I have two dd-wrt routers. Ultimately my goal is to make the TL-WDR4300v1 the main router again.

On my TL-WDR4300v1 the code below works perfectly (with 5G disabled) with build 23919 however the code below does not work correctly on my TP-LINK-WR1043NDv1 router with r25309. When I go into the TP-LINK-WR1043NDv1 status page for the Wi-Fi it shows the wireless being up however no SSID is being broadcast nor is there a connection to the wireless. So it appears to shut down correctly so the problem appears to be in the code to bring it back up.

I like having the Wi-Fi off at night so could someone tell me what I’m missing? I copied the code below from another post and altered the times, please advise. Thanks in advance


0 23,0-9 * * * root ifconfig ath0 down; iwconfig ath0 txpower 0
0 10 * * * root ifconfig ath0 up; iwconfig ath0 txpower 55mW; startservice lan

Is this confirmed for any TP-Link router?

To turn off radio / WLAN, why should I set txpower 0?
To turn on radio / WLAN, why should I startservice lan that was not stopped before?

the best answer I could give you is the code is for Atheros hardware. From looking at the the forum the code and results vary. I reverted back to my TL-WDR4300v1 and r23919, all is good
