N66U Set WPA PSK Via Commandline

SOLVED: N66U Set WPA PSK Via Commandline

Hi All,
I am running Merlin's 3.0.0.4.374.34 build on an RT-N66U. Is there a way to set my PSK using the commandline? The goal is to implement a rolling PSK for one of my guest wireless instances. I would like the router to randomly generate a new passphrase, set it, then email myself the new key.

I tried using nvram. I grepped for the key I set in the GUI, then tried changing it using the following, but it didn't work.

nvram set wl0.1_wpa_psk="This is a test."

I tried searching the forums, and Google, without any luck. Hopefully this can be done. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you run "nvram commit" after the set command?

You will need to restart the wireless services after making any change to it.

service restart_wireless

Awesome, that was it. I knew I was missing something simple. Thanks to you both!
