It would be nice to have the ability to reboot the Firewalla from the MSP or User Internet Page. Remotely, I can see many times where an ISP or thier equipment goes out of wack and the quickest way to resolve it is to reboot our end and firewall. It could be that the Firewalla is in a place that is not easily accessible physically or via app (grain silo for example). Have the ability to reboot it remotely would be a lifesaver, literally for the poor guy who has to climb up that thing each time something goes out.

  The firewalla was designed so you don't have to reboot it ... but allowing a reboot may be useful for MSP, let me add it to our future list

  We have added smart plugs to our FW boxes for this reason.  +1 here.

  If you unplug your Firewalla w/ smart switch, how are you turning it back on?

  Good point. We have cellular (LTE) failover that the plugs connect to. It’s part of a larger contingency solution.
