WAG200G Router reboot script

[Subbu]

I have found a solution using php scripting

Hey! It's [xubz] here (from CHIP)

Do be generous with the script! DO NOT remove any copyright info if you are re-posting it somewhere else!

Anyway, I did develop a C# based Application that's not that messy. Get it here

Just read the README.txt


EDIT: Updated the Software. It's now much more User Friendly and it's not a Console C# App anymore. Also included the C# (VS2008 Express) Source Code in the Package

Hi, Did you replace the default password "admin" with the password you use for logging into the modem, in the PHP batch file, or if you are using the C# file then in the rebootsettings.ini file. Cheers...

I tried out C and yes, i replaced the pw.....still getting error

Hi, I tried replicating the error; it only came up when the password was wrong. The only other thing you can try is this (but do it for a short period and bring the settings back)1. Open the Windows Firewall settings and diable the firewall.2. Then open the modem page and go into the security tab. Disable the firewall there. Now try and run the script; if it works then we will enter into a detailed anlaysis of your settings and maybe define some exceptions. Additionally, you can try and open the port 80 in the modem page in the apllications and gaming tab. Cheers...

I checked up the firewall, it was already disabled. I enabled it and executed the script, but got the same error. Checked up the password also, its proper.Can u further explain, how to open port 80 ?

Hi Subbu,

I hope u read ur PMs.
anywayz, can u create a similar (working) reboot script for the Buffalo WBMR-G125 ADSL+Wifi Router too?
coz this is what is pending to confirm for this router before buying it since im exchanging/selling my current Linksys WRT54GC Wireless Router and unsubscribing MTNL's CPE ie.returning their D-Link 502T ADSL Modem and stopping the 62/month rental.
the reason im getting rid of both is i have overpaid in rental for the mtnl modem and i after all possible tries (including ur scripts) i cudnt get the wireless router to automaticall reboot.
every night, i have to manually unplug the power cord of the router before 12am and 8am which isnt practical anymore.
thanx, in advance.

Your password contains symbol(s) thats why you're getting error. He used Regular expression to parse the password from ini. Which is worst idea if there is no begin and end identity or a separate line for password.
consider this
if your password is '1234^5678' then it'll parse it as '1234'
