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...

I have several remotely accessed devices on the LAN and the only ones you have to do a path update for manually are the Foscams.thestoloffs wrote:
Here's my question:
Most routers I know for home usage have a 192.168.x.x address for their user interface web page. That's a locally assigned IP address, findable within your local LAN -- but NOT visible (i.e., DNS-identifiable) to the WAN side (i.e., the Internet).
Any suggestions?
That is not the address you would use to remotely access the unit.
The network side has a "real" address and that is the one that you would need.
And it would have to be capable of doing remote network access. And to be reliable, you would have to subscribe to a fixed address for the network side of the router.
