Abstract
A network watchdog and reset device determines that a signal into a modem device has been interrupted. In response to determining that the signal into the modem device has been restored, the device transmits control signals that cause power to the modem device to be cycled. In response to determining that the modem device is outputting data, the device transmits control signals that cause power to a router device to be cycled. In response to determining that the router device is outputting data, the device transmits control signals that cause power to a wireless access point device to be cycled. In response to determining that the wireless access point device is outputting data, the device transmits control signals that cause power to a peripheral device such as a security camera to be cycled.
