Title: Problem Solved
Review: I wasn’t sure if I needed a new router but I was rebooting once or twice every day. This unit has solved my problem and for some reason reboots have become rare. I know because my alarm system notifies my phone when it loses connection and I haven’t been getting notifications. Well worth the price and simple to install.

Title: Odd device but very useful
Review: My internet like most others seemed to get confused and would necessitate a trip to the basement to reboot the router. Not a big deal but it usually happened when we were busy with a movie or doing our bills and such on the computer. This device, which I found with some research solves that problem. This device allows me to set times for the router to reboot automatically and more than that I can do it remotely from my phone and it has two outlets so I can control another device from the other outlet, using their app. Setup up requires some patience but of all the devices I looked at this one is the one I would recommend..

Title: Settings survive complete power failure
Review: I got tired of asking neighbors to troubleshoot the network in a vacation home while I am away and was looking for a device that could reset the world when power went out (frequent occurrence), router hangs (less frequent but equally annoying) or the modem drops ( never trust the ISP). This device seemed to fit the bill.Another review suggested that complete power failure to the device would reset it to factory defaults. I have not observed that to be the case (yet). I have only had it for a few days and have been beating on it to test it out. So far it has functioned as designed.I was stumped by trying to find the "Add Device" option in the Cloud4UIS desktop app and finally gave up and used the ezDevice mobile app. Once I did that, it was easy to use on both desktop and mobile.I ultimately discovered that the "add device" is buried in a submenu of the three dot icon in the upper right corner and is activated by pressing a somewhat inscrutable icon. Not very user friendly UI for that function.The instructions were somewhat terse and required some careful reading to understand the exact steps to take and what the options mean. Having the context pop-up help in the web interface was useful to decode the configuration options.I was able to add the device bot to my skype contact list and was impressed by the functions available. I'm not sure I will use it but it is interesting.Since the location is behind a DDNS IP address, I tried to configure the DDNS service for iCV99. I'm not sure if it actually was successful. The instructions said it required configuring port forwarding on the main router, opening up http (port 80) and presumably directing it to the MSN switch although there were no specific instructions to that effect. The notification logs do not show any DDNS status for the iCV99 service.I will be doing more testing and will update with any issues that come up.I gave it four stars because of the instruction difficulty, the poor layout of some of the tools and because I was unable to get the ddns settings to work.Bottom line though, it seems to do what I need it to do.

Title: Gets the job done for remote resets even after power outage
Review: I was hesitant because of the reviewers who had issues with this unit after power outages. It works fine for me. If internet is lost it cycles the power. Or you can access remotely, locally, or manually to reset power. after power failure the unit boots right back to the state it was in when power dropped. Decent configurability as far as which IP's it pings and other things like delays etc. manufacturer provides a free cloud service for remote access to the unit. instructions say that it can be controlled by google hangouts messaging . . . but hangouts is being replaced by something else so Im not sure it that functionality is useable anymore. good value for the money overall. I just need to cycle power remotely when things start getting squirrely and it certainly does a good job at that so far. also like the fact that if power drops it comes back on just the way it was, and will even reset the power again if it cant get an internet connection (eg failed router boot). Not all that hard to set up even considering the instructions are sparse to say the least.

Title: Works as advertised - but a fatal flaw
Review: I have a home that is in a remote location and is unattended for long periods of time. I use internet based security and home automation so this seemed ideal for those times when the ISP says "just unplug the modem and plug it back in to reboot it." Yeah, that's a thing when you are hundreds of miles away.So, I set this up, got the mobile app to work and then the web based app. It's not for a newbie, but if you follow directions it isn't that hard to do. I set it up so it would start my modem and after 30 seconds it would start the router, a sequence which works well. Then I set about testing it. The unit seemed to work just fine, resetting and sequencing the modem and router as I had hoped. I could control the outlets fine, no problem. When I unplugged the ethernet cable the unit could no longer sense internet activity and it proceeded to reset as advertised. Nice.BUT I then moved to power failure testing, and the unit failed miserably. When I cut power to the unit, everything went down as expected. But when power came up the unit booted up but did not sequence the other power ups properly (everything turned on at the same time) and since it didn't properly start the modem and router it did not go into a mode where I could control it remotely. Since remote operation and automatic failure recovery was the whole point of having this unit, I'm returning it. Nice idea, I just wonder why it won't recover properly from a power failure - that's a huge flaw.

Review: I have been with my ISP for ages never had an issue but since month and a half my internet drops randomly. This Fixes it. If the internet is down more than a min ( it pings multiple websites ) and I also added my ISPs local DNS servers, It power cycles the modem. Problem fixed : ) and it sends me a email telling me that it did that.

Review: Impossible to use the App when internet IP is dynamic...so was useless at the cottage. It just won't connect. This is where I wanted to use it to reboot my modem and router and where outages often occur.Works well in the city where the connection is PPPoE. But haven't had modem/router problems in the past decade, so switch is not as useful here.
