Mechanical reboot of MeshAP

One of the greatest things about open source is everyone has a solution. Recently a posted a question on a Locustworld's email list and received a number of great response.

I am having a problem with a few of my nodes. They tend to lock or have a kernel panic. A hard boot is required. I have been pushing for years to have reboot command placed in WIANA that would automatically reboot the node on a timed basis. A smart guy from Germany indicated to get a electronic or mechanical timer that would hard boot the system everyday. Now this will bring wear and tear on the power supply but the idea is actually pretty smart.

If you set up your mesh to have your signal overlap, then a reboot of any node will not stop the coverage of the signal. Since the design of the mesh network is intended to be fully redundant. Having nodes rebooting at intervals makes a lot of sense.

I know that most of my mesh is covered with at least two nodes covering every signal. I going to try it and verify this claim.
