Added code to change wifi channel (WLAN_2G)

[saiballo]

Hello,

I like your script, very useful. great job!

I add some code lines to change wifi channel.

if [ "$option2" = "1" ]; then WLANstate "ON";
elif [ "$option2" = "0" ]; then WLANstate "OFF";
elif [ "$option2" = "STATE" ]; then WLANstate "STATE";

becames:

if [ "$option2" = "1" ]; then WLANstate "ON";
elif [ "$option2" = "0" ]; then WLANstate "OFF";
elif [ "$option2" = "STATE" ]; then WLANstate "STATE";
elif [ "$option2" = "CHANGECH" ]; then WLANstate "CHANGECH";

then after:

action='GetInfo'
		if [ "$option2" = "STATE" ]; then
			curlOutput1=$(curl -s -k -m 5 --anyauth -u "$BoxUSER:$BoxPW" "http://$BoxIP:49000$location" -H 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"' -H "SoapAction:$uri#$action" -d "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><s:Envelope s:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' xmlns:s='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><s:Body><u:$action xmlns:u='$uri'></u:$action></s:Body></s:Envelope>" | grep NewEnable | awk -F">" '{print $2}' | awk -F"<" '{print $1}')
			curlOutput2=$(curl -s -k -m 5 --anyauth -u "$BoxUSER:$BoxPW" "http://$BoxIP:49000$location" -H 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"' -H "SoapAction:$uri#$action" -d "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><s:Envelope s:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' xmlns:s='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><s:Body><u:$action xmlns:u='$uri'></u:$action></s:Body></s:Envelope>" | grep NewSSID | awk -F">" '{print $2}' | awk -F"<" '{print $1}')
			echo "2,4 Ghz Network $curlOutput2 is $curlOutput1"
		fi

add this:

action='SetChannel'
if [ "$option2" = "CHANGECH" ]; then
  rand=("1" "3" "6" "9" "11") 
  NEW_CH=$( shuf -e ${rand[@]} -n1 )
  echo "change channel"; curl -k -m 5 --anyauth -u "$BoxUSER:$BoxPW" "http://$BoxIP:49000$location" -H 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8"' -H "SoapAction:$uri#$action" -d "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><s:Envelope s:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' xmlns:s='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><s:Body><u:$action xmlns:u='$uri'><NewChannel>$NEW_CH</NewChannel></u:$action></s:Body></s:Envelope>" -s > /dev/null;
            echo "WIFI Channel changed to $NEW_CH"
fi

I needed only 5 channels. Of course "rand" array can be simple a random number in range or something similar to

$(( ( RANDOM % 10 ) + 1 ))

Hello @saiballo,

thanks. Implemented your function in the latest commit. Added all the other channels for 2.4 Ghz and also the possibility to change for 5Ghz network. Thanks for the idea. I will close the issue. Happy to see your new ideas 👍

See d54fd93
