Need a device to remotely reboot equipment

What is available to reboot things like firewalls remotely?

A PDU (Power distribution Unit aka glorified power strip) that works over TCP/IP - you can power-cycle specific outlets

(If your firewall isn't working, this might not do the trick though)

Correct.  If firewall is down I can't reach the location.  

What about a wireless device you can plug things into and access from your phone?

I think you can login the machine, using Remote desktop, or Teamviewer, to further do the reboot.
I was able to power cycle the firewall via my UPS.
