Automate disabling wireless on USR router

[Qbektrix]

I have a USRobotics ADSL router(USR9108). I want to know if its possible to diable the wireless on my router.

From night 12 to morning 5. I want the wireless to be disabled. The router is protected by password. But daily doing it just a pain. I cannot switch off my router because i have a small server.

I checked my router options and there is no option for that. I was thinking of writing a batch file and running it. But no clue how to write one.

Do i have some other option or can anyone pls help with writing the batch file. I tried googling but no success.

Thanks

And why exactly do you want to do this? Why don't you just correctly SECURE the thing and be done with it.. Do you feel that turning off the radio is going to be power savings?

I don't see anywhere in the demo interface that feature is supported. If it does not have cli access, ie ssh or telnet then you would have to use some tool to manipulate the web interface. Something like AutoIT could be used http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/

But quite often when people want to turn off the radio its for security reasons -- which is pointless if they would just correctly secure it with WPA or WPA2 and a SECURE passphrase in the first place.

I use a program called macro scheduler for automating tasks. It will record your mose movement and keystrokes, then can play them back at scheduled times. This may work for you. I am guessing you are trying to do something to maybe keep your kids off the wireless late at night?

From the demo interface the router supports having scheduled access to the internet, it just does not seem to have a feature to be able to schedule when the radio is on or off.

dd-wrt has that feature for example.

And I do not see support for that model of USR router listed on the dd-wrt site.

The reason is late night facebookin & myspacin.

Currently i do everything manually, i will try the options mentioned. I will post back.

dd-wrt or tomato is my last resort. But for that i will have to throw out my USR & get a linksys. I was hoping they will start support for usr also.

Well you can block internet access on a schedule with your router, you do not have to turn of the radio to block internet access.

Can you pls explain as to how i can do that with my current usr router.

Have you not even bothered to browse around your router interface.. You managed to find how to turn of your radio -- but did not see

You can use the Internet Access Control page to create a parental control rule that keeps certain network devices off the Internet for specific time periods. The rules can block access for a defined time period on certain days of the week.

Honestly, I just got no clue how beat up myself. I am actually shocked. I went through the manual and even checked around all the options. Still clueless as to how i could have missed it.

Really sorry for wasting all your time and adding a useless thread.

Thanks a lot

Its not a waste of time if you can now accomplish your goal, it's just a shame you did not figure it out on your own ;) which is always more satisfying then having information force fed to you on a silver spoon - hehehe
