SNMP set to reset/reboot Netgear WG102 Access Points

**FLU|TER** · 10-03-2012

There are large numbers of NetGear WG102 Access Points. Recently I have found that they will "lock-up" after several weeks. I am waiting for a firmware fix for this issue but for now I want a easy way to reboot / reset these APs. Finally an idea came up in my mind and that is all about using script containing an SNMP set. I want to use a command like

Code:

snmpset 10.74.1.201 PRIVATE .1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.4.3.1.8.2.0 integrer 1

Now I want the OID of the Netgear MIB which makes this command to work. Any help about this now?

After several hours of research I finally able to find a SNMP command to reset the WG102:

Code:

finesnmpset.exe 10.10.10.10 private 1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.4.3.9.1 integer 1

I hope that this command will work properly and can be scripted easily. If there is a latest firmware, then try to download it.

I urge you to find a cause for this problem. If this issue can be reproducible, then you will surely able to find a cause for the lack up. Otherwise you can try pin-pointing it. I have seen many routers which are lacking of resources and may lock up when there are many connections which it cannot handle. However to reboot, you can try using the wget through the WebUI like this

Code:

wget -v --no-check-certificate --http-user=admin --http-password=password --post-data="reboot_ap=1" https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ureboot.htm

I don’t have any experience with this. For lackup issue you obviously need to look for a latest version of firmware but before that you should check the firewall setting once again. If needed, you might need to re-configure the firewall after enabling the SNMP.
