I have a belkin cable router and use its web interface to control it, restart etc. Is there any way to send commands direct to routers without going through the web interface?

If there is a serial/par connection you can use hyperterminal.. nexland/symantec use this when the web interface dos'nt work= alot!!

Why can't you use the web interface??
