If I used this for a wireless modem, would I be able to reset it from my smartphone if that same modem is down?

only if you have it on a power switch controlled by another device. AKA I Control mine for resets from a Micasa Vera 3 zave controller with its own modem. Since outlets cannot be controlled via internet after the modem is turned off you would have an issue. Please note in 2 years I have NOT had to execute a reset.

My configuration relies on the local wifi and I have not opened a port for it to control from the internet. I can switch the plug on and off using my iPhone as long as my iPhone is on the same wifi as the Insteaon controller. I hope that makes sense; remember that Insteaon requires a controller so the iPhone cans send on/off etc signals to an insteaon device.

Bryan, I'm not an expert at any of this. Only once did I have any problem of this type. It came aboutafter I had re-set my wieless modem. I un plugged my radio for awhile and went back to defaultsettings . It found the signal and no problems since. I would check into the signal you are getting. ( if wireless) I'm still very pleased with this radio. It appears you are getting about the same advice Ted

I am not sure I have mine hooked up to an net modem. You could always buy it if the connections are the same and if it does not work return it. Sorry!

I believe the time would depend primarily on the load.Mine kept a modem and router up for over two hours (when the power returned).

as long as your Cyberstat is connected to a nearby wi-fi router, YES. If you loose electricity while away, chances are you will need to re-connect the Cyberstat to the wireless router(only way Cyberstat connects) again while at the location to get things working again. Placing the Cyberstat within 20 feet of the wi-fi router really helps in this regard.

Yes, I have two units, one for the wireless phone and one for my modem/router combo. Buyer beware, the unit has been out of production for 10 years, I had to change the batteries on both units before they would work.

I also have this question. I'd like to know if this unit can receive FM radio if my Internet connection goes down.

Assuming you have a modem/router and not just a modem, it should work fine.

I don't think so. It will reset itself during a power failure (or being unplugged) back to the state it was in when it lost power.

I would suggest moving the modem to another room to get it on a different circuit. That's the cheapest way to fix this problem confidently.

Might be able to do that, I returned the unit because it was not wireless, never used it.

I do not know. But had wireless router hooked up, service of router worked fine, it was not a wireless/router service. i checked my same phone with a frequency counter, but range of counter went to 3 gigs so i dont know range. omly thing i can think of rite now is to refresh. or better is to disconnect power from modem/router for 1 minute, reconnect, and try again. good luck!

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.

Of course. You can optionally disable most all modems or routers and hang another device off if it. I use an Apple Airpirt Extreme for my wireless.

Dave. Thanks for your input. It was thorough and cogent. I will follow your advice. I do have a stand alone Motorola modem supplied by ATT. i will still need the connection to my computer. Do I get a splitter so that I can have an output to both the computer and the wi-fi roouter?

The only way I know is to unplug the unit and check that the phone and modem continue working.

If I understand your question, no. 1) This is a dimmer, designed for dimmable devices such as lights. It could very well fry the power supply in your modem. 2) If you are trying to power cycle a down modem while you are away, you will have no way to get to your device if your internet connection is down. A solution might involve an intelligent controller such as an ISY994 and an ApplianceLinc. You could have a program that periodically pinged an outside address and turned the ApplianceLinc off and then on if the site is unreachable.
