The Graveyard - Products No Longer Supported => Routers / COVR => DIR-655 => Topic started by: zim2dive on January 04, 2010, 12:05:36 PM

Given the limited reliability I am seeing so far with my 655, I am thinking I would start running a diagnostic script as a cron job on my linux box that verifies the ability to connect outside, every 20 minutes. With a previous Netgear router (which was known to overheat and lock up, even tho it was on a wire shelf with no airflow obstacles), I could reboot with something like:
curl -u user:password -m 10 -d connect=Reboot 10.0.0.1
I'm thinking I should be able to puzzle out an equivalent for the 655, just checking to see if anyone already has and can share their command.
thanks,
Mike

The DIR isn't a Linux based router. I'm not Linux oriented, but I guess that would make it quite difficult...
And the router is not FTP or Telnet enabled...

This has nothing to do with the OS of the router.. my linux box would simply be issuing an HTTP access to the correct URL on the router to cause the reset.
It would be the equivalent of the direct URL (if possible) that you would paste into any browser that would take a user directly not only TO the reset page but also "press" the reset button, without stopping at the user/password authentication page.
I'm 95% certain its possible, just a matter of puzzling out the required URL.

No worries, just didn't want folks to this this was a dead end.
Ok, I think I have it now curl -u admin:pwd -m 10 "http://192.168.1.1/reboot.cgi?reset=false"
WARNING: I *believe* reset=true will also reset to factory settings when it reboots (made this mistake)
In theory the reboot could be accomplished with other command line tools such as lynx, etc. This would work from linux, MacOSX, and could probably be done with Perl under Windows.
