There are few things in life more irritating than having your Internet go out. This is often caused by your router needing a reboot. Sadly, not all routers are created equal which complicates things a bit.

At my home for example, we have FIOS Internet. My connection from my ONT to my FIOS router is through coaxial (coax cable). Why does this matter? Because if I was connected to CAT6 from my ONT, I could use the router of my choosing. Sadly a coaxial connection doesn’t easily afford me this opportunity. So why don’t I just switch my FIOS over to CAT6 instead of using the coaxial cable? Because I have no interest in running the CAT6 throughout my home. This means I must get the most out of my ISP provided router as possible.
