my wifi router locks up a lot physically removing power for a few seconds works every time when it locks up I can't log into it with a browser over wifi after a physical reboot I can log into it with a browser over wifi just wondering if there is a way to reboot a router from the command line
Does it have an ssh server?
Used routers are cheap like borscht. You could get one off eBay or someplace for very short money and reflash it with OpenWRT, for instance.

Could you provide the manufacturer, model number, and firmware version? Not all wireless routers are made the same.
I've seen lockup problems from:
CLI (command line interface) instructions vary from router to router. For example, the command on a Sonicwall is simply "restart". On Ubiquiti, it's "reboot now". For some Cisco, it's "reload". As I mentioned, it would help if you provided the maker and model number of your wireless router.

In addition to Jeff Lieberman's list, look up the router and find out if there's a firmware update. That smooths out a LOT of wrinkles (and might unload a few types of malware, as well).
