WRT54GL w/ DD-WRT firmware has a auto-reboot function in it :-)

Likewise less expensive Buffalo wireless router with DD-WRT.

Now that I have a scheduled reboot, I don't need it. Sigh.

See:
<http://www.informatione.gmxhome.de/DDWRT/Standard/V23final/Alive.html>
for the available "keep alive" settings. Note that for the scheduled
reboot to work, the "cron" scheduler needs to be enabled. Also, NTP
(network time protocol) should be configured, hopefully with the
correct time zones and daylight savings times, to insure that it
actually happens at the correct times.
