Hi folks! After installing the new [Speedtest.net](http://Speedtest.net) app, I was thinking about the various possibilities it can bring us. As a Dutchie I’m using a Ziggo (ISP) router which tempts to fail pretty often, resulting in extremely low download and upload speeds. As this is something the Speedtest could notice, I was wondering how easy it would be to restart the router by sending a command to the router. Sure, I could use a Fibaro wallplug to turn off and on the router power, but that would cost me €60 and feels a bit excessive. The Ziggo router webpage offers a reboot process, but not sure if this can be triggered easy. Have one of you tried this before? Any other suggestions? 😀 Regards, Rick ---

Plz keep it in English. There is a lot of non-English topics on the forums these days. ---

Use a KUKA device or the ones from the Action (3pc for 10euro). €3,33 to solve your internet issues, coowl! But i am interested in a ‘direct link’ too tho. Maybe the url can get extracted and put credentials into and do a straight reset in the modem? Would be nice… 🙂 ---

Sure! KAKU devices could work, but triggering by URL just feels… cleaner? I’ll see if triggering the URL will do the job, but since you need to login, I doubt it. ---

Personally I think there may be more router apps with functionality like this and network usage logging! ---

Not for the ziggo router, but my netgear router app can directly reboot the router from a flow. Also it monitors up/down speed. I now have the netgear behind the kpn fiber router, but I used it for many years behind the ziggo router. The provider routers usually s\*ck, and cannot be fully controlled by the user. By doing all my lan routing and wifi stuff in netgear I have full control, and could very easily switch provider without days of reconfiguring the router. It basically took me 15 minutes to switch from ziggo to kpn. Just my 2 cents… ---

Imagine the router has issues and lost connection (LAN+WAN)… Sometimes happens here. All your smart devices will be hard to control, especially if you aren’t home. I put a GSM switch on my main router (Aliexpress, very affordable), prepaid SIM card… Works every time! ---

> [@Gruijter](#): > > It basically took me 15 minutes to switch from ziggo to kpn. Same here! I have a new Ziggo router and set it to operate in bridge mode. Behind there is a Nighthawk with al my settings. Switching was done in a couple of minutes.
