Changing settings over SSH

[Jonny Johansson]

I would like to use SSH instead of the web-GUI to enable and disable parental controls, and also to change password of the guest-wifi. Is this possible? If so, how?

Go to Administration on the Advanced Settings tab, click the System tab and change your preferences there for SSH.

I can access the router using SSH already. I'm wondering about what commands to use while connected via SSH in order to change parental control & guest network.

Oh, okay. Sorry, I haven't seen that how to.

It's technically possible but the nvram variables aren't documented because there are hundreds of them, many in proprietary format that aren't really humanly editable, and their structures can change at any time.

It's like trying to manage a Windows PC through regedit...

• nvram set wlX.Y_wpa_psk=PASSWORD

where X is [0-1] corresponding to 2.4G band and 5G band, and Y is [1-3] corresponding to one of the three guess network on each band. So locate your guest network iface and put in the right digits..

If you want more details, one folk went a bit further by generating a random password for guest network and email out here.

For parental control, shall be easy to reverse engineer by starting from the ASP page. Maybe you could be the guy to contribute the nvram variables?

Just what I was looking for, thanks!
