THis modem has to be in debug mode to login thru telnet and enter pass the reboot command.
I found a way to restart it in some other forum. It works fine. Will share it here.
1. Download CURL (
cURL - Download - 7.18.2 - 1.2mb) and extract it a folder (ex: C:\BSNL). Scroll down and go to Win32-Generic section and download it.
**CURL is used to enable TELNET service by passing the
router credentials along with the debugging URL.
2. Create a file called
Netgear.txt and put it in the same folder as CURL(c:\BSNL). This file should contain the IP Address of your Netgear device (ex: 192.168.0.1) and nothing else.
3. Create a file called netgear.vbs using Notepad and put the following code in it:
'----BEGINNING-OF-SCRIPT-----
'Created for
MAC filtering maintenance
'opens a TELNET session to all AP's
On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."
filespec="C:\BSNL\netgear.txt" 'data file with IP addresses
Dim objFSO, a, s, WshShell, Windir, i, objWMIService
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
s = objFS
😵pentextfile(filespec,1,true).ReadAll
a = Split(s,vbCrLf)
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WinDir = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%WinDir%")
For i=0 to UBound(a)
If Trim(a(i))"" Then
'Launch telnet session from the command line
WshShell.Run "telnet " & a(i)
'Wait until the application has loaded
WScript.Sleep 300
Set ColProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process",,48)
For Each Process in ColProcesses
If Process.Name = "Telnet " & a(i) Then
WshShell.AppActivate Process.Name
End If
Next
wscript.sleep 200
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
wscript.sleep 200
WshShell.SendKeys "reboot"
wscript.sleep 200
WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
wscript.sleep 200
End If
Next
'----END-OF-SCRIPT-----
4. Create a batchfile using notepad called REBOOT.BAT with the code given below and put it in C:\BSNL.
cd C:\BSNL\
C:\BSNL\curl.exe --basic --user admin: password --url "http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?todo=debug"
cd C:\BSNL
C:\BSNL\curl.exe --basic --user admin: password --url "http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?todo=debug"
cd C:\BSNL
netgear.vbs
NOTE: Remove space in admin:" "password. I tried without a space. But it gives a smiley. By default username is admin and password is password. You might have to change this if yours is different
5. Use System Scheduler to run REBOOT.BAT at 2:05 am as well as 7:50 am.
