using cURL or wget, it’s easy to reboot a TP-Link router from a terminal or command line. Put it in a script and schedule it to run automatically if your router overheats or is flaky:
in OSX (using cURL):
curl --user username:password http://192.168.1.1/userRpm/SysRebootRpm.htm?Reboot=Reboot > /dev/null
If you have wget by default instead of cURL (i.e. most *nix):
wget -qO- --user=username --password=password http://192.168.1.1/userRpm/SysRebootRpm.htm?Reboot=Reboot > /dev/null
Replace username and password with the admin username and password of your router. Replace 192.168.1.1 with the IP address of your router.
If you have Windows, with neither of the above, and don’t want to download wget, try using bitsadmin to create a download job.
Is this method still working? None of my routers reboots using curl (Archer C2 and WDR3600)?
Save it out as a .vbs extension, and then you can double-click on it any time you want to reboot the router.
I have tried all the above mentioned suggestions including the Python script with my TP LINK TD-W9970 router but nothing is working. I simply cannot authenticate to the router using Curl, I get 403 errors or 500 errors.
When you say haywire what exactly do you mean? The reason I ask is because I had a script to do the reboot on a tp-link as well, but couldnt reboot it remotely because it went haywire
error mas
you can use command line (telnet or netcat) and make it into a bash
nc $IP $PORT <<END
YOUR PASSWORD
system reboot
exit
