2.3.7.2. Keep 
Alive 
Keep-Alive lets you configure monitoring options that automatically 
reboot the router if a service malfunction causes it to fail to 
respond. 
 
2.3.7.3. Commands 
Entering Linux commands is one of the most powerful ways to access the 
router’s functionality. This enables you to access services and 
configure options that are not accessible via the Web GUI. Using shell 
commands can lead to unexpected results. Use them with utmost care. 
 
Aside from executing the shell commands directly you can also save 
custom start up and firewall scripts. 
2.3.7.4. WOL 
With Wake-on-LAN, you can send special data packets to compatible 
devices on your LAN, causing them to exit sleep mode. 
 
WOL data packets can be triggered manually or scheduled automatically. 
 
2.3.7.5. Factory 
Defaults 
With this feature you can reset the router’s settings to factory 
defaults. After a reset, the router will restart.  
 
2.3.7.6. Firmware 
Upgrade 
The firmware upgrade option can be used to install a different 
firmware version. When doing this you can choose if the router’s 
settings will be restored to factory defaults or kept.  
 
2.3.7.7. Backup 
You can use this feature to store your current configuration into a 
backup file, or to restore from a previously stored configuration. 
This also makes it simple to set up a number of routers with the exact 
same configuration.  
2.3.8. Status 
2.3.8.1. Router 
The status screen displays information about the router, such as cpu 
load, memory consumption, and currently active IP connections. Status 
is updated automatically. 
 
2.3.8.2. WAN 
If the WAN interface is enabled, this screen displays WAN settings and 
throughput statistics.
