Greetings.
If your goal is to disable WiFi after 15 minutes after router was restarted. Then you can use crontab to simply disable Wifi every 15 minutes. But once the WiFi is off, you will have to enable it manually, because even the router will restarted the WiFi will stay off.
To summarize: router starts, WiFi is turned of after 15 minutes. And it stays off. You have to enable Wifi manually.
To achieve this connect to router CLI. And edit crontab. With: crontab -e
Next enter this command on the line into the file and save it (you will be using VI editor and it is a bit complicated, look for explanation on how to edit at the bottom of the post):
*/15 * * * * uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].user_enable=0 && uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].disabled=1 && uci commit && wifi
*/15 - means after 15 minutes. To learn more about crontab commands visit Teltonika Wiki: https://wiki.teltonika.lt/view/Crontabs
Restart the router and wait for results.
This procedure was tested and worked perfectly.
To Enable Wifi
- Simple enable using Web Interface
- Enable via CLI with this command:
uci set wireless.@wifi-iface[0].user_enable=1 && uci delete wireless.@wifi-iface[0].disabled && uci commit && wifi
Vi Editor Instructions
Input mode
The input mode lets you insert or append text. To insert text before the cursor's current position, in command mode, press i. Similarly, to append after the cursor, you can type a. Remember that you can't move around with the cursor keys in this mode. When you're done entering text, press Esc to go back to command mode.
Exit mode
The ex mode is an extension of command mode. To get into it, press Esc and then : (the colon). The cursor will go to the bottom of the screen at a colon prompt. Write your file by entering :w and quit by entering :q. You can combine these to save and exit by entering :wq. However, if you're finished with your file, it's generally more convenient to type Shift-z-z from command mode.
