Hello,
Thank You all, I have bought my new router RT-N66U and start playing with same http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=9879


Some questions:
1. I have 2 ISPs, I want to setup a way to switch between both easily between different intervals, how can i achieve this ?
I want to use ISP1 from morning 9 AM to evening 9 AM
I want to use ISP2 from evening 9 PM to morning 9 PM

2. I want to use WIFI only from morning 7 am to 11:50 am, 2 PM to 5 pm and
9 pm to 2 pm. Rest all time it should be disabled..
(I am only disabling the same, because I read it is not good for health in home network, those 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals else I can keep that on 24x7)
I also need some options to bypass all settings and turn wifi on/off as required.

3. Presently, when connecting ipad2 to use wifi, I am getting the SSID listed, but when on entering password it does not works. I get message following message after entering password = Unable to join the network hXzRo3
I am setting in the last corner of my room, where i work, this has 2 thin walls and a wooden door, between router and ipad2.
Opening the wooden door make me use wifi properly but with wooden door closed it is creating issue.

4. What is WPS button on router, how to use it ?

5. How can i switch WIFI on/off quickly and easily ?
Please give me some shortcut for same if possible.

6. How can i turn internet on/off quickly anytime ?
Please give me some shortcut for same if possible.

7. I am using following Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.260, do you have better suggestion compared to same ?
(I am more of web gui person, with easy to go menus etc.)

hello, ill be quick with some answers

1. im not sure about this but i think you need firmware that can convert a Lan port to a WAN port......merlin has some experimental builds from what i know. remember that those are experimental so might not work very well right now as they are under development.

2. are you on stock firmware? if so move to merlin build. it has an inbuilt scheduler for wifi under wifi section.

3.......... try moving to the latest merlin build or latest asus. i dont know what to say here


4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Setup
i suggest that you disable WPS for security issues. On this router WPS button has clear Nvram function.

also using merlin build you will be able to program diffrent stuff for your wps button .....like turning on off radios...aka wifi

5. seee above

6. hmm dont know about this.....maybe a script can be created to stop the wan during certain hours

7. i think that is not the latest build from asus....anyway is much better to try at least merlin build ....there are other like tomatousb and ddwrt


SEARCH AND READ THE FORUMS BEFORE FLASHING A NEW FIRMWARE
