CURL Reboot Linksys Router

                                                                        
Here is a CURL command to reboot Linksys routers. This save's time by not having to login to the web interface and navigating the right pages. This can also be used to automate router reboot.

curl http://username:password@192.168.1.1/apply.cgi -d "submit_button=Reboot&change_action=&action=Reboot&wait_time=19&rebootmode=1"

Please note: All my curl commands might not work directly if you copy paste because when you copy it will take the line breaks and give you a error, so paste this code into notepad or something and remove wordwrap, make sure the command is all on one line then copy paste it.

Look at my other scripts to know how to use CURL in windows.

Asus RT-N16 Partial Review

RT-N16 by Asus is a beast of a WiFi Router.

This router has some amazing specs. And its performance is pretty good.

Specs:
RAM: 128MB
Flash: 32MB
2 USB 2.0 Ports
Wireless B/G/N
Broadcom Chipset @480Mhz
4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports 10/100/1000
3 External Antennae's(Great, better than Linksys with no antennae's)
Supported by DD-WRT

Supports 300,000 connections. It acts and a File and Print server with the USB ports. It also acts as a media Server. Can download files directly to USB drives so you don't need your computer on all the time anymore.The web interface of this device is one of the best, no The Best I've ever seen, Its good enough for techy people to use, yet, simple and intuitive enough for novice users to use.

At 100$ your getting top of the line hardware for a Wireless Router. And with DD-WRT the possibilities and features that can be used, make it worth just having this router around. You can install OpenVPN if you put DD-WRT on it, and have a free VPN server to connect home when away.


I have not seen such high specs on a consumer router before, so It's worth having even for future use. I say that because If you look at most manufactures (especially Linksys) The Ram, Flash, and CPU specs drop as they progress. It seems that we are moving backwards when it comes to home WiFi router's instead of forwards. I would of expected that by now our home Wireless Routers would be as good as our computers. I wanna see 1GB of ram, 3Ghz CPU, and 16 GB of flash in a router.

Reboot WebSTAR DPC2100R2

Now here is another command to reboot WebSTAR DPC2100R2 Cable modem, Feel free to try it with other versions of cable modems that are similar.

curl http://192.168.100.1/goform/reset -d RestoreFactoryYes=1

The last CURL command to reboot the cable modem is different to this one because this CURL command will be the result of if you actually logged into the modem with username and password and clicked on the reset button in the web interface.

The Last CURL command was to set the down frequency to the starting frequency causing the modem to reinitialise.


Here is the last curl command and how to use curl in windows.
