Telnet commands

Hi there,

first say hello to all, it's my first post here. Second, I'm spanish, so I'll try to do my best in english...

Ok, let's go.

We are enabling a HotSpot on a Government Structure, and one of the requisites is WiFi key has to be renewed every day.  This won't be a problem if the person at charge of changing the key has absolutely no idea about computers. Then, the first solution that came to my head was: Why not Telnet? simply put a BAT file on Task Manager (yes, Windows, I know...) who calculates new key and send it to the router... Answer below.

I've been looking for a neutral router which can be accesed via Telnet with no luck. (WTF? even oldest DSL routers had this option... why not now? Ok, ok, security hole...) When I read about WNR3500L, I realized that I can enable Telnet on OFW (don't want CFW, too difficult for me).

Question is: Can I change the WEP key via Telnet commands on OFW? I think nvram commands won't work cause, AFAIK, all them are based on OpenWRT... Any way to do it on BusyBox? (Theoretically, is the base system for this router...)

 

Thanks for your patience with noobs!

 

PS: One more thing: it is mandatory to execute telnetEnable.exe each time I want to acces the router via telnet or telnet access remains activated until next boot?

Yes, WEP key can be modified

Yes, WEP key can be modified using commands via telnet. But it can also be
done through GUI of wnr3500l which will be more user friendly.

No, you don't have to execute telnetEnable.exe each time you want to acces the
router via telnet. Telnet access remains activated until next boot.
