NetRouser 2 makes it easy to manually activate, shutdown or reboot one or more computers. You can also automate this process using the flexible and powerful scheduling options. You can schedule computers to be activated, shutdown or rebooted at any given time on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

NetRouser 2 ships with a Windows® NT® service module, which executes scheduled activations in the background. The service's startup type can be set via the NetRouser options or using the Windows® Services manager.

To help you troubleshoot network problems, NetRouser 2 includes two built-in network diagnostic tools: Ping and Traceroute. These tools are essential for troubleshooting network connectivity and reachability.
