Your router shouldn’t need to be reset so frequently. What do your children do! However, if you type in the ip address of your router into the address bar of a browser you will be taken to the router’s set up page (after being prompted for a user name and password - usually “admin” for user name and “password” or “admin” for password, without the quotes.) Somewhere on the left sidebar there will be a “Diagnostics” section. Click on this and you should find reboot or restart router at the bottom of this page.
