MTNL Broadband: Schedule Internet connection

" All credit to the person who uploaded this piece of software somewhere on the internet."

This is probably the simplest procedure I've seen to time my downloads. You don't have to mess around with any settings in the router and you don't need any scripting knowledge.

Here's what you require


[*]D-Link DSL-502T
[*]You should have your DSL setup as PPOE (the STANDARD way)
[*]Task scheduling software (Google it, there are many)
[/list]Here's how you go about it...


[*]Download the file (rebootmodem.exe). This is nothing but the reboot script neatly packaged as an executable. Don't ask me how, I did not create it.
[*]For a dry run, double click on the rebootmodem.exe and watch it restart your modem. You'll be back online in ~ 60 seconds. Sounds Simple huh!
[*]Try not to fidget around when it is doing its thing. Just watch.
[*]Setup your task scheduling software to run rebootmodem.exe at any time you wish. e.g. On my pc, it runs at 12.05 am and at 7.55 am. Well between the downloading window.
[*]Sleep in peace.
