My Obi200 normally works fine, but seems to need a reboot every few weeks when GV stops ringing.
The device is physically located is a hard-to-reach space. Is it possible to force a reboot via obitalk.com?
I can't find the option.
Also I can't easily connect to its direct IP address, because it sits on a different subnet from the rest of my home network.
Thanks.
Use Expert mode on the portal. The bottom of every page has a 'Submit' button. Just click that, OK the confirmation and the device will reboot.
Another way to re-boot is to dial ***9 then 1 to confirm.
To access the OBi200 you need to do port forwarding in the secondary router. The OBi200 defaults to port 80 for Web access. I assume your secondary router also is using port 80, so you need to use a different port to log into the OBi200. The following example uses port 800.
Example:
Main router: 192.168.1.1
Secondary router's address on main router: 192.168.1.50
When the secondary router is connected to the main router, an IP address will be assigned to the router within the main subnet.
Secondary router 192.168.2.1
OBi200: 192.168.2.100
Port Forward: port 800 to 192.168.2.100 at port 80
Log into OBi200:
http://192.168.1.50:800
If your router doesn't have the option to port forward to a different port, you need to change the port on the OBi200.
System Management -> Device Admin -> Port: 800
Port Forward: port 800 to 192.168.2.100
Login: http://192.168.1.50:800

Can't the OP just create a static route in the primary router pointing to the secondary router/subnet the OBi is on? I'm unclear why port forwarding is necessary in this scenario.
Is there a valid reason why the OBi200 is on a different subnet?
Probably to isolate it from the rest of the network, qos, etc. I have ours on a different vlan for these reasons. Although, since switching to fiber qos is no longer much of a concern. There's enough bw for several thousand concurrent channels.

Thank you for the info. I never played with advanced routing.
If your router supports it, you can use a static route to access the 2nd subnet.
Here are the instructions for a DD-WRT router:

The Gateway is the IP address the main router assigns to the 2nd router.

I do not see any Submit buttons?

Are you sure you are in Expert mode?
First select
OBi Expert ConfigurationSecond select
Enter OBi Expert
As they are two different devices/IP's, you don't need to use a different port at all. Port 80 will be just fine.

Yes, you can force a reboot of your Obi200 device using the Obitalk.com portal.
To do this, log in to your Obitalk account and go to the "Device List" section. Find the Obi200 device in the list and click on it to access the device's settings. On the device's page, you should see a "Reboot" button. Click on it to initiate a reboot of the device.
