Is it possible to turn off the router using commands? 🤔
Before installing DD-WRT, does router have a shutdown button? Not talking about an ON-OFF switch, but a power button like a PC!
Most cheap routers don't even have an ON-OFF button, just a DC plug! You can use the ON-OFF button on an extension socket instead. _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

yes but with the switch it is still a forced shutdown
That's likely an ON-OFF button, not Soft-Off switch as in PC and notebooks. I doubt any networking equipments got one. _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

apart of reboot command and echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger to force reboot..
use the button...or power switch..
the last 2 can leave some dirty data on usb so...its vital to stop usb service's and unmout that partition

mine was a simple question, that's all.
Soft-off still consumers electricity, so think about the bills and the fire risk. Also, eavesdropping devices can still funciton over wifi without your knowing. _________________ Router: Asus RT-N18U (rev. A1)

I have often wished we had a shutdown command. Not sure if the hardware would support it however and we would still most likely have to toggle the power switch to boot it back up.
Kinda like a Raspberry Pi. While the shutdown command works fine, wake on LAN doesn't. So a power cycle is required to boot it back up. _________________ Linksys EA8500 (Internet Gateway, AP/VAP) - DD-WRT r53562
