    Abstract: A power cycler apparatus monitors a computer network for internet connectivity and cycles the power to connected networking devices when a loss of internet connectivity is detected. The power cycler may comprise remote power switches for resetting power to networking devices in remote locations. The power cycler may comprise a manual reset button for manually triggering a power reset cycle, which may be connected via a wired or wireless connection. The power cycler may restore power to the power outputs in a staggered fashion to allow each connected network device time to initialize before the next network device is powered on. The power cycler may feature a battery backup or uninterruptible power supply.
