A method comprising: determining that a signal into a modem device has been interrupted; after determining that the signal into the modem device has been interrupted, determining that the signal into the modem device has been restored; in response to determining that the signal into the modem device has been restored, transmitting a first control signal and then transmitting a second control signal, the first control signal causing power to not be supplied to the modem device and the second control signal causing power to be supplied to the modem device; a first predetermined delay period after the transmitting of the second control signal, determining whether the modem device is outputting data; in response to determining that the modem device is outputting data, transmitting a third control signal and then transmitting a fourth control signal, the third control signal causing power to not be supplied to a router device that is coupled to the modem device and the fourth control signal causing power to be supplied to the router device; a second predetermined delay period after the transmitting of the fourth control signal, determining whether the router device is outputting data; and in response to determining that the router device is outputting data, transmitting a fifth control signal and then transmitting a sixth control, the fifth control signal causing power to not be supplied to a wireless access point device that is coupled to the router device and the sixth control signal causing power to be supplied to the wireless access point device; a third predetermined delay period after the transmitting of the sixth control signal, determining whether the wireless access point device is outputting data; in response to determining that the wireless access point device is outputting data, transmitting a seventh control signal and then transmitting an eighth control signal, the seventh control signal causing power to not be supplied to a peripheral device communicatively coupled to the modem and the eighth control signal causing power to be supplied to the peripheral device; and a fourth predetermined delay period after the transmitting of the eighth control signal, determining whether the peripheral device is outputting data. determining that a signal into a modem device has been interrupted; after determining that the signal into the modem device has been interrupted, determining that the signal into the modem device has been restored; in response to determining that the signal into the modem device has been restored, transmitting a first control signal and then transmitting a second control signal, the first control signal causing power to not be supplied to the modem device and the second control signal causing power to be supplied to the modem device; a first predetermined delay period after the transmitting of the second control signal, determining whether the modem device is outputting data; in response to determining that the modem device is outputting data, transmitting a third control signal and then transmitting a fourth control signal, the third control signal causing power to not be supplied to a router device that is coupled to the modem device and the fourth control signal causing power to be supplied to the router device; a second predetermined delay period after the transmitting of the fourth control signal, determining whether the router device is outputting data; and in response to determining that the router device is outputting data, transmitting a fifth control signal and then transmitting a sixth control, the fifth control signal causing power to not be supplied to a wireless access point device that is coupled to the router device and the sixth control signal causing power to be supplied to the wireless access point device; a third predetermined delay period after the transmitting of the sixth control signal, determining whether the wireless access point device is outputting data; in response to determining that the wireless access point device is outputting data, transmitting a seventh control signal and then transmitting an eighth control signal, the seventh control signal causing power to not be supplied to a peripheral device communicatively coupled to the modem and the eighth control signal causing power to be supplied to the peripheral device; and a fourth predetermined delay period after the transmitting of the eighth control signal, determining whether the peripheral device is outputting data.
