Mohit Sharrma Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hi team, Anyone knows a way to perform a restart on the WAN interface without restarting entire router(R2). Essentially performing a Shut/No Shut on the WAN interface in order to force WAN to disconnect and reconnect. Maybe via CLI or any other method ?

It's not possible currently I'm afraid, what's the reason for needing to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But basically no not really possible with any Netduma devices currently.. maybe try using a different device for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually have to reset my WAN interface whenever there is a network outage from my ISP in order to reconnect and have to restart the router to do that, but that makes all my local services like Plex and RDP to go down as well. ASUS routers have a Enable/Disable switch for the internet(which basically bounces the WAN port), may be this can be added as a feature in future releases that allows the user to bounce(disable/enable) the WAN without restarting the router.

If i use a different device as a PPPoE host to connect to internet and use Netduma R2 as a bridge, will that allow me to use Netduma Features like GeoFilter etc, i really doubt that it would be the case. Can you please confirm that @Netduma Liam ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool idea! In the mean time you could probably just unplug the WAN cable and reconnect it again? Unfortunately there isn't a bridge mode currently available on the R2.

Mohit Sharrma Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Hey Liam, It's been long since this top, we have moved forward to newers firmwares, i would really like to request a WAN Connect/Disconnect toggle, i know i can unplug the WAN port and plug it back it but them means to physically go to the router. As i said earlier my Asus Router has that feature and so does my generic cheapo ISP router that i am using as a bridge now in front of my R2. If there is a list of features that you guys are looking into, please add this one too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unlikely to be implemented as you can kind of do this by going to Settings > WAN > Network > DHCP and clicking Save Network there Mohit Sharrma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
