basically i want to be able to turn on a modem wirelessly from my bedroom, my parents turn it off and lock the door leading to it (LOL), is there any way to turn the modem on to be either on continously, even when the lights are not turned on (to give the impression that it is off when really it is constantly on), or is there a way to use command prompt or such to turn it on using a certain command. some kid told me to use a keylogger and change something to do with it but that couldnt be right since keyloggers store typed data. is there any way that it can be done.
