I've written several similar scripts, but not for the 7004AWBR. What you
need to do is act like a web client. urllib and httplib are your friends
here.

To figure out what you need to send, grab a copy of tcpTrace from
http://www.pocketsoap.com/tcptrace/ . This is a tool that lets you easily
spy on http transactions, so you can tell how the router does it's login,
and what happens when you press the reset button. You will need some
knowledge of how HTTP works to understand what's happening here.
Unfortunately, every router does this sort of thing differently.

Good luck,
