Dd Wrt Cron Reboot

Posted on

You might be wondering if you can remotely reboot the router instead of having to unplug the device and plug it in again. This post will go over how to reboot the DD-wrt router remotely from the Web Gui.I’ve found that most of the time you can just reboot the router from the web interface and everything will work fine once again. To do this:Go to the DD-WRT router’s webpage. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1Click on the “Administration” tab. You will be prompted for the user/password of the router.Click on “Management” and scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Reboot router”.Hope this helps you reboot your DD-WRT Router remotely!Filed Under.

I use my Airlink 101 AR670W router as an access point with DD-WRT v24-sp2 build 13069.Because there are two many wireless networks in my neighborhood, I'd like it to scan and pick a least crowded channel for my SSID every day. So I enabled schedule reboot in Administration-Keep alive at a fixed time every day.

But it didn't work since the uptime kept accumulating and the syslog didn't show signs of reboot.I noticed on its router status page current time was always blank.I had enabled its built-in NTP client in page Setup-Basic setup-Time settings after entering the correct time zone and the IP address of the NTP server and thought this would update the system time correctly. But it didn't.

I then logged into the router by SSH/telnet with the same admin user of the web interface and did the following checks and/or fixes. cat /etc/cron.d/checkschedules30 19. root /sbin/reboot. ps grep cron1007 root 976 S cron. Typed the date command. To my surprise, it shows a date in year 1970.

I then manually set the date and time by date 09 ( date MMDDhhmmYYYY). System shock 2 console commands. Although it shows the resulting time as UTC, it's actually the right time for my time zone and appeared as current time on the router status page. Ping the ntp server IP.

I got no response. I found I had forgot to set the default gateway, so I set the right gateway IP at page Setup-Basic setup-Network setup and ping the ntp server again. Now there comes reponse.One day after I've done the above, I found the schedule reboot started working and uptime was counting correctly.

As a result, my wireless channel was updated to offer better signal quality.
