Well Jim, that's going to be a rather complex to answer.  But I
will try to make it as simple possible.

I have a customer that I installed Wifi point in a horse barn that is
about 750 feet from the house where the Modem/Router is located.  In
between there are 2 Wireless dishes to connect the barn to a pole on
a hill above another barn.  Then they wanted to have cameras installed
and have the ability to view from Florida.

What happens from time to time (once a month or two) is that the WiFi
point, Data Switches, and other devices in between here and there lock
up and need to be power cycled.  One is located in a Tobacco Barn and
another in the attic of the horse barn.  So when something locks up
someone needs to go to specific (maybe) point and unplug/wait/plug back
in and restart to get stuff working again and is it supposed to do.

Now, with these timers (3 ea) installed every night at 2:28am the power
is disconnected.  Then at 2:30am power is then reapplied and stuff
restarts and HOPEFULLY reconnects the links.  This is set to do this
every day at the same time.

Only time will tell if it is effective.

I hope I typed that so it was easy to follow as well as to give
the readers some ideas to apply for future use.
