    SSH restart_wan not working

    I`ve tried several methods to reconnect WAN (4G USB stick) through SSH but none of them worked. Is there a way (command) to reconnect WAN without reboot the router itself? I would like to make an automated reconnect script but restart_wan doesn`t work. I only get disconnected by it.

    Mount a ext4 USB drive?

    I recently installed Merlin's ASUS WRT firmware, and wanted to install Skynet and Diversion. The Skynet developer recommends ext4, and Diversion requires it. Now, I can only get Skynet to recognize the USB drive and work with FAT32. As soon as I pop in a ext4 drive, the router's WebGUI says...
