OnHub wifi speed issues require a restart

TomH

So a little about my setup.  I have 3 OnHubs, 2 TPLink, one Asus.  I have 4 Google wifi pucks.  I've divided the pucks and OnHubs into separate networks.  The pucks now run all my lights, speakers etc.  Props to Google for the ease of use for two networks and still properly turning off/on the correct lights.

My OnHub network is just for devices so there is zero clutter on that network.  This is where my problem lies.  I expect speeds of around 500 mbps wireless and I can achieve that by hard wiring the OnHubs to each other in a daisy chain.  Unfortunately the next day only the primary OnHub will give that speed.  I have to go into the app and restart each node and then they pick back up to ~500 mbps.

Really all I want is an automated way to restart the nodes each day.  I don't really care about what is causing the issue, maybe I'll get into that in years to come.  

Things I have already tried:
1. An electrical timer to reset their power each night.  I kill power for 30 minutes at 3:00 am.  This doesn't help.  I'm still stuck with the slow wifi of ~ 100 mbps when I wake up.  Only a software reset seems to cure it.
2. Curl.  I've tried the command curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://<MYOnHubIP:Port>/setup/reboot -d '{"params":"now"}' -X POST.  I just get a refused back from the device.  I use curl often so I'm pretty sure I have the syntax right.
3. Searching for any way to restart the nodes on a schedule.  Notice the difference between pausing the wifi on a schedule and restarting the nodes on a schedule.

My next step is to build a screen scraping bot to open google home and find the options to restart the wifi point.  I'm capable of this but it seems ridiculous.  Can anyone help?

Hey, TomH.
Sorry for the late response here and for the frustration you've had with your WiFi setup, but I wanted to check in to see if you were still having this issue and to see if you have done any additional troubleshooting from what you already mentioned so far. If you still need help, let me know and I'll be happy to work on this with you.
Thanks.
