Script to disconnect Linksys WRT54G wireless router on Windowswill run from Windows XP and hit the 'connect' & 'disconnect' button? For example, I'd like to disconnect my wireless router (firmware 1.02.0) by clicking on a single shortcut to replace the multiple button presses today. That shortcut would (perhaps using wget or some other idea): 1. Connect to the wireless router IP address (https://192.168.0.1) 2. Log in with a blank username & enter 'letmein' as the password 3. Navigate to the "Status -> Router" Linksys WRT54G web page 4. Press the "Login Status = Disconnect" button A similar shortcut would reconnect on demand. Is "wget" the best way to accomplish this? I can't believe I'm the first person to need this so some kind wireless guy must have done this already. I googled for "linksys wrt54g connect script" and found something called "slackware" in addition to "wget" but I'm not a programmer so I would like to start with an existing script that does SOMETHING like hit any button on the Linksys WRT54G router. Once I have that, I can probably modify that program to do what I want. I did find http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/LinksysWrt54g interesting but I did not understand most of the detail (I have a lot to learn). Does anyone have a script that runs on windows that will connect to https://192.168.x.y to then hit a button on the Linksys WRT54G router? Hi
Routers are propriety devices there is No one universal way to control them. As a result you cab expect Windows as an OS to be programmed to control every Independent 3rd party device. If it really important you can learn simple scripting, or pay some one to do it. If you just want to disconnect a computer from the Router you can use the IPCONFOG /release command. http://www.ezlan.net/iprel.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

I want to disconnect the router from the isp (not the pc from the router). I dug some more and have some perl scripts (whatever perl is) and will see if they will run on Windows. Apparently they need to know the name of the Linksys WRT54G button. I viewed the page source at https://192.168.1.0/StaRouter.htm and I think that the button is called "connect" and then "disconnect". I'll keep digging and asking questions and posting the answers as I find them until we have a Linksys WRT54G script that runs from Windows to a) Log into the Linksys WRT54G router b) Navigate to the https://10.2.18.20/StaRouter.htm page c) Press the disconnect button d) Wait five or ten seconds e) Press the connect button This refreshes with a new IP address.

>Is there an existing wireless router linksys WRT54G script out there that Sure. There are several Windoze "automation" tools. The one I like>will run from Windows XP and hit the 'connect' & 'disconnect' button? to use is the ancient "Macro Recorder" from Windoze 3.1. However, I'm not going to recommend this because of its age. More modern incantations can be found at: <http://www.kratronic.com/recorder/> ($23) <http://www.aldostools.com/macro.html> <http://www.jitbit.com/macrorecorder.aspx> and so on. Search Google for "macro recorder" or "keystroke mouse recorder". Lots to choose from. You start the recorder, do whatever it takes with your mouse and keyboard, stop the recorder when done, and save the macro. If you want to repeat it again, just run the macro. Simple. Another way to do this is to install DD-WRT or OpenWRT on your WRT54G, and use various shell or expect scripts to turn the router on and off. The command to turn on/off the WAN connection could be: ifconfig eth1 up ifconfig eth1 down or something like that. -- Jeff Liebermann je***@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 On Mon, 19 Nov 2007 10:01:16 -0800, Jeff Liebermann wrote:

I'll look it up and hopfully post an answer so the next guy can press a button to log into the Linksys WRT54G router, navigate to the status router page, press the disconnect button, wait five seconds, press the connect button. This will automatically get a new IP address (at least in my setup it does when I do this manually). Wilson <davewilso***@sbcglobal.net> hath wroth:

Most ISP's don't work that way. If you disconnect, the next>when I do this manually). time you reconnect, you'll probably get the same IP address. That's to keep their log files sane. Notable exceptions are the ISP's that change IP addresses to discourage setting up servers. I question why you would need to change IP's? If this is some variation on trying to become anonymous or hidden while on the internet, you're on your own. I'm not a Perl programmer, so I can't help you learn Perl via usenet. -- Jeff Liebermann je***@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 On Mon, 19 Nov 2007 10:01:16 -0800, Jeff Liebermann wrote:

Do you think this perl script modified to hit the disconnect & connect button will work? I'm googling for just how I would change the script below. So far, I see the following changes needed: 1. I will google to see how to give the "null" set (blank?) as a login 2. I need to figure out how to press the disconnect button Before I dig further, is this script below a good place to start in order to create a Windows script that disconnects the Linksys WRT54G wireless router from the ISP from a wireless portable PC client?
