Thankyou!  :-)

I was seeking for a similar thing.

My use case is that my router locks hard randomly. Several times a day,
or once per month. So I could ping it from a computer, and if no
response, then power cycle it.

The question then is if I can pulse the power off, not permanently. That
it automatically returns to power on state, or my router will never
power on again.

Alternatively, I will have to add an Ethernet switch to the combo, so
that I keep control of the power strip even if the router power is off.



On Amazon Spain it is 65.50€, and there are other variations; for
instance, there is another for WLAN.
