a common problem and frustration,=20
especially for people using wireless ethernet cards.  Does anybody know=20=

of a solution?
