How to Restart Router Remotely from your PC

In this guide, we will show you the steps to remotely restart your router using your PC. There could be quite a few roadblocks involved when your internet connection faces a few hiccups. These include the likes of issues from the ISP end, firewall being over-protective in nature, incorrect proxy setup, issues with DNS address, outdated network drivers, or just your router not working along the expected lines. To troubleshoot these issues, your first course of action should be to restart the router and your PC.

Talking about the former one, you need to long-press the power key on the router to turn it off. Then wait for a few seconds and again press the Power key to turn it on. However, this calls for a lot of manual efforts [atleast in my dictionary!]. And if the power key is damaged, then you will have to take the extreme route of unplugging it from the socket. Well, it turns out you could skip this lengthy process and remotely restart your router using your PC itself. Let’s check out how this could be carried out.
