Excellent idea!
Furthermore, Googling "AppleScript reset the WiFi" I got a number of
suggestions, including:
log "Restarting internet..."
do shell script "networksetup -setairportpower Wi-Fi off"
delay 2
do shell script "networksetup -setairportpower Wi-Fi on"
log "Done."
delay 8
Thanks! I'm off and running...
