Topic: Push button support for WLAN  (Read 4141 times)

Is it possible to add a push button support to turn on/off the WLAN connection? I have seen it on Fritz boxes and I find this feature very convenient.

Thank you

Seeing as how we don't do hardware, how would we do that?  All of the firewalls I have installed, the only button is power...

Turns off wireless perfectly.  Grin

I think the OP is looking for a software "button" within m0n0wall that disables/enables wireless in a single click as opposed to the multiple clicks now required to change the state of an interface, apply the changes, and perhaps even reboot.

I don't think he is talking about a software button, at least the FritzBox I'm forced to use (sadly) does not have such a button on it's webinterface. However, I have to admit that a row of buttons on the first page of the webinterface would be quite convenient.

By the way, just a quick reminder that the 1.8b scheduler supports turning on/off wireless e.g. during night.
