Description - copied here for convenience:
All the issues associated with the Internet being down can be solved by
power cycling the modem and router. But that can be hard to do! NetReset
resolves network issues by offering sequential power cycling. This means
that when the modem and router are plugged into the device, they are
powered up at different times. The modem is powered up first, then a minute
later, the router is powered up. This rebooting will occur at initial
setup, every 24 hours and after a power failure. Do you have a modem/router
combo? No problem! NetReset will also power cycle the modem/router combo.

Resetting allows equipment to auto-correct issues
I got one of these in my effort to make my self a little more redundant to my parental tech-support role, a little more sophisticated, tests up-through-layer-3 in unexplained ways which I haven’t yet bothered to pcap.
Depending on its definition of "lose contact with the Interent", that could
result in interesting failure modes - everything from hundreds of them bouncing
boxes if an upstream router has a BGP flap, to thousands of them DDoS'ing
the test point, and then bouncing boxes... It probably also interacts
badly with power monitoring hardware/software that labels too many power
"faults" in a period of time as a danger situation and holds off on bringing
boxes back online until stability is restored....
etc...

Resetting allows equipment to auto-correct issues
Recalls to mind years ago in the Toll testroom where I work, the evenings equipment man (charged with and assigned to the task of repairing equipment that had been "patched out" by the day shift) would, when he arrived for work each day, retrieve the piece of 2 X 4 from its hiding place and whack each bay of relay-rich equipment as he walked in the area.
Then, after some coffee and a cigarette, he would go through the trouble-ticket collection, retest the item, mark the ticket "NTF" and proceed to the next item.
Uggghhh. I've always hated this 'reboot, see if it fixes it' methodology. If the CPEs can't recover from error conditions correctly, they shouldn't be used. I blame Microsoft for making this concept acceptable. LOL.
Excellent! With any luck, it would be at the exact same time for all
users. I was just thinking the other day, "You know, my RADIUS servers
just dont get enough spike load..."
Every time I have to ring about my home internet the first think they ask
be to do is reboot the modem and then connect via cable and check the link
light is green.
Had to fight with them before since the *FRITZ!**Box* they supplied did
not have network link LEDs. Also I know it was a PPPoE auth issue looking
at the pcap from the router.
Still did not stop them from insisting it was a modem issues and sent me
out 3 replacements.
Any trouble case that does NOT have the word "replaced", "repaired", or "patched", followed with a specific, identifiable device name was not "closed". It is still an open, unsolved case.
