DSL-G604T - telnet command to disable wireless?

[padnoter]

Hi,

I know how to disable the wireless ap thru' the gui, but want to be able to program it thru' a telnet session.

i.e.
telnet 192.168.1.1 23
un>root
pw>admin
disable_ap_command??
or
setvar "apenabled" 0
etc


does anyone know the relevant command or setvar/set setting?

thanks

It all depends on what your firmware provides. Which firmware are you using?

That firmware is far too old - I doubt that you can do what you're trying to do with it. However, there is one way to check. Run the following command from a telnet session on the router, and post the output

Code: Select all

echo "begin;ap:settings/ap_enabled;end" | cm_cli

that's brilliant - many thanks...

your command doesn't return anything, but that value is set & wireless is enabled/disabled with;

Code: Select all

echo "begin;ap:settings/ap_enabled=1;end" | cm_cli -l
echo "begin;ap:settings/ap_enabled=0;end" | cm_cli -l

thanks again

btw - I thought I had the latest firmware - well latest I could find anyway... do you have an easy link to a better one?

If your current firmware is all working well for you and you need nothing more, then you might as well stick with it. Upgrading a firmware is a fraught process and not for the faint-hearted. If you are feeling adventurous, then you might want to upgrade to RouterTech - but you will first of all need to upgrade to the latest manufacturer firmware. Apparently, the latest D-Link release is version 3.02B01T01. Do a Google search for it - or you can see a list here (in Italian, but the links, towards the bottom of the page, are clear enough).

There is an Australian version (for GenII) here. And there is an older Australian version here.

As usual, all disclaimers apply. Proceed at your own risk!
