My PG2400P kept dropping its link every few days and the only fix was a manual power cycle. The web GUI has a soft reboot button but no API or SSH, so I captured the request flow with Wireshark, figured out the MD5 challenge-response auth, and wrote a Python script that does the same thing. Running it on a cron now and the dropouts haven't been an issue since.
Full write-up with the auth flow and the script: https://geekho.me/posts/tp-link-pg2400p-reboot-script/
Curious if anyone else has hit the same dropouts on this model, or if there's a firmware fix I missed.
