If you remotely administer a Verizon Home MiFi, and need to reboot it, there is a way without having to factory default the modem (the only method I was given by Verizon after working with multiple Tier 1 and Tier 2 technicians on rolling out nearly 60 of these devices).
- Sign into the web console of the MiFi with the administrator password
- change the url to http://192.168.1.1/restarting
- wait for the device to reboot
