Script to turn off wireless

[Uranya]

Hi friends,
I have just finished to configure this awesome firmware for my brand new ASUS RT-AC68U

I need you to help me to create a script that turns off/on wireless
I have tried to use "wl radio off" and "wl radio on" but this doesn't work.

Please help, thank you!

What is the final goal (overall goal/plan)?

Dear friend, the reason is that I need to have wifi OFF from 3:00 up to 8:00, which the configuration page does not allow.

I'm using scripting through "cru" crontab agent, but I need the right command.

I have tried with this

into services-start added this line:

cru a ra0 "0 3 * * * /tmp/mnt/scripts/custom/radio_off.sh"

and radio_off.sh as below:

#!/bin/sh

log='/tmp/mnt/scripts/custom/custom.log'
NOW=$(date +"%Y.%m.%d %H:%M")

echo >> ${log} "${NOW} >>> Radio: OFF"
wl radio off

At 3:00 o'clock I can find the line into log, but wifi is still on

Do you have a way to solve this?
Thank you again!

I don't think you need a script to do it. It could be done through :
Main menu/Wireless/Professionnal

But if you want the other way, look at RMerlin post:

Hello
Here it is how it works for me on RT-N66U

You need to specify which one adapter you want to turn off

To turn off 2.4
wl -i eth1 radio off

To turn off 5.0
wl -i eth2 radio off

The same to turn them on
Hope it helps
