Can I reboot or enter recovery mode through telnet or ssh command?

Is there a known command for entering recovery mode or simply rebooting an AC66U via it's telnet or ssh connection? My router lives in an inconvenient location, so I thought I'd ask if there was a way to cycle my router wirelessly.

(Sorry, I'm not well versed in unix or routers, I was used to my Linksys wrt54gl where i didn't have to f*** with it to get a decent connection.)

Rebooting is as simple as:

reboot

Being a novice, where do these code / commands get entered - including the nvram ones?

How would I use SSH - is it a progamme , ir in Widnows/Macs, or in the router?


It looks like the commands are a command line ( or script ) - would it run from the win 7 RUN command?


Apols for thread hijack!

Use putty for all commands from windows

Thanks for that.

I found in the Merlin firmware in the tools there is an inoput method, hadn't noticed that in earlier version ( or knewwhat it was so ignored it! )

In that case, why not just click on the Reboot button at the top of the page?
