First of all, thank you very much for trying to help me. Much appreciated!

All were pre-set in the build. Six plugins came pre-installed (miniDLNA, OpenVPN, Tor, USB Printer, USB Storage, English-EN language pack). Doing a refresh only brings up a few more language packs.

I already did a refresh via SSH console to no avail, though the list of plugins I get from "opkg list" seems to be much longer than what's shown in the web GUI. WifiSchedule is still missing from that one as well, though, otherwise I would have attempted a manual install.


It's a fresh setup, all configured manually (and it's working very well, besides the plugin issue). I didn't restore anything from my previous attempts (on 1.6.2, 1.7.1 and 1.7.2, none of which really worked on the Alix, unfortunately) and even deleted the partitions on the CF card between installs to make sure nothing is carried over.

The wifi-schedule plugin doesn't get built for your router, and thats why you can't find it.

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_PACKAGE_plugin-gargoyle-wifi-schedule is not set

You could:
1. do your own build, enable that package
2. try pointing your router at a target that does have the package. <-- i have no idea of the risks of doing so.

if you're going to attempt #2 please backup config first.

Thank you very much I will do a backup and try #2 once I get home, and report back if it worked.

Oh, just in case it doesn't work: is there another plugin that adds simple WiFi toggle (on/off) buttons to the web GUI? Because that's actually all I need. I'm building the router for my parents and showed them the SSH "wifi up/down" commands, but they weren't exactly thrilled by "that console stuff". WifiSchedule looks like it's a bit overkill for my needs, but it does have those buttons, and it's all I could find in that regard.

Does the router have an external button?
You could follow this guide and adapt it to your needs.

The instructions look long and frightening but it's all very simple.
