Force router reset while away
I have 2 Nest (brand) security cams in the S&B which are Wifi to my Linksys router WRT120N. This router has a bad habit of dropping the wifi connection every now and then, which means the cams go off...

The isp doesn't provide anything. The hardware is handled by the local power company. There's a box on the house full of Ethernet ports. The isp works with the power company for establishing connections.
Linksys calls their installation software LinksysSmartWiFi. I didn't think it was too smart...not for 2016. I guess routers are one piece of hardware that hasn't got to the plug-and-play stage. The part I get a kick out of is being told to turn something off for 2 minutes, then turn it on and wait 2 minutes. I tried to manually configure the new one, but I couldn't get far enough in the 'smart' setup to obtain the password.
My older modem doesn't seem to have a problem with it.
