My ISP is sending out a technician as my internet isn't working, during the long call up to this point I was told I had to disconnect the AC so a reset signal could be sent.

I asked for a more technical explanation of how this could work and he told me the coax carries enough power to send packets even when the AC is unplugged, is this just bollocks to make me reset the router or is this factual?

He told me this is a standard thing referred to as "Sending a hit".
