Does anyone know what the magic URL is for rebooting a WebSTAR DPC2100R2 with curl? I used to have a SurfBoard, and the curl command:

curl http://192.168.100.1/reset.htm?reset_modem=Restart%20Cable%20Modem

Would reset the modem. Sure, I can go power cycle it manually, but it's in the basement and I'm lazy :-).

I did find out the URL to elevate the access permission, but nothing about rebooting/resetting yet.

I have a Linksys BEFCMU10 cablemodem and a WRT54GL router with Tomato 1.27 firmware on Cox cable.

I may be crazy here, but I seem to recall a conversation in the past stating that it was possible to offload some of the operations taken by one's cable modem to one's router. The logic was that since the cable modem is often equipped with a cheaper processor as it is supplied by your provider, that… >>> More

A little off the wall perhaps, but ... I have a cable modem and a router for a wireless home network. Is it a good or a bad idea to turn it off at night and during the day when we're all at work or school? Or should I leave it on 24/7. I was thinking that leaving it on constantly makes me more vulnerable… >>> More
