Abstract
A set-top box (STB) receives a router reboot or reset activation code generated by an Operations Support System (OSS) that manages a first network. The STB activates a router reboot or reset function based on the received activation code, and identifies, upon activation of the router reboot or reset function, a model of a router connected to the STB. The STB generates a router reboot or reset command based on the identified model of the router and sends the generated router reboot or reset command to the router to cause the router to perform a reboot or reset process.
