Reboot router/switch remotly

Not Eligible For Stars

I'm in a pinch here. Our landlord is on vacation and the modem/router/switch (unknown gear) is acting up and located upstairs in his part of the house.

This experience have mede me rethink my choices in life, like choosing streaming over physical media...

 

Is there a way to restart it, like a command to run, so it reboots? I want to turn it of and on again. I have the option of playing a round of roulette by flipping fuses at the street fusebox… but imo that is taking it a little far.

Starting to get desperate tho, feels like I'm living in the woods of a undeveloped country. 

 

I'm logge into the wifi, so thats all I have to work with. Got a not completed ethernet cable I can try get working if it makes access easier.

 

When trying to run adresses in the browser I sometimes get redirected to the address below, so It's some asus router and probably a ZyXEL P2812ac combo unit.

Wise tips appreciated while I detox.

First open command prompt on windows and type ipconfig to discover the router's IP address (gateway) and access it on your browser. It's possible that it does have a restart button on this page

@IgorM

Didn't work.

@Dat--Boi

The lack of access is the problem, probably noting wrong with the router/modem itself.

 

I btw read you guys answers immediately, just forgot to reply.

Internett is still down… the ISP customer support will just ask me to turn it off and on again, so I wont even bother calling them.

 

I called the guys who control the smart meters in my area, they would not do it cuz of rules. Got a tip to call their under division, but had to do it in their opening hours which i missed.

@IgorM Mmm, kinda and kinda not.

 

My fusebox in the basement dont affect 2.floor where the gear is located.

The street fusebox tho, opens with a female-triangle key and probably contains trays with NH-fuses.
