TBH you probably need a better WiFi router, not some external device that turns it off and on for you... Can you not at least schedule reboots of your current r

  The router is provided by the landlord, who already called out the service people from Chunghwa Telecom to look at it. They turned it off and on again, and it worked (of course). So they refused to replace it. And I can't schedule reboots, because it usually fails a few minutes after I start using it when I return to my house (not at a consistent time every day).

    Ah that's a bummer. It's a modem/router-combo then. I've never had good experiences with the ISP provided ones...

    You should be able to buy your own wifi router and plug it into your router/modem combo. Ideally, you'd then run the combo in bridge mode, but it should work regardless.

      should and can, are not the same thing.

        Why in the world would is that something you shouldn't do?

  >you probably need a better WiFi router. That's the right answer. Last time I rebooted a router or AP: never. Unless there's a power failure they run years on end without intervention (DD-WRT on a Buffalo AP, DD-WRT on Netgear WNR3500's, and a number of managed HP MSM422 & Ubiquiti APs if you are curious).
