If you have a large wireless network infrastructure, which consist of many Access point and Wi-Fi router. And at some cases, you need to safely reboot all access point. It could be very annoying if you have to login to each AP/Router and restart them individually one by one.

Why bother doing all those work manually when you could write a code to do it automatically?

Well, luckily in my cases, all of the access point have the same brand. it's TP-Link. After some research, i found a way to reboot those brand's access point and router by using URL. Then i wrote this PHP script to get the job done.

In my infrastructure, i made all access point and router have different IP sub from DHCP-ed network. All have same username and password, all have the same method of authentication (using http auth). This script written in PHP, running in terminal/console. So it's very handy when it comes to automation. Just add it to cron and voila. Don't forget to make it executable "chmod 777" if you want to run it under linux and make sure you have php5-cli installed.

Here i share the script i wrote, you can customize it to suit your infrastructure, be creative.
