Technical Support for Routers

Hello I need help with scrip to Scheduled Tasks to Auto Update my IP using a crontab to visit my API url on a regular basis to ensure that the IP in my DNS provider account is always up to date.

I have been given instructions with script on How to set up a Cronjob on DD-WRT . But my router is GL-MT300N-V2 , running OPENWRT .

I don’t know if I can use the scrip of DD-WRT on the link below to input on my OPENWRT, is is going to work . Please help with script.

Here instructions on link I received

Similar but do this instead to enable cron and setup the task:

Thank you The putty instructions are straight forward,. Do you know how to write the scrip command to connect to API url at given times?

4

The link you gave in your OP tells you how to do that.

Yup just pick one of the lines from your link, and add them into the crontab -e from my link.

I see that but I was concerned that the command for DD-WRT router is different from OpenWrt.

Should that command on the link be correct then?

7

Yup. Cron is a linux thing so it’s universal for all these firmware’s and normal linux as well.

I suppose that you have solved your problem using email support.

Hi

I have finally resolved my probem with small changes to the command.

wget http://xxx.it/123456678899 --no-check-certificate -O -

Added no --no-check-certificate -O - also installed wget I’m not sure if it was there before . However API updates.

Thank you

Hello
I just purchased a second GL-AR300M .
I am trying wget to refresh a url which will update my IP with the smart DNS provider.
However, it is not doing it.
The first one is somehow doing it.
Should I upgrade the firmware for it to work?
Thanks

I don’t think there is anything different, as it is just wget

What is output of wget?
