Is it possible to reboot my router remotely

Wilmslow-Bridge — Sat, 01 Nov 2025 17:28:18 GMT

My 3 cctv cameras have simultaneously stopped connecting. I need to check my broadband and reboot my router remotely, if possible. Can this be done and any other suggestions would be welcome.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

@Wilmslow-Bridge what I have done is connect a mesh system to my hub.

You could do the same by turning off the WiFi on the Sky hub and running a mesh system in Access Point mode (AP). The mesh network would need to be set up to allow remote access.

The screen shot below from my phone was taken while I was in USA. My spouse commented that she could not close her WiFi enabled blinds. I rebooted the network when it was convenient for her.

The Sky hub could be left in place to assign the IP addresses to your devices and a mesh system can deal with the WiFi around your home.

I use a Zyxel DX3301 as my hub/router (£10 courtesy of eBay) and is the "Internet" in the screenshot. It has been very reliable and fast and is just left alone.
