Pepwave Surf SOHO MK3 watchdog

If you happen to have a Pepwave Surf SOHO MK3 router and you are having problems with the stability of the connection, then there is a good chance you might be looking into a new device. In the eventuality that you are not considering switching manufacturers, then maybe you are looking for a way to reboot the router automatically.

Pepwave Surf SOHO MK3 watchdog is a tool designed to automatically reboot Pepwave Surf SOHO MK3 routers whenever they lose connection. According to the developer, the idea behind the utility is to monitor your Internet connection by pinging three different providers. In case all ping attempts fail, then the app proceeds to reboot the device.

Setting up the program can be slightly tricky for less tech-savvy users, meaning that you need to access the config file and add the router password there first. At the same time, you need to run the InstallPlink.bat file included in the archive to the System32 directory to enable access. It is worth mentioning that you can configure additional settings within the RR.exe.config file using your default text editor. More exactly, you can set a daily reboot at a precise hour and minute, set the ping interval in milliseconds or add the router IP and port, as the password is mandatory as previously mentioned.
