You may be able to browse to the router's web page and find a clicable thingy there somewhere that does a reboot. I used to run that exact combination, but no longer have one around to look at, so I don't recall any details. or if you can run a cron job on it, you may be able to reboot that way. Also note another poster suggested another way to do it via cron.
