When I press the reset button on the back of the router I need it to reset to MY custom specified defaults (not wireless disabled like factory default).
I read some threads that I just needed to make a backup.tar.gz file of my current settings then dump it in /etc/original_backup/ but I think that must be for an older version of the software or something (running 1.6.2 on TP-Link TL-1043ND v2).
I ran "uci get system.@button[-1].handler" and it told me that when someone presses the reset button it runs "firstboot". I looked through firstboot, didn't see a way to have it use my custom settings .tar.gz file
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Need to reset to MY custom defaults
Haven't done a firstboot in ages but I thought there was an option to restore a backup?
Edit: I was mistaken.
So is restoring to defaults and then applying a backup out of the question?
There is also an option for you to build your own custom image where your network settings are the default.

Re: Need to reset to MY custom defaults
Correct, this is not possible. The restorations must be done in the future using just the physical reset button on the routerLantis wrote:So is restoring to defaults and then applying a backup out of the question?
Ohhh, nice! Do you have a link or more information on how to do this?Lantis wrote:There is also an option for you to build your own custom image where your network settings are the default.

Re: Need to reset to MY custom defaults
i'm no expert, so i can only give you the tools to try it yourself.
You'll want to set yourself up a Build Environment to make your own images.
See:

Once you have all of the openwrt files necessary, you can make changes to them. My understanding is that you'll want to make changes to this file:
~/BUILDDIRECTORY/CHIPSET-src/package/kernel/mac80211/files/lib/wifi/mac80211.sh
at the end of this file is the default settings that get written into the build.
I think this is your best solution, but a tad tedious lol.
