netgear-ex8000-restart

Restart your Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band Range Extender directly with one command.

More than often (at least for mine), the extender is unstable and has to be restarted to temporarily fix any connectivity or speed issue. Restarting the extender requires the user to manually login to the extender in a browser and go through multiple pages until you reach the restart button. Instead of doing this manually (which gets old real quick), this program will restart the extender without needing to go on the browser.
