View Full Version : can I apply the configuration changes without rebooting the AP?
I installed oleg's firmware, and each time when I changed the configurations via web interface, I'm asked to reboot the AP to enable those changes.
So I'm curious whether I can apply the configuration changes without rebooting the AP. It would be very helpful to me, since I'm not sure each time whether my ADSL modem can successfully dial-in after reboot.
(It's said Tomato firmware can do it, but ASUS wl-500g is not supported by tomato, so side question: is there any wl500g supported firmware having such functionality?)
Thanks a lot.

Don't use this stupid web-ui. configure your router via telnet/ssh.

Web-UI is not flexible and powerful as telnet/ssh, but it's much more intuitive, and easy to use :)
I'm fine with the telnet/ssh. The problem is lots of changes are nvram related, and they seem not to take effect without a reboot. How to do this with telnet/ssh, for example, changing pwd of webcam or virtual server config?
Thanks

I've bought my wl-500gP just a 3 days ago, and i'm not familiar with it's nvram settings.
Changing settings in web-ui several times and comparing output of `nvram show` could give an idea.
as for me, i'm going to try OpenWRT -- it looks more flexible and doesn't depend on disgusting^Wuncommon solutions from ASUS's original firmware
