WRT1900ACv1 Fan Daemon

[Lantis]

Fan Daemon for the WRT1900AC V1

This replaces the factory fan script and increases the checking frequency from every 5 minutes to every 10 seconds.

It also enables the fan to run at half speed if the temperatures are not too extreme.

The daemon also has a failsafe in that if it crashes or is accidentally quit it sets the fan to half speed as a precaution.

Installation can be done manually or by downloading
http://www.lantisproject.com/gargoyle_m ... _daemon.sh
and executing that script with the parameter "-install".

Uninstalling can be done with the parameter "-uninstall", which automatically re-enables the factory fan script.

Digging up an old post -

My WRT1900ACs (both v2) are running at around 70C - I'm wondering if I have to install this fan Daemon for the fan to work, or if it's already included in the current release? Can I install it as a plug-in? Or do I need to SSH into the router?

Thanks,
Karen

Not included by default.
I don't think the v2 or ACS have fans? You can see through the top grill pretty easily if they do.

Sorry the title is misleading.

Hi,
Just to confirm, Linksys 1900 ACS haven't got fan, it has bigger radiator instead.

Can someone explain to me the steps to install the fan daemon or point me to something that explains step by step? I don't know anything about this.

Code: Select all

wget -O /tmp/install.sh http://lantisproject.com/gargoyle_mvebu/fan_daemon/install_fan_daemon.sh
sh /tmp/install.sh -install

You should see some output messages when this script runs to tell you that it has done everything.
You can then do a "logread" after and see what speed it has set the fan to.

My issue is I don't know what to do with the code/script. How do I 'put it in the router'. Do I have to enable remote SSH access. And where do I learn about using SSH? I have no idea how to do that at all. I'm a little worried as the CPU on the router has a temperature reading of about 158F/70C. I am willing to learn but I'm really lost.
