Automating Router

Hello Guyz
I have a intenet plan which is capped by bandwidth, however there is no charges on bandwidth used between 12 am and 8 am, but due to some crappy software at my ISP, to avail this free bandwidth i have to disconnect and reconnect from router's firmware (which can also be done by turning the router off and then on) at 12 am(which is no problem 🙂 ) and then disconnect again before 8am(which is a big problem).If i don't do this, i get billed for the bandwidth i used up at night.I have D-link DSL-502T Router.
So can anyone suggest me a foolproof idea on how can i automate disconnection at 8 am
 
depends on your router. You might be able to format wget request's to it's web page to restart it. Build a script and schedule the script to run. You also might be able to use timers on the power cord (not sure if you can just have it shut off for a minute, then come back on or not, might have to daisy chain 2 timers)
