WAN Restart from shell

[pm22]

Hi!

How can i restart the WAN connection from the shell?

Background: I have a 3G internet connection using a Huawei E372 stick. My provider kicks me out every 24 hours. The asus router reconnects immediately, so that's no problem. But i want to move the reconnect into the night. My idea is a cron job which restarts the WAN connection at 05:00.

A great feature would be, if i can configure that with the WebGui ;-)

Go to the main page, click on the WAN icon. On the right you will have a toggle switch to disable/enable WAN.

Hi !

Yes, i know that button, but i have to do it manually. I want that it will be performed automatically at a configurable time.
If i can make a restart from the WAN with a shell command, i can implement this function in my scripts.

BTW: Thank you for your great firmware!

Simple!

just type the following command:

service stop_wan
service start_wan

or :

service restart_wan
