Dear RMERLIN please add timed reboot feature...

[dolftb]

HI,

I have the lastest .34-2 firmware running on both Router and media bridge. If I don't reboot router every few days the transfer speeds of large files will drop from 45mb/s to 25-30 mb/s

This has been going on for months will all the recent firmware versions. I don't need to reboot the media bridge just the router.

All of my devices have static Ip's with exception to my 2 laptops and smartphone for which I instructed router to assign a specific IP to mac addresses . This because if have had many conflicts before. This however should not have a bearing on the issue above.

I prefer this firmware over DD-WRT however that does have a reboot fuction that can been designated. Would it be much trouble to implicate this ??/

Thanks

Router already has this feature. Just use CRON, and bash script as described in the readme file.

script file should consist: (any name but the extension sh, and chmod 777*)

#!bin/sh
reboot

*read readme for more info.

Try adding a cron job.

Edit (or create) the file /jffs/scripts/services-start

add the following line:

cru a dailyReboot "0 1 * * * /sbin/reboot"

I would reboot after adding this line. It then sets up a cron job that, at 1AM in the morning, every day, will execute the reboot command.

Should work...

Hi,

Thanks for your help. So when I copy the line you gave me where do I paste it into ?

Sorry I am a intermediate when it come to these things...

Ok, try this.

Open a telnet or ssh session and get to the command prompt.

Mine shows:
admin@RT-AC68U: /tmp/home/root#

at the commmand prompt type these commands exactly how it is here:

echo "#!/bin/sh" > /jffs/scripts/services-start
echo "cru a dailyReboot \"0 1 * * * /sbin/reboot\"" >> /jffs/scripts/services-start

Now, check and make sure the file is created and has this in it:

Type this cat command at the command prompt:

cat /jffs/scripts/services-start

It should show this:

#!/bin/sh
cru a dailyReboot "0 1 * * * /sbin/reboot"

If so, your good to go. Now we need to make it executable. So, enter this command:

chmod a+x /jffs/scripts/services-start

You will now need to reboot the router for the command to actually execute. So, reboot.

After booting, I would telnet or ssh back into the router and see if it is actually running. So, type this at the command prompt:

cru l

It should show this:

0 1 * * * /sbin/reboot #dailyReboot#

Good luck
