Anyone here want to do some experiment?

go to http : // router IP/debug.htm

enable telnet

and then

telnet to your router IP,

cd /etc/config

and then edit the "wireless" file for the 2.4ghz SSID (may be using vi). Reboot. to see if that will work...

I can't play with that, because many ppl in my house is using the router..

  In the latest firmware, telnet is always enabled, so there is no checkbox for that any longer.

    Because otherwise, wow.
