Hello Everyone,

I know this is a much searched and discussed topic in these forums. However I would like to present an improved autohotkey code that overcomes the shortcomings of the previous ones.

Prvious methods: (search in forum)
1. Using TST.exe like here --(triband-nu-solution-automated-router-reboot)
2. Using AutohotKey like here -- (automatic-rebooting-router-2-am-8-am)

The problem with the above two methods :
1) The Telnet Scripting Tool waits for characters before sending the next command. Sometimes it gets struck here.
2) In the AHK method, The send/sendkey commands send the string inputs only to the currently active window. Hence if the telnet window is not the current window (topmost) or if you have locked your desktop, the inputs are not sent to telnet window and hence the script is not executed.
3) Further any input from the keybord/mouse while the autohotkey script is running interferes with the command being sent to telnet window and may screw up the automation.
4) Also when you reboot the modem in addition to internet the existing LAN connections are also broken.
So as an improvement that takes care of these problems I present here an autohotkey script.This is by far the most failsafe method. It does not wait for characters to appear like the TST.exe method nor does one have to worry about the telnet being the active window(so u can lock ur desktop too) and of course you dont need to reboot the modem(which takes time, disconnects LAN and may be injurious to ur modem )

I have UTStarcom WA3002G4 modem with BSNL connection.So I will illustrate using this.

Note that
1.the words in bold are particular to your case. first admin is username , 2nd is password.
2.between the commands blockinput on and blockinput off, u will not be able to move your mouse from a brief time (<500msec)
3.Always try to use only the disconnect and reconnect codes (less time consuming and more efficient)

So all u need to do is get autohotkey(Google for Autohotkey installer),install it , rightclick -> create new ahk script, copy paste the above codes, then schedule them using windows scheduler (u can run the .ahk file directly or make exe).(Disconnect at 1.59/7.59 am, Reconnect at 2.01/8.01 am)

Also note that disconnecting and reconnecting changes ur ip address. So the code is good for rapidshare.

For use with other modems replace the underlined commands with equivalent commands for the particular modem. you can find them by manually tenetting to 192.168.1.1 and going through various commands in your modem (type 'help' or '?')(especially look for ppp connect/disconnect commands) like I did or google for it.
Hope this helps someone.

Thank you. Repo given.

Thanks Just4Kix,
Just want to add some more info here.

The above automatic disconnect/reconnect is obviously for always on modem using PPPoE.From your post titled 'Solution for multiple machines connecting to same BB connection' since the values of vci/vpi are different for bsnl/mtnl, one needs to modify the command given to modem as well.
syntax of following command :
ppp config 0.0.35 up

follows

ppp config port.vpi.vci [up/down]
(note that the command/syntax depends upon the modem u have.)
the port is generally 0.(at least in my case).vpi, vci depends on ISP. you can find urs in ur modem configuration page at 192.168.1.1 (default) -> advanced setup -> WAN -> ATM PVC configuration (or similar).

Does the above reboot code for UTStarcom WA3002G4 actually work ? I dont have the modem but if it works i will buy it. Or else i will buy a bsnl type 1 modem which supports Imran's Broadband utility. Is Dlink dsl 502T still in market now ? By the way do all Bsnl type 1 modems work with Imran's Broadband utility ?

just4kix

Everything in this guide has been tested on UT-300R2U (version 1, version 2.2) and WA3002G4.

Imran's utility will also work.

sundeep_sarathy

Hi, I use GLB-502T modem

As said by Admin, I tired to Run>>telnet>>o 192.168.1.1>>Busybox on localhost login:>>admin>>password:>>I entered my password

Now as per Admin article I should get "#" symbol where I should type "reboot". But I get message "Login incorrect".

But when I give those userid and password in the browser when its url is 192.168.1.1, I am able to go into modem's web page (configuration page)

Please see attachment for Telnet screen details. Can any one help me?

Thankyou,
Sundeep

This thread just popped up in the search results, hence am commenting on it.

Are u sure about the password being entered in the command prompt. Try manually telnetting the router, enter the username/password combination which u use to access the web interface. It should work. Else try resetting the modem. Make sure to backup connection details before resetting.

DM111PUSP

The only reason you can get the error "Login incorrect" is that either you have typed the wrong Username or wrong Password(or both wrong).

from your screenshot also it looks like you have not typed anything when prompted for password.

So it will be better for you try repeat the entire process.. and if then also you face this problem.. please write here.

cool_techie_tvm

D-Link routers have this nifty feature, while telnetting and while the username/password is being entered, the username is listed. But the password is kept blank. Hence in the screenshot the password is blank.

DM111PUSP

Thanks for the ^^ info...

Anyway.. through googling i came to know that the the real problem is in the username..
the username for this modem is "root", and the password is the same which works in web interface.

cool_techie_tvm

What baffles me in http://www.indiabroadband.net/broadb...html#post98654 (Automatic rebooting of router at 2 AM and 8 AM) is that the poster says he is able to login to webinterface using the username/password combination. Or is the telnet username/password different from the ones used to access the web interface?

DM111PUSP

Actually this is a perfect example of a really poor implementation by Dlink.. where they allow "Admin" as the username with web interface but "root" as the username for telnet session.(both sharing the same password)

cool_techie_tvm

I possess a D-Link 2540T router. I just tried admin/*password* as well as root/*password* in telnet console. And guess what? It worked. I have always used admin/*password* for rebooting the modem. Thanks to this thread i came to know about the second username/password combination.

essbebe

@superprash2003
one more user password.

DM111PUSP

Is there other Username and Passwords also, other than "Admin" and "root"?

Gary4gar

@cool_techie_tvm
D-link router are running on busybox. that why their username is "root" instead of admin in web interface. and like all linux terminals busybox does not show passwords
if you are familar with linux, then you would understand.

cool_techie_tvm

As u might be knowing from my linux queries in other forums, i am no pro in linux. Still sticking with Ubuntu/Fedora because of ease of use.

U might be surprised to know that my D-Link router supports admin,root as username. This is what i had posted in post #56.
