I’m looking for a smart plug which can be triggered and power cycled by my Tasmota smart plug when my internet is down.
I have a Tasmota smart plug setup where it will reboot my cable modem if my internet goes down.
I need a smart plug where it can be triggered by the Tasmota smart plug so the smart plug will turn off and on my router.

Uhh?
You want a smart plug in series with another smart plug?
Why not just get one proper smart plug?
Anyways, I would recommend ZigBee or Zwave since they don’t rely on wifi

I can’t see why it couldn’t be done with Shelly plus plug for example.

Because it needs wifi.
He has crossposted another thread where he intends to pull the power to both modem and router.

The router and cable modem are separate and powered by two set outlets.

Yes. The Tasmota smart plug will pull the power to the cable modem.
I’m trying to find another smart plug which can be triggered when this happens and then power cycle my router.

If you still have wifi, when Tasmota triggers there’s no problem. Tasmota turns off cable, sends a trigger to Shelly and Shelly briefly disconnects router. Internet connection is not needed.
Another tasmota plug? Just enable device group on both, should work just fine since they’re on still on wifi right until the router gets power cycled
If I were you I’d rather contact the ISP, I would not accept my internet being down regularly and that the equipment needs reboots often enough to warrant automating restarts of the equipment.

This? I’ll do some reading and try to understand how to set this up

There should be WiFi just no internet access since the cable modem would be powered off first then the router.
The Shelly plug would automatically turn on once powered off?
If so, I’ll give this a try first since it seems the easiest.

If you set it to do that.
